Make as many copies of data to fill all the available space by vaults and make copies all over the world

The idea of sacrificial data is not new but the idea that the network would always be full is new and I think it’s pretty interesting

Mentioned briefly during our sacrificial chunk discussion.

@jlpell

I think the notion of spare or “free space” in the network is something that should be shied away from, (just like the notion of free time ) In other words, a network with lot’s of free space is a network that is not maximizing its use of available resources. Instead, why not use this excess capacity by filling it up with many sacrificial chunks for maximum redundancy rather than special “proofs” or other objects whose only purpose is to check free space

However, you raise an interesting point @mav about simple and efficient routing in the case of chunk maximalism.
