My own p2p project, https://tahoe-lafs.org, is carefully building up toward automation to support social/economic incentives in distributed storage: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/NewAccountingDesign https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/Ostrom If we finally get there, we will then have circled back around: b" from Tahoe-LAFS's roots (its direct ancestor was Mojo Nation), b" to a stripped-down version that had no automation to help with social/economic problems and required the users to arrange all that themselves (today's Tahoe-LAFS), b" and back to a version that has automation to help people find new trading partners on the Net, track and control their transactions with them, extend special offers to their friends, and so forth (tomorrow's Tahoe-LAFS?). If our plans work out, then the resulting thing will be reliable and functional b unlike the original Mojo Nation, which never worked well enough to be valuable to users.
