+ Our software library, named as Storage Modules (Storm)
+ provides an alternative to traditional file-based storage.
+ Storm provides the basis for storing xanalogical data to our
system.
+ Storm stores data in *blocks*. A block is like a file but it
+ cannot be changed, and instead of a file name it is identified
by a
+ cryptographic content hash. Identifiers are
location-independent and
+ unique identifiers. We are building a Peer-to-Peer system that
+ allows you to find and download a block if *anybody* on the
Internet
+ publishes it. Currently we use distributed hash tables for
searching blocks

methods
