Right, it's inept to think that the Tor network will ever scale to 1M 
nodes or more and to build something on top of it based  on this 
assumption, the Tor network is not done for this.

But it's not inept to use the Tor protocol for a P2P network, assuming 
that you don't have to reuse the very same Tor network concepts, most of 
them do not apply as explained in [1]

And it's not inept to think that you can have all this inside your 
browser, it's already there and secured (Peersm project [2])

And no, you do not necessarily need a relay router (Peersm project again).
