Services from lunar-linux.org may be disrupted

[Gaetano Cajetan]

Not that this would be feasible right now, but keep in mind many of the 
decentralized data storage solutions that are coming out. Many of these 
ideas were inspired out of the P2P protocol and the cryptographic 
blockchain (proof of work method) of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Many of these projects are in alpha stage, but it could be a possible 
solution in the near future for your hosting needs. Once it matures a 
bit more, it might be a possibility.

Now if anyone was wondering which projects I am talking about here are a 
few of the alpha stage projects currently working for something like 
that. There are some other projects which I know are working on 
something similar, but hey it looks like there is hope to lower the bar 
of entry. This could mean that users could simply donate free unused 
space from their hard drives to help whatever projects they are 
interested in helping out (or for their own data etc...).
