Bitcoin Forum

We should consider seeding the contents of the forum on torrent.
What do you reckon? Just as a precaution...

Why? What are you afraid of?

to help the admin, cause he doesn't keep a backup, right?  ::)

No, I was thinking that he can be put down just like megaupload was :o
I know it is quite different but still would be a precaution.

Plenty of people already have encrypted backups of the forum, no need to create a torrent for it.  Plus do you want to update your torrent once a week anyways?

torrents are based on hashes so they don't update

Maybe he means the OP would have to make a new torrent all the time.

A new torrent every year I suggest.

Thanks for clarifying, because that is what I meant.

...but there's no imminent threat to bitcointalk, nor is there a reason to believe there will be an imminent threat. Why should we expend time and energy to prevent a threat that doesn't exist?

I disagree. theymos is getting closer to mating age, and might completely discard this whole thing once it happens.
This might look like a troll, but it isn't, nor is it a personal attack towards theymos, which I respect.
This is just a legit concern.

OP if you want to spend your time and energy, nobody is stopping you :D

Don't worry, the NSA has backups.

archive.org has "backups" as well, as do every major search engine.

Cool, let's just ask Google, the NSA or archive.org for the forum content, when theymos falls in love and goes mental. :D

I'm sure they'll hand those over if you ask nicely.

we can get a 90% redacted version if we file a FOIA request :P
