12 is a superior highly composite number, which means it's easier to divide without running into fractions or decimals.

It does exist, see qbitorrent and similar apps. Torrents already fill the usecase you've defined: decentralized sharing of arbitrary files. The main problems being the central exchange and the need for seeders.

The bigger the central exchange (torrent tracker) the more susceptible you are to both internal and external threats, but you need to be big because bigger means more seeders and more content.

I expected this to be a satirical article for pumped hydro.

Yeah, that's why they want change.

I'm glad I'm not the only person to immediately think of the Joywire from RimWorld.

There's only two videos of it on the company website and they're both rendered. Doesn't really inspire confidence that their product is actually ready to market.
