So... 8 years ago some bittorrent folks came up with the magnet: URI scheme. @p{brk}
And yet I don't run across many magnet links as I browse the web. @p{par}

As I browse the web I run into exactly three URI schemes:  http, https, and mailto. @p{par}

I think a @p{(link}bitcoin mime type@p{link)} will be easier to implement and is likely to be more successful. @p{brk}
