I think we need a general LBRY thread since some of the stuff I'm finding isn't even directly related to Ethan.
However, while going through some of their code I happened to find that they have an integrated wallet application called "Torba", presumably named after Josh's favorite social network magnate Andrew Torba, who got his start in cryptocurrency.

The active LBRY developers all worked on Torba:

As of a year ago, Torba has been fully subsumed into the core LBRY code. Imagine naming a core product for the provision of financial services after Andrew "TRANNY DEMON HACKERS" Torba!![]()
Torba is apparently Turkish for "bag". I checked Google Translate thinking it would have been a Greek word, but apparently not. Wallet and bag are similar enough that I think it's just a coincidence.
As a side note, Borsa is a common Italian last name which also directly translates to "bag". Not sure what it is with Meds choosing that as a surname, but I guess it's a thing.
