Content Distribution

The distribution of content over P2P networks has two main problems. The first involves download speeds: retrieving files from DHT or traditionally distributed peer-to-peer storage systems is too slow. In particular, in a graphical application such as Privateland, users will be at a disadvantage if they use a system that does not load the experience quickly. The second issue involves availability: ensuring that content is adequately distributed across the network without loss. IPFS and the forthcoming File Coin protocol are tackling this issue and we look forward to when they are ready for production.
