RE: Guess Who Just Got Quoted On Ethereum World News?
Congrats on getting quoted. I don't currently hold any Tron, but it was one of the first investments I made when I was stupid enough to think I could day trade, lol. I actually made some money on it overall although it also taught me not to be a weak handed little bitch.
If my finances smooth out in the next month maybe I will grab a little more to Hodl. At .04 each the risk is minuscule. I remember debating with someone else who was complaining they had some in their portfolio, knocking Sun for his proclivity to hype his project, even announcing he had announcements coming. Then they admitted the coin was up from what they had bought in at. Some people you just can't please.
Monetizing file sharing sound intriguing, although I will be curious how they will avoid the fate some of the earlier P2P sites went through due to the sharing of copyrighted materials.
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.
