You could lock the ID once transfer has started, no?

- logicallee 2y agoI mean that with short ID's you could be transferring to the wrong person. Someone could squat all the short ID's, I think. (Just have a browser open for all of them and accept any downloads.) Then they would get things that weren't intended for them. I am not an expert on WebRTC but I think this is why the ID's have a length like that, to prevent multiple people from using the same ID.
- atmanactive 2y agoYes, the worldwide scope is the problem here. I could envision a drop-down where users could choose the desired scope, like, for example: LAN, City, Country, Continent, and World. The wider the scope, the more chars used for the hash ID.
