Torrenting doesn’t deal well with updating files.
And you have another problem: how do you handle bad actors spamming the download ?
That’s probably why github does that.
That’s true. I didn’t think of that.
IPFS supposedly works fine with updating shares. But I don’t want to get closer to that project as they had fallen into cryptoscam territory.
I’m currently reading about “radicle” let’s see what the propose.
I don’t get the bad actors spamming the download. Like downloading too much? Torrent leechers?
EDIT: Just finished by search sbout radicle. They of course have relations with a cryptomscam. Obviously… ;_; why this keep happening?
There’s literally nothing about crypto in radicle from my reading, cryptography and crypto currency are not synonymous.
Ah because they also have a different project for a crypto payment platform for funding open source development.
Edit again: it seems pretty nifty actually, why do you think it’s a scam? Just because crypto?
