Pretty wild stuff.

quoting note1pkv…2hmx

It feels like nostr is enabling a decentralized protocol renaissance. Kieran (npub1v0l…qj49) added this torrent NIP recently: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1175 what if we utilize bittorrent for discovering and sharing files via nostr? This is not a new idea but the network affects could have huge benefits on seeding:

Imagine someone reposts a torrent and says “please help me seed this”. Then clients could integrate bittorrent and start helping out right away. Then you could zap people who helped seed.

nostr can fix many decentralized protocol incentives problem just from its network effects and embrace of open protocols.
