Tribler is a Bittorrent-compatible alternative to Youtube, aiming to protect privacy, build trust, and reward content creators directly. The project, started in 2005 at Delft University, involves a robust self-organizing Peer-to-Peer system with a unique token economy, including rewards for Tor-like relaying and hidden seeding. Tribler offers fast search, anonymous downloads, and a micro-economy without banks, advertisers, or government control. The project, supported by Harvard University, has over 2 million users and ambitious goals to reinvent media and money. The revolutionary approach focuses on trust, fairness, equality, and self-governance in the digital age.
