One thing that wasn't clear in the protocol or explanation page was the favorite-of-a-favorite discovery.
I'm assuming this works by including your personal favorites in your meta torrent, so when people get your new content, they also get a list of who you've favorited?
Does this also mean that the meta update notification gets sent out when I favorite / de-favorite someone?
- gw 14y agoYeah, your favorites are stored in your meta torrent, so it will be updated every time you add a favorite user or post.
- pudquick 14y agoThanks, figured that was the case. Nice take on announce_meta, btw. I had mused over something similar (though not as well fleshed out) to the Nightweb concept but kept bumping my ahead against the notion of how to announce additional content when the bittorrent protocol ties info hashes (and magnet links) to a direct hash of the content - meaning you could never update something already announced for a specific key. And since the hashes are content based, it's not like you could say "my next content will be <<previous hash plus 1>>". Extending the protocol to include a new announcement method side-steps this very nicely :) Kudos.
