Connecting decentralization + obfuscation process of file sharing to digital currency. Rough draft: • Beenz/Flooz → FTP and IRC • DigiCash → MojoNation (visionary, too early) • e-gold → Napster • Bitcoin → Limewire/Kazaa/eDonkey • Zcash → BitTorrent Thoughts?

Only semi-related, but here's a list of current projects you might enjoy looking into: GnuSocial + Mastodon + Pleroma + PeerTube, Dat + Beaker Browser, IPFS, Scuttlebutt, umm that's all I remember off the top of my head a lot of those broadly count as file-sharing

Thanks! I’m on
@vgr’s Mastodon (http://refactorcamp.org ) and have used IPFS. I’ve read up on a few others. Next thing I want to dive deep on is Tribler since they’ve been screwing around with both sides of this since before the crypto craze I believe1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
