It's not illegal* and it's been out there for 2 decades đ . Now what people torrent, is none of my business but for every good use case, I'm sure it could be used for evil things.

Would be great to keep uploaded pics and videos around.
fiatjaf even once made a prototype for sat-paid seeding.
where's that prototype?
I think blossom devs just built sats into filesharing

yeah, its part of a long running PR in the blossom repo to support HTTP 402 status codes with lightning and cashu https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom/pull/29
nostr:npub138s5hey76qrnm2pmv7p8nnffhfddsm8sqzm285dyc0wy4f8a6qkqtzx624 sorry the PRs been open so long but I've wanted to thoroughly test it before its officially part of the blossom spec

BUD-07 outlines generating a 402 status code for the GET method when attempting to access a blob. To implement what youâre suggesting, it could be as simple as providing a dedicated URL (like a âtipsâ endpoint), where the server would return a 402 HTTP status code along with a X-Lightning or X-Cashu header. If the client is a browser, it would require a third-party extension/app like Alby to handle the payment.
As far as I see it, there shouldnât be any major obstacles, as long as we adhere to (and maybe stretch a little đ¤Ł) the BUD guidelines.
No need to apologize, I completely understand that this needs to mature and be thoroughly tested before becoming part of Blossom.
By the way, nostrcheck-server is already compatible with this BUD, allowing sats to be received (by both the server owner and the pubkey who uploaded the file) for file uploads/downloads. Once more clients implement this, it will be fully activated đ¤

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 you told me about a BitTorrent client extension once, where you can pay seeders in Bitcoin. Is the sourcecode available somewhere?
Cannot find the original note with nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 *wink*
I never finished it. It involved sending Lightning invoices back and forth using extension messages and keeping track of small prepaid balances between peers, but it had too many bugs and I lost my patience. It was a CLI thing in Go and I couldn't find the source code now, anyway that source code is mostly useless. Later I tried to recreate it with webtorrent but didn't go very far either.
These guys did, though: https://web3torrent.statechannels.org/ (it's shitcoin stuff, beware)
