Not sure if you still update the list, but I'd like to propose adding PeerLinks to it!

Thanks for compiling the list in its current form anyway.

Sweet project; I’m definitely going to take a dive down this particular rabbit hole and play around with this when I get home. See what I can do about implementing aspects of this into my ongoing attempt at creating a user-friendly/configuration free and well designed website and mobile UI/native mobile app(s) of a site that combines the basic feature of livestreaming video (1-to-many) with audience chat, donations, live feedback, etc. Basically the core functionality of twitch or a livestream on YouTube, but made utilizing the most decentralization/anonymizing (if desired) features possible as well as offloading any and all possible workloads to third party resources or split amongst audience members/incentivized volunteer higher volume peer nodes in exchange for payment of some sort. Anything I can do to minimize the insane crush that seems to inevitably occur: even a livestream I’ve served of 2200-2500 live, concurrent viewers watching a stream at 720p source quality during one of my test runs has my (pretty powerful, at least I thought so) dedicated server under insane load. IMO the only way that we are going to see pretty much any of these decentralized sites particularly social media ones take off with the larger general public, is with proper implementation of video. Especially live streaming video. It’s such a huge part of any social site nowadays and I don’t see that changing or going away.

Sorry for the essay.
