There's one more obstacle in the way of adopting any such system - the private torrent DRM garbage. Torrent creators stupidly mark their torrents private or not, changing that flag changes the infohash and you might not be able to access the files with the new hash, it's incredibly hypocritical.
- pessimizer 7y agoYou're not forced to make your torrents private, so I'm not sure how that's related.
- Avamander 7y agoIf the original suggestion is to share files without restrictions between people or torrents active that would require dropping DRM that stops people from using things like DHT/PEX/LPD with their torrents.

Private is not used for DRM, it's used for security on every private tracker.
- Avamander 7y agoThe private flag also annoyingly exists on many public torrents with no good way to override. It is DRM.
