https://zeronet.io works similarly:
- Namecoin .bit domains
- The sites ownership protected by same cryptography as Bitcoin (the site address is also a valid Bitcoin address, you can also use it as wallet)
- Full Tor support to hide your IP (.onion peers)
- BIP32 (HD wallet) based user identity
- Multi-user sites, working examples: Reddit-like forum, Blog with comments, Email-like end-to-end encrypted messaging (ECIES+AES)
Topic: Use Namecoin for decentralized torrented Websites? (Read 573 times)
I'm not sure of the file requirements for torrents or exactly how Namecoin works but would it be possible to create a .bit Namecoin address, then add torrent information to point to a torrent file somewhere with the full html file along with links to other .bit pointers that could point to pictures, videos, audio, etc?
Say I create an index.html file with "Hello World" saved on it. Then I upload the torrent somewhere, call it 1234abcd_index.html. Then in Namecoin I use my private key to add the underlying torrent information to point to that file and link it to helloworld.bit. Then a Firefox plugin could be created to use an installed Namecoin client when the helloworld.bit address is opened which would then find the torrent and use a bittorrent client to open the html file in the browser.
Completely decentralized websites. People in China could create websites about how much they hate their government or people in Colorado could create a website for their marijuana store.
