offline cluster based sync


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I'm sure its been thought of but what if with BT sync everyone could dedicate some hard drive space to be used as a mediator between 2 peers so that if the receiving end is offline your file would be split up, encrypted and stored across multiple nodes for a while until the receiver comes online and downloads it.

To be part of the system you could only use 1/3rd the space as you offer others on the network. This would be because any file would need to be duplicated 3 or more times to make sure enough nodes are online when the receiving party comes online.

And your files stay on the network max 1 week while they wait for the recipient to come online.

Not sure if it would work or not.

Just a thought.
