> As long as there are seeds in the network
There's one problem. Like all other P2P, when people find it not interesting, they stop seeding and it will naturally die.

How does the application determine who's the single source of truth?
> No domains to block, no repositories to block
But how does one discover the hash/magnet link? Search over P2P I guess?

One can craft a program, a special browser like Tor Browser using C++ or something. Any particular reason why JS?
Just my 2 cents. I find the idea interesting yet needs polish.

Hashes can be distributed by any means already available: facebook,twitter,websites, pen and paper, etc. > One can craft a program, a special browser like Tor Browser using C++ or something. Any particular reason why JS? Not particularly, mostly ease-of-use and cross-platform abilities readily available. This same idea can work on any stack ofcourse > Just my 2 cents.
