Is this like Popcorn Time for Wikipedia?

I think Bittorrent is also working on a similar project for the whole web, called Maelstrom:

Closed source?

Seems like bittorrent foundation has been doing a lot of closed work source ever since bittorrent has been used across the world and they got very little money out of it.

Just my drive by judgement.

I think so, yes.

I wouldn't want something like this to be closed source. It's very important that the security of the decentralization can be validated.

And in these NSA times it's even more important.

If the concept works well, an open source variant is sure to be created precisely for this reason.
