Nostr Web Client

Has TPB ever been censored? (Successfully?)

You've got a point there, as TPB has resisted censorship along the years in several ways.

But the UX using it has also suffered, as you have to keep looking for operational TPB proxies, or other ways to access it.

Imo, the UX could be greatly improved using an dedicated nostr client and relays.

There are also improvements on trusting published torrents as nostr events allow for Web of Trust architecture.

I high-key hate WoT. It's a stupid failure point.

Nostr for UX? Yes, please.

There is one aspect though. Big things are happening on big private trackers where they have strict rules bound to your profile (like seed ratio). All that needs to be "recreated" or the torrent community will never use nostr.

I honestly don't think that torrents needs to be on Nostr. At least not yet.

I think it'd be cool to advertise magnet links to nostr

That's not a bad idea!

That already exists!
