I love Nostro for how simple it is & how expansive their Nostro Improvement Potential (NIPs) world is. Few other protocols show the willingness to start simple & grow quick.

You have super narrow winning ideas. It's not clear what your qualm is with bittorrent at all. I guess you have almost no idea how flexible or potentiating it is. Go look at Tribbler & all the crazy extensions they're pioneered. I don't understand your super narrow specific use cases in general, what you see as the problems, and think you need to actually build a a real case for what you want, which is absent entirely here.

Nostro or Nostr? I've heard of Nostr but can't find anything on Nostro.

Not sure why OP has typoed it twice, but they're talking about Nostr.

Nostr has got nothing to do with my question.

It's very neat and I like it a lot, but it's not a P2P streaming video protocol. I explained the use case and the problem that pretty clearly.

> You have super narrow winning ideas

I do not get why you are attacking a very targeted question, and provide a totally unrelated answer, as it's clear you didn't even read the post. Quite rude.
