You are really failing to understand how it works, and I am failing to explain it properly.
No. Similar to a Distributed Hash Table. It won’t matter if people go
https://mysiteor yoursite`. With a DHT, all you need is the hash of the file, and your node will be able to locate all servers who have the relevant pieces of data and send it to you.Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 11 months ago
I actually do know how it works, but I sure have a hard time understanding the usefulness.

Then we are going to go in circles: people already described use-cases and your knee-jerk reaction is to respond with “but I can do *something vaguely related* with OVH”.
This gets tiring, and I’d rather do something else with my time. Have a good one.

Maybe you’re right, and I fail to find any kind of usefulness for this distributed hash table. I really try though, sorry to inconvenience you, but it sure feels like a BTC ledger without the security nor the longevity.
