Thanks for sharing these ideas! I agree that P2P cloud storage is fascinating.
To go from idea to implementation is quite a lot of work though. We're not currently planning on working on this for Ubuntu 10.10 - you can see the topics that were discussed at the recent Ubuntu Developer Summit here: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+specs?searchtext=%22desktop-maverick-ubuntu-one%22 Keep on sending in your ideas, we definitely read everything that comes into the ubuntuone-users list.
