Hi,
I had a kind of same thoughts for the Peersm project at the begining,
but it can not fly.
The Tor network is far too small for P2P applications and you (we) are
not addressing the same threat at all, so even if you expand it I don't
see the rationale of doing such.
Therefore, the idea

Nope, sorry, Tor is a multihop network. The cost to the net is about 7
times (hops) your own usage, so you will never be able to "stream"

No, I would not advise this, whatever Helder's arguments are, this can
