> Distributed storage of immutable content-addressable blobs is not that hard of a problem. To do so equitably without the ability to be gamed is quite difficult. BitTorrent is quite game-able so we end up with closed communities and private trackers. To handwave these adversarial concerns away is unhelpful. Implement a s/kademlia DHT with all of the security conventions in latter papers and it becomes clear how hard it is to do safely. I am confident IPFS's DHT could be quite easily harmed (most are implemented around hash bucket closeness) if it were valuable enough to do so.
