I think the best way to get this is to go back to local desktop apps sort of like napster, that has a blockchain crawler built withing. That way it can have everything, the UI, the node, and the indexer, and could go without censorship sort of like I2P works now. So a Bittorrent client with blockchained indexes and maybe a built-in torrent/magnet publisher for credits (NXT).
Totally doable with NXT, just shit loads of work, and high risk of not getting much usage I'm afraid. July 22, 2016, 05:20:32 AM

What about SIA and syscoin storage facility?
SIA mean to be decentralized storage and have heard that they have also successfully tested their platform. I think we need decentralized storage for all hosting and cloud storage needs.

Sure, but I think the Sia storage is a bit convoluted, I mean the storage contracts are not interchangable AFAIK. And you will still need the same hash from account/pvkey to be able to download the file, and I still not sure how fast is a sia download.
And you end up with the same issue of where to point these keys/contracts just like KAT host the magnet hash and the Torrent files.

nxt can host bittorrent files. only issue is the nxt fee required to do the upload.
now the question is what is the incentive for uploaders to pay a fee to give away files?
if there was a service or even a nxt whale to kickstart this movement by paying all the fees for uploaders, it can possibly go somewhere.

is it not possible that the uploader can charge something? if you want the link then you have to pay.
A valid point about how to handle the transaction fee cost. Granted is only 1 NXT but I am not sure many users hve the insentive to install NXT to submit a torrent file, and pay 1 NXT. Someone would need to pick up that tab for them.
That is a great question indeed.Maybe you could encrypt the data and combine it with DGS, letting users purchase the shared decryption key? Maybe showing ads on the site is enough to cover the costs? I'm sure there are other ways too. But no one has explored them yet that I know of.

this news was the worst thing i got for a long time but seeing this made me happy again. it would be awesome if such project could work well and without problem especially with no problem with DMCA which is always shutting down these torrents.
This is a juicy thread.

Really probably nothing needs to be done.
Kickass going down means that there is a power vacumn.
Kickass was making millions? Someone will step in to start making those millions as hosting torrents is obviously quite lucrative.
Its like busting a drug dealer. The authorities stopped nothing. Maybe they disrupted some disruption but they didn't disrupt the demand. Someone will step in to fill the shoes of kickass, or the drug dealer as there is shitload of demand.
Thedrug copyright war is a failure.

So obviously there needs to be something to bridge the gap between listing torrents for free and listing torrents for a fee.
the nxt torrent "search engine" is what has the ads that pays for the best torrents from the best voted uploaders
a mix of kickstarter ,reddit, and blockchain explorer.
Torrents get added to nxt if enough people vote them in/ agree to pay/ subscribe/ tip/

Or I dont think NXT is the best solution, since, even if the blockchain(DB) is uncensorable, still will be on a censorable website with a censosable domain in a centralized fashion.
Steemit is a good example, where is a decentralized coin, but on a centralized Bulleting board. So in the end, I am not sure what.

My biggest issue is accesibility, also I dont think you need a fee for each commit. I think you could do some sort of color coin/token that can handle many inserts in the transaction.
But also an ICO that can get enough to land an advertiser and earn money from the advertising revenue, just like KAT. Maybe we can 'borrow' KAT advertisers, like VPN providers and such.
I know something like that happens with other Torrent-like sites like EZTV.

So if you guys remember the OpenBay project, where Kickass also chip in. DBDump it had around 23M records. That ammount in NXT is around 560K USD.

My opinion is that the foundation for a decentralized torrent data cloud is available with NXT. However, the structure and code to make a user friendly website remain to be built.
I belielve this won't be built by the Nxt devs, but the NXT API can be use and is available to build it.

Ok seems there is a plugin for torrents here:
https://nxtforum.org/nxt-plugins/file-sharing-plugin-v0-2/
But this only serves users of the NXT wallet. Which is also not a good idea. We want a site powered by Crypto, not a crypto wallet powered by torrents. I was thinking something more among the lines of http://coinsecrets.org/
Sort of an explorer just for the OP_RETURN code content.
If there was a public explorer for Data Cloud Torrent files then it will make sense.
PD: Non really crypto related, but ZeroNet has ZeroTorrents, the UI is still not quite there yet, since it used the ZeroBoard app as a base, basically making it a BBS like this one, to just post the magnets, as opposed of a better more searchable site like Pirate Bay, EZTV or KAT.
You need to have ZeroNet to be able to get in the network, but you can view the site through proxies:
https://bit.no.com:43110/ZeroTorrent.bit
