All of us. Everyone. I keep circling back to the idea that we should all join a protection ring, so we'd all share "cost" on this. > How do you ensure latency is not atrocious? > Why hasn't someone made this already? First one is very technical, and the answer is most probably by localisation and by only actually turning it on when needed. For the second: because it's a very hard technical problem and there is basically no money in it. Business value maybe, but it would need people and companies to collaborate, it would probably need committee level decisions, and so far, nobody wanted to deal with this. Or at least that's my theory. EDIT Maybe dat:// will eventually become a viable option, and with that, due to the distributed nature, this kind of DDOS protection is sort of built in.
