[Blocks-development] other similar 'sharing' systems

This looks to work on a similar level. I thought it would be worth
mentioning since it's gone into 'beta' today. 

It doesn't appear to have the same sort of allowances for anonymity, but the
concept to avoid "the tragedy of the commons" seems to be a valid concept.
Obviously it doesn't fit in with blocks, but some of the resource sharing
ideas I like, and in fact, thought blocks itself did to an extent.

I don't like the "8 chunks" idea that they use, as it seems to be awfully
limiting. Large files would make for really large chunks.

The one thing that I thought to be interesting is the specialized
applications idea. Not every host on the network serves content the same
way. Some serve it directly, some serve the metadata and some just act to
relay it. Maybe this is an idea we could explore more.

I'll be thinking about it today and see if I can come up with anything
useful for discussion later or on irc.
