Glad to hear it! Indeed, most platforms have a central point of failure somewhere. Note that Bittorrent swarms never get overloaded, we use that same technique:

Glad to hear it! Indeed, most platforms have a central point of failure somewhere. Note that Bittorrent swarms never get overloaded, we use that same technique: extreme decentralisation.
