Hello everyone, I'm wondering if WebTorrent, the above way, has the potential to replace email as we know it, and possibly even every other communication, discovery and onboarding channel. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. While it may seem simple at the end, I have spent weeks and many all-nighters considering this possibility.

Another way that came to mind, which is more p2pt like, is constantly fetching ip and port of all interested sources of a torrent. To re-trigger being in that "list", one would continously delete their localstorage, but use the magnetlink to download it new.

Hi @worldpeaceenginelabs

As this is more of a question, and not an issue related to WebTorrent, I'm going to close this down.

What you're describing sounds like a perfect use case for using BEP 46, which would allow any device with your private key to update contents of the public key over time, and allow for the peers to pull the latest version of content from the DHT as this updates.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them in the comments without re-opening the issue.

Hi @SilentBot1

Thanks for hinting me on the BEPs.

My concept is basicly this:

Should i make this a recommendation for a new BEP maybe?

BTW: This is a different concept than the one above. This one needs some coding, while the above routine works out of the (BitTorrent/Webtorrent) box!
