    Everyone can just run a little server in their closet or whatever.

    I’m not trusting the average person to not let it turn into a botnet.

      People already have phones that can get turned into botnets so I don’t think it’s a new problem.

      Hell, just have them host services on the phone with peer to peer networking.
