  • That was one way I was thinking to handle this. As I don’t have friends, I had to think of some other ones.

    One way to confirm participation is to require participants to regularly calculate and send to other hosts hashes of stored chunks + random strings that were generated by the chunk owner in advance and were unknown to the peer before a given point in time. They would confirm to the network they still have the file daily, if they won’t verify it for 14 days other peers would be liberated from an obligation to store files they uploaded.




  • I don’t think I changed anything relevant in the bios, I’m always quite careful with changing things there. Maybe I changed boot order to test live USBs a couple times. Reboots are frequent due to system crashes.

    Also also, is it possible you have two disks, and grub is on one and your data is on the other? Again, kinda weird question, but it’s a kinda weird situation…

    No, only one drive. I tried removing this drive, and it failed to get to GRUB. Plus, the rescue mode on Windows partition on the same drive that boots sees it’s own 200 GB of files, they are definitely can’t be anywhere but on 512 GB SSD.
