Feature request (Sharing with strangers - majority voting):
I would like the possibility of sharing folders with people I do not know, but without the risk of storing illegal or malicious content on my machine after I hand over the shared key to strangers. The main purpose is to always have files available where ever I am, with high bandwidth and in a reliable way.
Suggestion:
Would it be possible to add "majority voting" for every upload and deletion?
For instance (one way of doing it):
When I create a new "share" I would be able to select how votes should be decided.
Only people who can vote will be able to upload/delete files in the share.
Options:
o Voting time: [1, 7, 30] days
o Minimum votes: [70] %
o Asked to vote: first [100] people/computers who joined the share
If a computer is not active for 1 week, it will loose it's voting capability and another computer will be selected randomly. If a user decides he wants to give up his voting power, the power is transferred to another computer.
Potential issues:
Voting algoritms are difficult to build, especially when they are not controlled by a centralised component. In my case, I would be fine with having this feature running on servers controlled by BitTorrent.
Optional:
I would like to be able to automatically remove a share in the case that a vote result is the opposite of my vote.
