Regarding content and video distribution, we already have a working decentralized platform: BitTorrent. We even have clients allowing searching and previewing videos from torrents (PopcornTime and the like). The infrastructure is already there, the only barriers are psychological at this point.
- Razengan 7y ago> the only barriers are psychological at this point. For me, the barriers are: eating up more than the file's size from my limited ISP quota, and CPU and battery usage when unplugged. The CPU and battery issues can be resolved by seeding only while charging/idle/under a specific CPU temperature. One hemisphere could serve the other while half the world sleeps every day/night. As for data caps, we again see the need for decentralizing the physical connectivity layer.
