Storage (dist.ribut.us): Difference between revisions

One of the first services that needs to be built is a storage service.

Storage cost is per unit of storage and time. So something like $0.10/GB/month. But I'd like to take compound interest into account, so paying for a longer period up front is (sort of) cheaper. And this means that there is some price at which you can store data indefinitely.

I think the best network structure is based on 3 tiers. One tier primarily serves the resources. It's important that this tier have fast, reliable connections. The second tier manages reliability and the third tier is a sort of cold storage.

Should things be distributed by default or registered to a region?

-Storage should be decoupled. Any binary key/value store should be sufficient. The default will be local file storage. But this would make it easy to use things like Drive or Dropbox. I'd love to piggy-back off these, it would give users some of what they want, but due to the encrypted nature, the spy model wouldn't work.
