@paradigm the problem is that most normies don't want the tradeoff that come with a P2P streaming service

and I mean a FULL P2P system

not what bitchute does

so essentially having it like, If video speed is under the required amount for that quality setting then use the server to make up for it, if the video passes the requirement then use P2P

the problem is that users can easily be hostile to it

what do you mean by "hostile"?

in this context

we are Screwed Blued and Tattooed

without going too much into detail. But if a site like that became popular, an addon that blocks seeding would be enough to ruin it

Eww 🤢 I just saw a Muslim woman got elected

I did some projects in Bittorrent

it is really easy to exploit it

Ilhan Omar

I assume bitchute leverages webtorrent with the webseed BEP in the torrents
no?

Rashida Tlaib

what would block seeding @.B

@paradigm they need to store every video on their side

you just need to block uploading on webtorrent

America proud to embrace the Muslims

As their new overlord

how close are let's say torrents to a "full" P2P system?

they have chosen that requirement @.B
but storage and static torrent serving are dirt cheap

@Asteral they have a built-in streaming service

it's incredibly easy

bittorrent = p2p
one may fairly consider it a reference implementation

storage isn't cheap if you give free rights to every user to upload what they want

👆

did you ever pay for a server?

I have

it's expensive

even bandwidth is expensive af

sure @.B
so use IPFS and require people to supply their own master copy

bandwidth is cheap

yeah, for instance a back up server of mutliple TB's requires a fee when downloading it

bandwidth is cheap on residential contracts

not for servers

do tell

heh

make a simulation on it

go to amazon

and put 1 petabyte
