just before they jump in, i might continue reasoning: because we are in the web, and you cannot trust anyone in the web: eve is everywhere. this means, unless you have a certain web of trust that certifies that you can rely on someone, you cannot rely on anyone else for serving your data. you might have a certain amount of trust in "the network" meaning that if *a lot* of people say they can serve your file you might trust that, but its easy as eve to set up a lot of malicious nodes.

this brings me to the following conclusion: as you cannot trust anyone here, this essentially transforms IPFS into a centralized network -- with the opportunity that anyone could pre-load, cache and provide information, but noone *has* to, so noone *will* (eventually, speaking economically. good people excepted, but we cannot work with the assumption that everyone is good.)

this also partially eliminates archive purposes. as long as noone is really interested in storing your website (and for archiving purposes: as long as not many people are really interested in storing your data), especially for a long time, this makes you the almost sole provider of your data. this means, once your node goes down, there goes a part of the internet history.

next announcement to tackle: p2p delivery and using the upstream of many people. this, actually, sounds like a cool idea. but as far as i thought this through, it has a bunch of problems: first of all, bandwidth is expensive. certainly not everywhere, but in most areas bandwidth is expensive and not a common good of "everyone has it but noone uses it". following the same economic reasoning as above, this leads me to the conclusion, that for most people this wont work.

and lastly: availability "with or without internet backbone connectivity". thats an especially large term goal. yes. if there is a huge network and our current amount of information, this would work. might work. but as seen in history, the amount of data increased exponentially in time AND network size. so a huge network (or multiple networks that are just occasionally connected, think interplanetary), this wouldnt work out anymore, one does not simply preload the entire web (or the intereesting parts of the web). thats part of the web idea
