By putting an SQLite database file (.db) inside a torrent, we can query its content -- by prioritizing pieces based on the SQL query -- and quickly peek at the content of the database without downloading it entirely.
Does anyone else see it as an issue that the decentralized website solution to databases is to create a copy of a SQLite database on every user's machine?
I agree. This is the biggest technological issue for zeronet imo. Every time there's a change to the db you need to download a whole new copy afaik. Ideally you'd use a log based store. To do this you need to fundamentally change your idea for how a website works. With a distributed log store chances are you won't have the same data as another person.
I'm following the developement of zeronet for the past 3 years. I'm not convinced that it is the final solution to the decentralized internet. A main thing that bothers me is the insane lookup-time for site with a low distribution. The same problem occurs with ipfs btw. It takes up to one minute to find a the correct node when only one node hast the content-hash.
I need to read the IPFS paper but surely there's some kind of DHT to find data?

What happened to IPFS and Filecoin?
All the stated benefits are non-issues for me:
* Uncensored
I never been censored.
* No hosting costs
I serve hundreds of thousands of users per month for something like $20.
* Always accessible
Just like hosting costs, my downtime is negligible.
Interest in decentralized web solutions seem to be on the rise. I wonder why and if they have any real world benefits for me as a publisher?
