 Why not build a behind the scenes BitTorrent client into #damus for streaming videos that have been indexed in #nostr?

 BitTorrent is not optimized for video streaming. The best tech for video streaming is Adaptive Bitrate Streaming. Not everyone has the same bandwidth so it doesn’t make sense to have a single bitrate for all connections.

I was actually brainstorming a protocol yesterday that was something like HLS + bittorrent, but it’s a hard problem.

 Does WebRTC + BitTorrent work?
