Maybe a barter(yeah, i know it's kind of myth) system where you store something for other person and other person, maybe some other - store it for you. Involving Kind of Ratio in torrents. Kind of currency by that, ofc.

But, anyway - the user would pay forward to see if that new reality could really emerge for him or he'd be a lonely but proud self-hoster. And, anyway, the user would pay (even so HDDs space and unlimited Internet is so cheap now in many places, there are other places ofc) to sustain such a structure, but, anyway - the users are paying to support corporations, pay with billions, actually. Maybe i'd need to add the Distributed (Grid) Computing to the scheme, maybe a potential of Free Search, maybe other goods, but finally the ratio of acceptance would be here and such a structures would up-rise, even so they would not be so simple as torrents. That's the hope, ofc. > I have thought pretty extensively about exactly this sort of system, and I'm > happy to share more detail if anyone is interested. I'd be happy to research it, if it is for Free :) _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
