Comment (by cypherpunks):

 There is a lot of awesome p2p stuff happening with WebRTC nowadays, and
 Tor Browser is left out of all of this. Is anyone working on building
 ephemeral hidden service WebRTC integration?

 https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube is one example awesome webrtc thing
 that actually does work with Tor Browser today, albeit not with webrtc,
 so, Tor users are all leeches (only able to get the video from the
 peertube instance's server, which typically has limited resources)
 Ideally TBB users could connect to eachother's onions, but, even lacking
 that, it would at least be nice of TBB users could make outbound
 connections to peers even if they can't receive inbound connections.

 PLZ CAN HAZ NICE THINGS?
