Did I miss something. Is this going to be a tor network site? I was under the assumption that this was at purevidz.net and not a ,onion site.
No it will not be a tor network site. For those in areas with very strict internet filtering we will offer a .onion domain so that they can still access an archive of our website and its magnet links. With that data they can still use whatever torrent client they prefer to download the torrents in a traditional manner. It's simply a fallback and is not intended as a main feature of our project.
Excuse my ignorance but what on earth if a fake seeder and how can they destroy pure vidz.
He is discussing issues with a different project, not ours.
Can you explain what those problems are and why they wont effect pure vidz plz.
The two projects have entirely different goals. It would be like explaining why building a house doesn't have the same issues as building a car. Both can be complex projects with fantastic results but they are not particularly related to eachother.
We are building upon our work with WebTorrent to update how the world interacts with torrents and remove the need for shady streaming sites which are so reliant on file mirrors (which fail regularly). Our goals consist of open access to torrents without needing any applications or addons installed and without having to worry about if the file you're about to access is safe or broken or incorrectly labeled.
Their project involves a wallet with built in torrent tracker functionality, chatrooms and what amounts to mining consisting of seeding resources. My initial impression is that they are trying to create a crypto based program similar to kazaa or limewire (they specifically state those two applications in their OP). Users wanting or not wanting that to be a reality is up to the masses, not us. My concern is that it retains all the 'problems' of traditional file sharing programs by requiring a specific wallet application in order to be used. I'll leave my comparison at that as it would be easy to misconstrue my statements as trash talking potential competition. I feel there is room for both projects and feel that we are attempting to accomplish very different goals.
