Hi dev team!
Have you considered the way to deal with attack, where an attacker would request to archive a huge number of random & useless pages?
Several bots could make thousands of such requests per second, thus making the archain "memory" full of useless garbage.
Is there any mechanism in place to prevent it?

Hi!
Thank you for a good question. That attacker will be required to pay for at least 2 weeks of storage of those files. So his "attack" will be kind of very beneficial for hosts and miners and us. We will also limit the minimum file size and maybe implement other limitations, but specifics on this will be decided when we have statistics on alpha and beta tests.
