@Toxa Ditto #Autonomi and should avoid targeting of those hosting the data.

@happyborg The more the merrier. Not sure how your system hides identity of the data hosts. Is there a high-level overview of #Autonomi architecture? And maybe perhaps comparison table to #IPFS ?

@Toxa There are no files on hosts (nodes).

When you upload a file it is broken into chunks which are then encrypted before they are uploaded to the nodes which look after them. If you run a node, all you see are lots of random encrypted chunks, so you don't know what the content is.

When a file is decrypted, someone with access needs the 'datamap' for the file (a list of its chunks) which are retrieved by the client device using content addressing, and decrypted on the client.

@happyborg sounds like DHT.
