Discussion about paper "Towards a peer-to-peer imageboard"

I'm reading the paper posted by Fredrick Brennan regarding the different approaches of making a decentralized image board and i came to this part.

"In a BitTorrent-like magnet
network, unpopular or old images can fall out of the network over time, but in a
blockchain, all images must be stored forever no matter what they depict."

I think there is a clear winner here being the bit torrent approach, follow the approach most chans have traditionally used that old/inactive images/threads fall out of the ecosystem of the board.

Imageboards are not meant to be a permanently archived and searchable format, if you think they should then you should also think about going back to reddit.

OP is a fag

you are an idiot

OP is a faggot and should go back. There's already a decentralized imageboard on zeronet that handles this problem by making anons host the posts they want to see, and unhost/hide the posters they dont. Along with having to download each post individually as they view the thread to reduce bandwidth. Those posters that got hid could just make a new ID and post under it if they cared to. There's even a universal anonymous ID that if posted under makes it hard to hide posts.

Well this isn't a botpost glownigger thread is it?

SAGE.

We already have a thread for his

I visited image boards on the deep Web And I visited peer to peer image boards and let me tell you they are a bad idea Because it just ends up turning into a cp fest

Just block images you faggot and only click/download images selectively you want to see. Which is to say do not download cp. If some faggot is spamming cp just delete/remove his posts that don't have any text content and block his posting ID. Also I don't see cp on any of the p2p boards I browse.....

Decentralized anything isn't really a good idea in the first place. I mean look at how peertube, mastodon, etc all suck.
