RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)In BitTorrent, content is typically broken up among multiple nodes, and can only be obtained by assembling different pieces from multiple nodes. If the police confiscate a BitTorrent server, they will typically find no legible version of the illegal content. With blockchains a given whole piece of content is typically found on one server, although it may or may not be broken up into different transactions or even different blocks. As a result the entire, legible illegal content ca ...

RT Colby Serpa (@colbyserpa)Nostr and BitTorrent are less vulnerable to arbitrary data storage attacks when compared with today's blockchains because data can be selectively deleted from those nodes, or stored temporarily, whereas a blockchain can only be verified if *all* of the blocks are downloaded by a given full-node. Unfortunately, all that data is stored permanently by each full-node. Finding a way to achieve verifiability without keeping the raw data is the ultimate challenge for this generation. ...
