#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent

Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

Do we really need a signal group for this? Would much rather have the torrents be uploaded to a public tracker

Rather use a messenger that didn't require my phone number like xmpp.
