a decentralized cloudflare will be hard. I don't have any good ideas.
maybe we need to change our perspective on things, switch to content-addressability vs location (See ICN[1]). Then any switch could be a potential CDN.

What's cool with this setup: you can say "give me a bitcoin block with this hash". And any node on your network could potentially answer this without having to even leave your network.
This could be a part of the network stack itself. How neat would that be?
IPFS does look kind of interesting, i'[ve heard of it a few times but never looked deeply into it
do you know of any FOSS projects, linux distros, etc that (also) host their websites, downloads there?
i guess for most intents and purposes torrents already fill the 'distributed file distribution' niche
@orionwl @jb55 Isn't that pretty much what IPFS is? Even Cloudflare themselves are experimenting with that: https://www.cloudflare.com/distributed-web-gateway/
