other author here, no ICO investments. We're actually working for many years on a similar system, non-profit non-ICO based. We know this scientific area a bit (see my other comment).

Hi Jay! Are you guys planning to take advantage/contribute of/to the libp2p project (https://github.com/libp2p)? Looks to me that some of the introduced standards/formats (e.g. multihash, multiaddr) could be adopted. This again would lead to an increased significance of libp2p. Regards, Marc
