looks like #bittorrent dev has kinda stalled recently. many torrent devs are working on shitcoin projects now (chia, tron). Not many clients have v2 support. Maybe we need more bittorrent v2 implementoors. I am itching on hacking support for this in notedeck 🤔

bittorrent is not all about piracy. could be an interesting way to share files on nostr, as an alternative or combined approach with blossom.

bittorrent v2[1] is interesting because of its merkle hash trees: the same file can be replicated across torrent swarms.

So if you share a directory with multiple files in one torrent, and that files exists in other torrents, you can share the same seeders for those files. Maybe you could even use #blossom nodes as seeders if they have a merkle root hash that you need?

Lots of cool possibilities here 🤔
