- ShinyLeftPad 3mo ago> torrents need trackers but we still consider them peer to peer false. there's DHT and we sometimes exchange magnet links with friends and trackers are optional. trackers just allow it easier and at scale. > crypto needs nodes but we still consider them decentralized It's only decentralized when somebody doesn't get to control enough nodes.
