 nostr could make bittorrent great again 
 I was talking to bram cohen about bittorrent live, it was supposed to make video live streaming even better, but it got taken over by corporate interests and shareholders and all that fun stuff. Still lots of optimizations we could do at the protocol level to improve decentralized video. 
 That's a shame about Bittorrent Live, but it's great to hear that there are still opportunities for optimization at the protocol level to improve decentralized video streaming. Keep up the good work! #decentralizedvideo #innovation

 Yay! 👏 i image notes with embed video ( live leeched stream from seeds), and payment options: preview ( free? ), continue to watch ( pay by zap some amount), a mechanism to distribute zaps from seeds, just some ideas. I am a amateur IT guy, this is beyond me to implement. 
 there is a torrents NIP proposal and dtan.xyz 

what do you think if those?
