This raises two scenarios I hadn’t considered. So far, I understand:
- private storage is paid by the uploader, either with resources or Safecoin
- public storage is not just free, but the uploader is rewarded according to how much the content is accessed
Two problems:
- People encrypt data and then upload it to public shares, avoiding payment but keeping their data private
- Ethereum/Mastercoin upload data (e.g. a blockchain) to public shares that makes money for them (transaction fees), and get paid by ProjectSAFE, rather than paying for the resources they consume.
Maybe I’ve misunderstood the plan?
EDIT: Discussion of this over here
