Yep. "Worse is Better". We see the same thing with darknet markets: they're only as decentralized and secure as they are forced to be. Their predecessors often (and still do!) run on the clearnet.
Yup. As much as it pains me since I like the project, I think this worse is better for decentralization rule applies perfectly to OpenBazaar
Bodes well for Augur, though! :)
Search as in “content discovery” is still outsourced to torrent sites, whereas FastTrack (aka Kazaa), ED2K and Gnutella provided just that functionality
Yup. I think it is very interesting to reflect on why that is. Current theory: decentralization doesn’t emerge until all activists (like The Pirate Bay) are unwilling to take the centralized risk
That is true, but things are a bit more complicated. Gnutella, ED2K and FastTrack emerged because the centralized Napster got shut down. Re-centralized torrent sites emerged in part because people were unhappy to participate in a single network with un-curated content.
Don’t forget Groove. It was a P2P application platform that was created by Ray Ozzie, the creator of Lotus Notes. Groove was acquired by Microsoft in 2005. Ray became Microsoft’s CTO and Chief Software Architect. Groove never lived up to the P2P hype and was retired.
