p2p storage as in torrent or IPFS or whatever is the part that we kinda' solved already. Serving/searching/addressing without the (centralized) DNS is still missing for a (urgently needed) p2p censorship resistant internet. Unfortunately this guy just uses some buzzwords to offer nothing new - why would I share links to that site instead of sharing torrent magnet links?
Its been tried/done but attracted the same audience of investors looking to make a quick buck as opposed to looking to actually make it work.
From what i've seen you need some minimum percentage of makeithappen-ers amoung those interested in a project.
It seems the guy running the extension just left. With minimum influence on the value.
I use to add webseeds but clients seem to love just downloading it from there rather than from my conventional seeding.
Some new ideas are needed in this space.
Thinking about this a little bit... could we use a blockchain ledger as an authoritative source for DNS records?
User's can publish their DNS + pub key to the append-only blockchain, signed with their private key.
Use a torrent file to connect to an initial tracker to download the blockchain.
Once the blockchain is downloaded, every computer would have a full copy of the DNS database and could use that for discoverability.
I have no experience with blockchains or building trackers, so maybe this is a dumb idea.
