Dear team, in whitepaper you mentioned that user will have up to 1Gb of data storage space in his smart vault. What initial capacity of storage system do you plan? It will be organized on your hardware or another way? How it will be secured and resistant to malfunctions? Will blockhain keep cyphered keys to these vaults, but not the vaults themseves?
The initial capacity depends on the total users that will host their drive space. Initially, we'll setup our own clusters to support the network during the first weeks, thus space can be added by running another host. This can be done very quickly. The goal is that the network is supported by DigiPulse hosts, that get payed (receive rewards) for hosting data. Malfunctions are avoid by using mirrors of every file, so even a 50% fallout of hosts would still make it possible to recover the files. (A handful of hosts receive the full shredded parts, all others receive minor mirrored parts of the files). Depending on the setup the user selects to release the vault, the blockchain will keep AES-256-CBC encrypted keys. The vaults themselves are also AES-256 encoded, and the user can choose to encrypt the files he uploads as well.
