Minglong has only a handful of fansub groups that are listed on main page. Picking out anime subbers from that won't be hard but nothing stops anime groups from releasing live-action once in a while or vice-versa. Most of them will probably post on TT and the rest will be posted on TT by someone else so I don't think there's need to hurry and make quick solutions. Plus, they do some DDL themselves.
When torrenting becomes impossible, ppl will use filehosting sites. And then that becomes impossible, ppl will use streaming venues. As long as ppl can access things over HTTP, darknet won't become mainstream.
"Although ZeroNet can't run scripting languages like PHP or Ruby, you can create dynamic sites using ZeroNet's API (called ZeroFrame), JavaScript (or CoffeeScript) and the built-in SQL database."
I know. Video stream is 720x480 (3:2 or 1.5 ratio) flagged as anamorphic 16:9 (or 1.66666). Screenshots are better be 16:9 since that's how video is supposed to be displayed (and video stream has that information), but doing 3:2 screenshots is also reasonable since that's how raw video is. System does neither and makes screenshots in 50:27 ratio (or 1.85) which is wrong and that's why I pointed that out.
They won't be uploading .torrent files to other web sites/torrent indexes, but they still seed torrents and distribute magnet links (even with a couple of torrent trackers).
You got both points right. The ideas are there. What's missing is the traction from user side. That will be, in time. As you may have heard Turkey banned Wikipedia (rofl) so that time might be sooner than we expect.
Also hope you're happy, I made an account here cuz of you. Now admin knows I called him a 17 y/o girl.
Hyperboria is awesome, and something like that is the future for sure. However, it needs to pass a threshold of adoption locally for it to work at all. On the other hand, things like the SAFE Network, that build on the existing internet infrastructure, can smoothly scale up from sparse global adoption.
Libswift is barebones bittorrent, right? It looks like a good idea, but it doesn't provide something fundamentally superior to bittorrent (e.g. privacy, that stuff would stay seeded, etc), so I doubt it could take over.
how does this help AT? whole nyaa tracker (http://open.nyaatorrents.info:6544/announce) is dead, air go most of it's seeders. You'll be lucky to get some seeds on DHT.
It's all about utility v.s. cost. Bittorrent is becoming costly because nobody has a few years to throw away in jail. With that pressure in place, and as long as the alternative is just as easy to use (and maybe even superior in some other ways, too), there's no reason it wouldn't get adopted fast.
Yea, I'm mostly targeting this post to those who can understand it and care about it, but somehow have missed it so far. I'm not expecting much, but still it's worth getting the word out :)
You are right, it needs to get to the point where users don't need to understand or care about how it works. It will take some time. If a random qualified person here gets excited and joins the effort, that may make it a week or two faster.
As for the adoption, it will be super fast, exactly because of torrents. Once something is up there, it's accessible for anybody with minimal investment (client install is already one-click, and it's just the test nets!), except no worrying for copyright trolls and governments, and no dead files. It's a no-brainer, especially for the lazy-ass bastards who's the majority.
Most ppl on this site and otherwise will think you've gone insane. They can barely understand how http or bittorrent works yo.
That being said I'm 100% percent behind techs like maidsafe, zeronet, ipfs. Problem lies like always between chair and keyboard. Without mainstream adoption these will always be useless. There won't be people to download from there, hence to people to release there which equals no traction. Maybe, MAYBE if some really draconian laws (and enforced too) appear then people will migrate. And I mean arresting thousands of ppl and such. Until then why should they. Nyaa went down . Big deal. Plenty of torrent sites around (tokyotosho,anidex, anirena). Plenty of release groups (animerg, hi10dl, kametsu) that offer ddl or even http. Not to mention AT. 1 script change and it's business as usual. If you're a hipster you can even try IRC and XDCC. There's only like a gazillion tutorials and hey, no ads. Free clients too: xchat, nettalk.
So yeah, maidsafe will remain a tech demo until some really serious shit happens.
If you're really passionate about this kind of stuff look into hyperboria for a truly awesome idea. Also as an aside google "libswift multiparty" for some neat protocol.
^Magnet & Torrent Search Engine, indexing nearly 87,000,000 submitted torrents on the net, including all Nyaa's torrents, Anidex and many other public and semi-private trackers, and updating. I personally find it really useful.
