BitTorrent does what again? Yeah, I know they claim to have 100-some million users, but that's pretty easy to say. I think the buyers got a bad deal here. I have followed technology for a long time and BitTorrent has managed to get in the headlines once every 2-3 years with some big announcement or the other, all of which have amounted to nothing.. correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure i'm not. There last big announcement was (surprise, surprise!) another crypto-currency thing to add to the 1600 that are already out. Like that's going to go far...

Just to clarify: you're talking about the company here, not the protocol, right? Otherwise I'd know a few peeps who'd disagree... :)

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the last announcement as you claim wasn't anything to do with BitTorrent but instead was about Bram Cohen dipping his fingers into Crypto with Chia. Less as an action of BitTorrent but more of an action as him as an individual. He's no longer with BitTorrent according to the wikipedia page on him

It sounds like the Resilio folks made the right call splitting away from BitTorrent the company.
