Comment binary-repository (Score 1) 241

I spotted that there are no good solutions for this currently in Linux land so I'm tackling this issue right now via a NodeJS Streams / GPG / AWS S3 project that is [open source on GitHub](https://github.com/forbesmyester/binary-repository). It's not complete yet by any means but it has good test coverage and is getting close to having a functioning command line app.

It is primarily designed for MP3 / Photo collections and similar use cases.

BT have been doing this for years with their home hubs, with BT FON. It's enabled by default, but you can disable it, although you have to disable it on their account management site, and they then tell the router to disable it (sounds a bit wierd to do it that way, but there you go). I use my own router though, and BT are happy for me to do so, which stops any potential issues anyway.

It's not __quite__ there yet (needs a bit more time to get fully stable on Windows), but Git Annex is designed for this job and if you use direct mode it works wonderfully well. It automatically moves binaries around between repositories and because it's Git based you can get any file that was stored in the repository, at any time.

True BitCoins are very volatile at the moment... But the only reason you think USD is stable is because you are inside the USA. All currencies are very volatile. The big point you are missing is that a currency is worth what people will sell for it as much as an item is worth what people will pay for it.
