Sorry I have not dug too deeply, but I have some questions.

1. Are there controls (i.e. proof-of-stake) to enforce equitable and lasting storage of your items on others' machines?

2. What is the consensus model for marking peers as bad actors?

3. What are the redundancy guarantees? That is, how many nodes store my data?

4. What is the "currency" of sorts that I must "pay" in order to store a certain amount? Amount of hard disk I contribute back?

5. Why was the AGPL chosen? Surely adoption by any means, commercial or otherwise, would be welcome in a system that has equitable sharing guarantees. Now if I want to implement your spec in my choice license, I can't even read your reference implementation.

Maybe some fodder for the FAQ. If not answered later, I'll peruse the whitepaper.



proof-of-retrievability, I imagine somewhat like what Storj, Sia and Filecoin do.

zcash is the currency.
