  1. I believe that the tracker and DHT servers belong to Bittorrent.

    There is no "DHT server". The D in DHT stands for Distributed.

    DHT nodes are run by basically everyone that uses DHT in sync.

    Neither the tracker nor any node in the DHT actually knows what files you have stored in the secrets. They ONLY have the secret's identifier code and a list of IP+port combinations running on the identifier.

  2. There are no physical limits imposed by Sync on the number of devices that can connect using the same secret, but due to the nature of how decentralized P2P networks work, not all devices will necessarily be connected to all other devices simultaneously.
    So, if it's true, I believe that each devices can only see a maximum of 50 devices each.

     

    Perhaps, but if you have more than 50 devices on a given secret, it's likely that you will end up with an interconnected blob of peers that will still be able to maintain sync beyond the 50 connection per node limit in much the same way that normal bittorrent clients do.
