Hey ptrk, Good idea. I think Tony would want to see a concrete plan for the distribution of bytes to participants. Is there a fixed amount of bytes given away per time period, with the amount everyone receives being pro-rated by contributions? Or does every registered participant get a fixed amount per month? How to prevent people from joining multiple times and exploiting the distribution method (maybe only real name attestation users can participate)?

If this is pursued I might suggest that only accounts that were already registered as of this date are eligible, and each account gets a fixed amount of bytes regardless of contribution size as long as they meet a minimum threshold. This way the distribution couldn't be exploited. It is unlikely that the people who are already participating have already set up multiple accounts. And Tony does want to bring in new people into the network who aren't already plugged in (a fact that some here have a hard time accepting because it means dilution of their positions).
