Peer-to-peer (p2p) technology is one of the oldest in the world. Everything that happens without the participation of a third party (or with its minimal participation) is a p2p interaction. Every day, people come across this approach: buying products in a store, paperwork without a broker, renting a car directly is all a p2p interaction. As a result, it saves your time and material resources.
Alfacast uses p2p technology in the most efficient way. There are systems in which a third party (server) is directly involved in the user discovery process or something else. Our system does not use intermediate servers – we consider this approach morally outdated. We designed our system in order to minimize the influence of a third party on alfacast.
