- matheusmoreira 4y ago> Cryptographically verified? How did we do it all these years? Yeah, how did you? Data can get corrupted, you know. Things like hashing and error correction are essential. > And I would like a source for your claim regarding BitTorrent. Launch any torrent client. There will be an indicator of how many complete copies exist amongst the peers in the swarm. The higher the number, the more well preserved the data is. Really simple. It's also self-healing since you can check the data and fix errors by downloading the damaged blocks again. Bittorrent is essentially the Linus Torvalds "real men publish things online so the whole world can mirror it" approach to backup and preservation. Shame copyright holders had to ruin it.
