ZeroNet: Decentralizing websites

While looking in to Project Maelstrom (it seems dead) i came across an article that mentioned another project called ZeroNet. Same principle, its goal is to create a decentralized web where visitors store and serve web content using the bit torrent protocol. One big difference i read though is that ZeroNet allows for realtime dynamic updating of web content Allowing a forum or live chat to work. From what i recall this wasn't possible in Maelstrom. Its also mentioned that it uses Bitcoin cryptography which could also lead to bitcoin intergration in the future. People can make payments directly to a web address.

I'm not glad Maelstrom is dead or anything, but I am glad the alternative that lets you use it in other browsers is the one that survived.
Are there any interesting sites up on it yet?

So I discovered this b/c of the recent censorship debacle. It is cool tech but it seems about as dead as this thread lol. Any suject matter experts on it?

Closed for necro. If you would like to continue the discussion please open a new thread. Thank you
