posting this so i can pin it:
what up 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:

more details when i write them
Can you name any private trackers that actually have a need for federation?
The biggest issue I personally have with BT (v1) is not being able to search for a file by its checksum. I think v2 can do this, but almost nobody uses it in my experience.
Something along the lines of being able to access seeders for dead torrents on your tracker from other trackers (with some sort of accounting for economy).
