Bitcloud is a platform supporting a universal protocol with the intent to provide a massive distributed filesystem, or “virtual hard disk”, that can store data encrypted and signed across all connected Nodes, protect privacy, and guarantee quality of service (QoS).
The easiest way to understand Bitcloud may be to think of it as a virtual storage device, with data stored on the Internet in a distributed fashion, and globally available with only those restrictions that each participant sets for the data they upload.
Bitcloud does not compete against i2p and Tor because it is a storage system. Bitcloud is intended to be close to the OSI Layer 5 level with some escrow capabilities, while i2p and Tor are more close to OSI Layer 4.
In fact, Bitcloud will include compatibility with Tor, and DAs using the Bitcloud platform can route Bitcloud data through Tor instead of using regular IP.
Bitcloud is designed to integrate with future protocols like meshnetworking protocols.
A current project closer in nature to Bitcloud is Tahoe-LAFS. In fact, we can consider Bitcloud a potential improvement over Tahoe, making the platform and its data universally available and scalable up to millions of connections. Most importantly, Bitcloud provides the mechanisms for participants to trade in bandwidth and storage services, with guaranteed quality of service.

..and what? Why is it here?!
these are topics that have been discussed with regards to elgg. no-one i spoke with about these topics knew when we were discussing these ideas - that the projects i linked here were already being evolved.
connecting elgg with this type of infrastructure is, to me, a logical evolution for many reasons. i shared these links here so that those who are interested in the topic will know of their existence.
