@FansStability @feross Oh, @feross made webtorrent-cli? Thank you @feross!! It’s the best torrent client I’ve ever used. It even quits when it’s done downloading by default instead of endlessly seeding by default.

BitTorrent (BTT) was Web3 before Web 2.0 even existed.

@feross As someone who's spent the last 2 years building an app on top of WebTorrent, I just want to say thank you! It's such an awesome project and an example of genuine decentralization / actual engineering—not phony get-rich-quick token stuff.

For some reason, WebTorrent is on the Hacker News homepage. Currently #2. I left a comment with some reflections on the project here:

Lot of teams use GUN + WebTorrent ♥ @Feross. GUN to sync the directory, magnet link, description, comments, etc. & WebTorrent to stream the video.

@Dzre @marknadal I am working with @marknadal to expand Gun's capabilities and build its DHT. Personally, I think Gun is the future. WT won't be going anywhere though. WT trackers are scarce and overloaded. But you can spin up your own:

An interesting parallel between my conversation with @pfrazee ( https://t.co/qP6Vq8Y4eu) and @feross ( https://t.co/VvhodzhkdQ) is the value of having a server in the loop in a p2p system.
