Have we considered just leaving that problem to a different protocol such a=
s
BitTorrent? Offering up a few GB of storage capacity is a nice idea but it
means we would soon have to add structure to the network to allow nodes to =
find
each other to actually get that data. BitTorrent already has that issue tho=
ught
through carefully with it's DHT support.

What are the logistics of either integrating a DHT capable BitTorrent clien=
t,
or just calling out to some library? We could still use the Bitcoin network=
 to
bootstrap the BitTorrent DHT.
