I finally forced myself to go over [Storej's white paper](
https://www.storj.io/documents/storj-sustainability-whitepaper.pdf) to understand how they're achieving such a high level of availability using just consumer-grade hard drives scattered across people's living rooms. It all boils down to [Reed–Solomon erasure coding](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%E2%80%93Solomon_error_correction). You distribute 80 chunks, but in reality you only need 29 to reconstruct the complete data. It would be amazing to have the same or similar error correction implemented into Blossom.
I could see scenarios where I would happily offer 30GB of data storage on my blossom server to have 10GB of distributed, reliable and resilient data across multiple blossom servers.
hzrd149 (nprofile…wj75) do you think we can have something like that in blossom soon or are there pitfalls I didn't considered?
