Maybe I’m too dumb and don’t understand but it seems to me it’s just like that but with end to end encryption and hashing.
I’m all for it but I’ve just been curious as to what all the hype was about

- one large dht for all files !
- no tracker (decentralized tracker)
- de-duplication feature
- immutability while allowing some mutability
- expands its mission beyond filesharing (website hosting)
- encryption and local features
- other subtle design efficiencies
you shouldn’t look at lack of popularity/social-proof as an indication of weakness, because the attractiveness is mired by some random vices.
- technical learning curve dissuades newcomer adoption. easy UX is vital.
- doesn’t provide a huge major/urgent benefit over bittorent
- critical mass matters. and has none.
- piracy matters. piracy is popular. but this project was never intented for that.
- weird seeming connections cryptocurrency and businesses that leverage it to create p2p markets.
- competition with zeronet and also all the other filesharing techs that already exist and have satisfied users.
final note:
i got it configured to work on android! but i’m ,personally, not aware of a one-click android app from google playstore that “just works” instantly.
