While torrents are great for some things (wrote my own bare bones client off of libtorrent and use it to send files to friends as well as download stuff, as well as merged it to work with my fork of opentraker that has a built in LSA search from hash-metadata mappings [0: that can also be distributed via torrents]), they are pretty poor at incentivizing people to seed unpopular content and have it be widely accessible, and tokens on various networks seems to have addressed that for specific applications (there are a bunch of decentralized aws-like type stuff popping up that involve a token, but I still think it will take some time for things to pan out).

Would be great if we could incentive via tokens people to run mastodon instances where people can log in with their address (and multiple chains tokens are recognized) because I personally have no desire for onchain social media like i do for onchain derivatives and exchange functionality.
