lmao

Looks like TRON is not a shitcoin anymore.

Watch out, Sia, Maidsafe, Storj and Filecoin!

>>932457 (OP)

There's still people who use bittorrent?

>>932563

Can we get this anon a cookie

>>932563

Bittorrent.torrent

WinRar.rar

unzip.zip

>>932565

Why wouldn't you use a protocol that is mostly used in locally installed software instead of a streaming video flux in a browser ?

>>932602

You are aware that work to add sha256 was made ?

Also hash methods are only about file integrity it's not a method that can be certify that it wasn't tampered/replaced with (see gpg signatures for that in the gentoo wiki).

>>932637

>You are aware that work to add sha256 was made ?

Yes. But nobody uses it.

>Also hash methods are only about file integrity it's not a method that can be certify that it wasn't tampered/replaced with

Wrong. Cryptographically secure hash functions do certify that the data wasn't tampered with.

>>932639

Any non-shit torrent tracker contributor lists sha256 hashes of files in description.

>certify that the data wasn't tampered with

They only certify it wasn't tampered or damaged in transaction between you and server/peer/someone you got the hash from in the first place, they do not prove the file's authenticity unless they're signed by the author's key which you got from him in person or the author gave you the hashes in person.

Speaking of hash functions, here's what I saved years ago for windows 7 iso:

File: Win7_Pro_SP1_English_x64.iso

CRC-32: ad44db36

Let's hope no cianigger bit-flipping space rays touched my hard drives.

>>932647

>in description

Meanwhile the protocol still uses an insecure hash function.

>they do not prove the file's authenticity

>authenticity

You didn't say that though.

>>932649

tampered/replaced = not authentic

>>932649

>implying anyone wants to associate files to an identity (if you release shady shit you don't wanna tie things to an identifiable signature; also it's like posting with a trip)

>implying said signature would mean anything by itself (signatures by themselves don't guarantee any authenticity; any faggot can grab a rip of something, add malware, and sign it themselves)

>implying anyone would want to host a repository storing identities (yeah a repository of pirates' public keys totally won't get taken down by the media and publishing industry kikes)

>implying if said repository existed, it could be trusted (keys could be changed one day to help set up a honeypot at the request of law enforcement)

>>932668

I'm implying none of those.

>>932672

Shit I don't know who I was replying to. Must have been a stroke of autism.

Anyway, what I was saying is for establishing authenticity, uploaders signing releases will hardly ever be more helpful than a hash (especially a file hash from a legit source).

>>932457 (OP)

Fucking block chain people.

While I'm here, buy BAT and download Brave.

>neocities

are you 12 years old? or did i go back in time to 1996?

>>932767

geoshitties was an entirely different thing anon

>>932809

its still very common tho. i see lots of utorrent users in my peer list every day

>>932830

Well, if they lapped up ads, IE bars and 'bundled partner software' for a decade; they won't have problem with couple little miners.

Or they use antique version from around 2007.

>>932854

2011 actually

>>932920

Welcome to globalism. Between the printing press and the purchase, that money was earned by nobody.

If you use BitTorrent or a new version of uTorrent you should be kicked off the internet.

>>932563

STOP RIGHT THERE PIRATE

>>933451

BitTorrent is a file transfer protocol written for distributing large binaries in low-latency situations or greater. µTorrent is a proprietary client for the BitTorrent protocol.

>>932457 (OP)

What the fuck is BitTorrent? That reference client or whatever which nobody ever used?

>all this autistic debate over hashes

if bittorrent used secure hashes (instead of sha1) they'd only allow you to verify that the files described in the torrent file are the ones you received from your peers, end of story. this means if a "secure" HTTPS website served you a bittorrent file, you'd be sure you got the files the website intended you to have
