I urge people to support the implementation of DHT feeds [1] in famous BitTorrent clients. The idea being that people can subscribe to specific DHT keys they trust, and publishers can publish at that key (by signing the content). This would virtually allow us to use the DHT platform, already in use for sharing IP addresses of peers downloading specific content, also for decentralized torrent "sites" that can't be shut down.

- bro-stick 11y agoDistributed is much more swat proof, and the clear way to go because it reduces the SPOF of a single domain or API taking everyone down. Popcorn Time proved to be another Lavabit doomed to fail as expected... you need Popcorn Time beauty and ease of use with distributed "netflix meets TPB meet Wikipedia meets i2p" voting and metadata corrections to ensure the system is as reliable as the number of reachable users, not subject to some half-assed, un-swat proof central SPOF servers that don't have at least as good hosting and security as TPB.
