>That is significantly more work than posting a torrent to a tracker, with significantly less discoverability. Is it? Install Torrent client / IPFS client, create a torrent / add your files to it, then tell other people the torrent magnet link / ipfs link. Optionally, other people can open your magnet link / ipfs link with a web gateway site instead of installing software. (I'm not personally aware of torrent web gateways, but I assume some exist. The fact that they're popular for IPFS seems like a point for IPFS.) >Is that hash at least decoupled from the content? Content in both torrent magnet links and ipfs links is content-addressable. They're both based on a hash of the content. Distributing updated versions (of a torrent, or an ipfs link) is a task for a different layer.
