<br />
I'm the main developer of Bitcloud, and we are planning to create a<br />
global cloud storage system based on your ideas.<br />
<br />
The proposed modifications, written by Dr-Syn (one of the founders) to<br />
your system are here:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://github.com/wetube/bitcloud/blob/master/overview.org" target="_blank">https://github.com/wetube/bitcloud/blob/master/overview.org</a><br />
<br />
After Bitcloud, we plan to create DAOs (Distributed Application<br />
Organizations), like Wetube, that are going to serve multimedia files<br />
globally and will have their own currency or stock.<br />
<br />
The protocol itself will be free of any organization, as we plan to<br />
replace the entire way in which Internet is structured right now.<br />
<br />
I'd like to know if any of you guys are interested in helping us in some<br />
way. We got a lot of attention from the media the last days and have<br />
many developers ready to program, once of course we can finish the design.<br />
We can add any of you interested to the core team of Bitcloud.<br />
<br />
Finally we are going to do a donation campaign that we think it is going<br />
to be a success, taking in count that we have been linked in some major<br />
news site like the BBC and we have a genius in the marketing department<br />

We have open a forum that you can check here, with many interesting<br />
technical threads:<br />

And we are also discussing some ideas in:<br />

For any doubts or concerns you can answer to me directly or to the list,<br />
if the moderators don't have any inconvenience.<br />

Best regards,<br />
