2. Who receives the PUT data? Elders or Adults?

When the client wants to store data, it asks each Elder for authorization (via proxy, I assume). Once it gets a supermajority, it sends the binary data - along with the authorizations for proof.

To whom the client sends the data? To the Elders or the Adults?

This is still current AFAIK

When someone makes a GET request, that kick starts a number of processes. First, the request is relayed to the elders in which section the chunk is stored. The elders then calculate which four adults store the chunk - the four XOR-closest to the chunk’s address - and each of those adults pass their copy of the chunk back to the elders, who then return them to the requesting client.
