I do agree mastering the user-server first was a wise strategy but it’s getting out of control. The things here are resembling web2.0 products exactly the way they’re. I just don’t get how keep pushing web2 tech can lean towards decentralization.

merkle trees, and merkle dags, etc, also have the same topology as packet switched networks, and the data size requirement increase for the number of pieces exactly corresponds with the message count required for a message broadcast over a network. it's simply not possible to make it scale without changing the propagataion strategy, in both cases.
