A concept for a decentralized torrent site to download and upload compressed ROM files and emulators (when practical). Because the industry gigants are the enemy.

This doesn't do much for anyone who doesn't know what the hell this is about. I recognize napster and piratebay, but have no idea what they have to do with a youtube link and whatever other links you have there.

Why would you not just link to the Piracy Megawiki if you're trying to get new people into piracy?

Edit: apologies, I didn't clock the community at first. It's still not straightforward about what this is about at all. And I don't think anyone is going to recognize the rentry logo.

Why would you design a poster to need to be flipped over too? Makes it harder to scan the QR code.

You are right, it's not a poster, more like a piece of paper left behind on top of a table or chair.

Again, this is "A side project with a limited budget".

Still thinking how to do en ELI5 that doesn't sound too silly, "vimms lair with torrents" is definetly one.
