I'd like to build something on top, but would very much prefer if the crypto primitives are already taken care of.

I think filecoin does something similar where you more or less get paid to provide merkle inclusion proofs.

I’ve been thinking about building a “pay for file storage with lightning” system using Carbonado because it uses bao hashing under the hood so it’s already in a hash tree. That might be the way to go.

Yep would be better indeed to incentivize through real hard money rather than shitcoining even if the initial idea of a native currency for such a network could make sense at first. But as all centralized project it has been done badly and I think Bitcoin will fix it eventually. There may be a way to monetized empty disk space, as excess of energy is monetized by mining.
