BlockHouse: Blockchain-based Distributed Storehouse System
Abstract
We propose in this paper BlockHouse, a decentralized/P2P storage system fully based on private blockchains. Each participant can rent his unused storage in order to host data of other members. This system uses a dual Smart Contract and Proof of Retrievability system to automatically check at a fixed frequency if the file is still hosted. In addition to transparency, the blockchain allows a better integration with all payments associated to this type of system ( regular payments, sequestration to ensure good behaviors of users, ...). Except the data transferred between the client and the server, all the actions go through a smart contract in the blockchain in order to log, pay and secure the entire storage process.
