What is web2web?

I'm preparing a document about that. In short: It allows "decentrally hosted" and uncensorable websites. Publishers save a torrent hash of their content in the blockchain and upload the content as a Torrent. The readers must load a "bootstrap page" in their browser where they enter the Slimcoin address of the user who saved the content and it will search automatically for the torrent hash and display the content.

The cool things about it - and its advantages to similar approaches like Maidsafe, Steemit et al:

- You don't need additional software to read the pages, only the bootstrap page and a standard browser, not even a browser extension (to read, you also don't need a Slimcoin client). The bootstrap page can be distributed on thousands of websites, via torrent, email etc..
- It doesn't bloat the blockchain (like in Steemit, for example), because only hashes are stored on the blockchain, not the complete content - the content lives on the Torrent network.
- Content can include any type (text, images, audio, video).
- The blockchain is your CMS, so if you update the page, it gets recorded in the blockchain, and all readers will get your updated page.
- Content cannot be censored or manipulated, as long as there is even a single Torrent user sharing it.

It is really a simple technology. It requires practically no coding effort and that's also why I'm not really "promoting" it until it's ready. The idea to use it with Slimcoin comes from Graham. I think he wanted to integrate a web2web client in the Slimcoin client that could show the contents directly, but I don't know how far he progressed with this idea.

It has also disadvantages, so no comments, forums and other user interaction is possible (it is probably possible but requires additional implementation steps). But it would be a great tool, for example, for people living in authoritarian countries to publish political blogs, or more general for anonymous blogs/pages where you don't want to be identified.

I'm not good on doing infographics (or graphics/design at all). If someone wants to help me with one about Proof of Burn, or about Web2Web, for example, I could make a very basic version (as a SVG file) and those that want can "embellish" it.

PS: Forgot to link to the original Web2Web implementation - here it is. Originally it works with Bitcoin.
