Bitcloud is going to be based on Tahoe-LAFS

[David Irvine]

It's all interesting, for a private network though can you explain some of
the docs a bit more, for instance what does this mean

* Accounting for individual downloads of content means charging for content
becomes trivial to implement

I don't understand, will you charge for downloads or content ? Or do you
mean the network takes a charge and repays this with services?

Some early indications of actual design, programming language etc. would
help everyone help you a bit I think. Having developers ready may require a
lot of detailed implementation guidelines or possibly very close
management.

Can you explain the business model as well, if you have a marketing person,
is there a revenue model and or company involved?

Hope these questions help and not hinder. It's all very fast and I think
some more info would help us all. I am also keen to know how the
integration with bitcoin is envisaged, will the blockchain be affected at
all?
