It didn't work; that's why Bitcoin has steadily become more centralized until it became non-decentralized enough to be practical.

So are we arguing semantics now and the exact definition of the word "decentralized"? Well alright, let's agree about this for the sake of argument.

What stops this proposed project from working in the same "decentralized" way that Bitcoin and other PoW schemes are "decentralized" right now, and are working practically? Why wouldn't it work in torrents?
