I can't follow the logic here. How does this detect other announcers?

I think this would be an even better joke if the site was a setup for plausible deniability for piracy.

"I didn't share that! It was on infohash.lol first!"

Does anybody know what they are using in the browser to perform DHT?

In theory this could be used to share torrent links by a different reference (ideally you could also add an anchor too). Somebody else could have a page that takes keywords and points you to pages hosted on the site.

> There is no validation that an infohash corresponds to a real torrent—any client can announce anything. Many crawlers and indexers continuously pick random or sequential infohashes and announce themselves so they can later detect other announcers, and malicious clients or poorly written bots can spam the network with anything they like.

There are also valid clients for completely unrelated protocols using the BitTorrent DHT to find each other.
