The All The Music project is something like that, but for melodies. They created all possible melodies of a 7 note diatonic scale and wrote them to disk as MIDI files, copyrighting them in the process. The melodies were dedicated to the Creative Commons Zero so that people could freely use them without worrying about being sued by someone else who had used that melody previously.
Does anybody know what they are using in the browser to perform DHT?
In theory this could be used to share torrent links by a different reference (ideally you could also add an anchor too). Somebody else could have a page that takes keywords and points you to pages hosted on the site.
> There is no validation that an infohash corresponds to a real torrent—any client can announce anything. Many crawlers and indexers continuously pick random or sequential infohashes and announce themselves so they can later detect other announcers, and malicious clients or poorly written bots can spam the network with anything they like.
There are also valid clients for completely unrelated protocols using the BitTorrent DHT to find each other.
I don't understand why so many people seem so fascinated by constructions like the library of Babel. Yes it contains the answers to all your questions, but there are some significant drawbacks.
* It has more wrong information than right information, with no way to tell the difference.
* If you had an oracle that could tell you how to get to the book you need, the navigation instructions to get to the book will be at least as long as the book, on average.

Only if the oracle has all books that could possibly exist. If you're trying to find a book that already exists, that set is infinitely smaller.
For a more practical version (containing only infohashes that are observed on the dht) there is bitmagnet [1]. No public instances though, you have to self-host

[ 2.8 ms ] story [ 39.7 ms ] threadI can't follow the logic here. How does this detect other announcers?
"I didn't share that! It was on infohash.lol first!"

I made something similar a while ago, the Hdd of Babel [2], which contains all possible files(*) , and wrote down some thoughts on it [3].
I really like how it makes us think about the nature of information.
