I don't think this is the right direction to work in, though it solves an immediate practical problem. I'm exploring ways to share media with family and good friends (legal per fair use), I'm currently looking at easy-to-understand caching models, where you have a Spotify-like player functionality with a meta-library composed of your own library and those of your friends, and a way to manage which media to store/cache where. I also think the problem of P2P voting/curation/moderation is very interesting. I'm looking for ways to combine something like a web of trust with extra user-provided metadata, as a way to have a P2P library of content (which can be anything, forum posts, recipes, rich media) with P2P meta-library to store votes and signatures, where the moderation is tweakable by and transparent to all participants, because it's a function of the meta-library.

You mean you want eDonkey?

  No, I want a platform for decentralized apps that is capable of moderation/voting. eDonkey still uses central servers.

    This actually is a very interesting idea. It makes me think of popcorntime, for which I wish the movies industry had embraced the model. You can still perform some DRM "check" (check the user's credentials, and allow/deny access to the content) without embedding DRM in The content itself. I can't promise anything, but the platform you are talking about sounds quite interesting; would you be willing to share some more details (privately, maybe)?

      Yes, PopcornTime gave me the starting point to the idea. I still don't get why they choose to use a centralized API instead of a dynamic (as in, mutable and identified by public key and not content) P2P JSON file, I should probably open an issue. I don't think I've sufficiently fleshed it out yet, but I'll let you know when I have something coherent.
