It's not about liking something or being friends or not; the tone in this forum is just generally pretty direct and honest. Something I really appreciate.

TL;DR: I don't see why you wouldn't just implement your idea as an addition to a Torrent system or as a whole new Torrent system. Just like Bittorrent, except that 'storage nodes' can set a price per GB and get paid monthly in some (or maybe even one of a few selectable) existing cryptocurrencies. To me, that sounds like an actually useful and realistic product. Tying it too much into a (existing or not) blockchain or cryptocurrency client seems to make less sense than tying it into a decentralized file hosting client.
