BitTorrent v2
I make P2P tools too. [0] Let me tell you this: Bittorrent is one of the few things in the space that actually ... works.<p>It works not in the sense that there is a white paper that should work. Not in the sense that there are a few company-made swarms hosted on industrial servers that keep everyone up and alive, so that the thing gives the impression the &#x27;P2P&#x27; network does work. Not in the sense that there is a very-well oiled marketing machinery talking about Web 3.0 that allows its founder to go on TechCrunch and talk about the upcoming distributed paradise.<p>Bittorrent works in the way you install it into your computer and it does something for you. And for that alone, it has my immense respect and attention.<p>It&#x27;s a tool that doesn&#x27;t pitch that it&#x27;s a P2P tool - it doesn&#x27;t try to convince you with sob stories about how using P2P helps fight against the big bad evil web. Instead, you use it because it&#x27;s genuinely the best at what it does: it being P2P is not a selling point, it&#x27;s just how it happens to work, and that is exactly what it should be.<p>That is something all P2P developers should aspire towards.<p>[0] Aether P2P: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getaether.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getaether.net</a>
