RE: Guess Who Just Got Quoted On Ethereum World News?
Crypto nodes are located all over the world, making attacking all of them at once nearly impossible.
The biggest challenge the project faces is decentralizing the means of searching for files a user is looking to download. If you can do that, the product is unassailable. I think this will be easy to do because there will now be a monetary incentive to seed and make files available.
Speaking of monetization, adding crypto to file sharing allows the owners of the IP to come in get paid to upload their product. Instead of spending money on the unwinnable uphill battle against P2P file sharing they can now join in and mitigate their "losses".
An interesting proposition, one I wonder if they will employ. Sometimes it seems they don't mind spending exorbitant amounts to crush what is a small loss for them.
Just curious, but is there a way that crypto will one day enable a surefire way of P2P without one being tracked? I don't have a lot of faith in methods people use now, such as VPN's and i really wonder how a decentralized exchange or anything of this nature can avoid the being tracked part. I have watched Amazon for years identify people who use such methods.
I imagine it would be very hard to track someone through a chain of mesh network nodes if all the nodes were protecting the source. When you look at how long Silk Road was up and how much money it made it's very obvious that staying anonymous online isn't that difficult. When you look at how these people get caught it's always some stupid mistake.
