The first step would be to create a protocol that takes the idea of bitswap from Protocol Labs, and makes the exchange sat for kb instead of kb for kb. Filecoin just created silos with a high barrier to entry, while IPFS is supposed to work p2p. What's missing is the economic incentive for the Distributed Hash Tables to gather and reveal the file storage locations quickly, and stop losing data from garbage cleanup that wipes away 70% of all content within a week.

How does a global sat/kb get set? Shouldn't market dynamics be allowed to play out like a bidding system?
Yes, price discovery needs to happen naturally. But in order for price discovery to happen, there first needs to be liquidity. 1 sat for 1 kb is just a test case for illustration of the concept, not a locked market price.
Im thinking of doing an experiment where i rent out a raspberry pi worth of server space on shopstr.store via yggdrasil, could even provide a sock5 proxy with limited bandwidth for package installation and further hosting and stuff 🤔
