    The DHT exists and is already a fully distributed system.

    Even without the DHT, there is no centralization in Bittorrent that would lend itself to federation. Anyone with a complete copy of the data can already start their own tracker.

    Do you perhaps mean a federated content index that links to torrents or magnet URIs?

    we’re trying to make a federated bittorrent tracker, in the short term as an emergency information preservation vessel to avoid a fascist memoryhole, in the long term as a merger between the lessons of the federated and pirate web:

    Dunno about you all, but I think “the lessons of the federated and pirate web” sounds intriguing at least.
