0xchat isn't p2p
Discussion
No no, I called it an IM. I know it’s not p2p like Keet
How does p2p make it awesome?
Decentralized & censorship-resistant if they actually have it working
BitTorrent and cryptocurrency are the best examples
On chain transactions just work because they're P2P, lightning fucks up all the time because it's more centralized
BitTorrent just works because it's p2p, Netflix fails all the time because it's more centralized
Cool, so that’s the beauty of p2p “if it works”! Thanks for the great explanation
If it works, it just works 🤙
Well, crypto and BitTorrent work pretty well
If I remember the history correctly, bittorrent took a few tries to get right after rethinking other p2p file sharing systems like Napster
Amazing how Satoshi Nakamoto basically made cryptocurrency on the first try 🔥
Okay, total doofus question
Wasn’t Skype p2p before Microsoft bought it?
Maybe partly but with a centralized server for logins and stuff, I think
Just googled it. Skype was initially p2p
So, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is inventing the Skype of 2008 😂😂
Skype never quite worked well though
It's very important to reach that point where it just works, so it keeps just working
Maybe the #nostr protocol will make p2p more doable
That’s why nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is excited 😂😂
