Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. First clarify the market-node design, pricing model, allocation verification, speed testing, relay behavior, and replication responsibilities; done would require an agreed implementation scope and corresponding tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Market node, used for routing, LN channels are made to the market node route by both storage clients and storage providers. Storage prices rise on a per-node basis; this encourages a more even distribution of load, and incentivizes adding storage to a network in a competitive market as prices rise with demand. For instance, price should be a function of supply, and increase exponentially as a storage allocation approaches 100%.

Storage allocation can be verified by the storage provider node. Speed tests can be used between the storage provider and the storage market. Storage markets can relay data between multiple storage providers, improving replication, with replication factor managed by the storage market node itself, or replication can be performed peer to peer between storage clients and individual storage clients. The primary function of a market node is to set a market price. Otherwise, fully P2P operation can occur at a fixed price.
