Do you think you could successfully merge VTR with a joystream fork? If the VTR devs fail?
I'm not interested in any of that. The VTR devs look to have a far superior implementation vs. Joystream, if they are going to run a straight implementation of a BitTorrent client.
1000 times better.
Joystream is going to fail badly unless they introduce some payment hubs to keep users from spamming the Bitcoin blockchain with micro-transactions. At the current cost of BTC fees, Joystream is dead in the water. You would need to be buying an mp3 file for about $5 just in fees.
vTorrent is the only game in town.
