Hello Christopher,

Decentralized storage as an idea looks interesting. I am researching about =
similar things for one of my Bitcoin project. Although an implementation or=
 proof of concept code in the BIP would have been better. Also since this i=
nvolves LN, maybe it can just be a LN project instead of BIP? Not the best =
person to comment on what can be a BIP.

Few links that you may find interesting:

https://github.com/bkiac/tarnhelm

https://github.com/ElementsProject/filebazaar

The kind of decentralized storage that I think can be helpful for Bitcoin p=
rojects:

1.Uses torrents for files and communication required (with Tor)

2.Easy to use API to save, read, edit etc. something in a Bitcoin project u=
sing torrents. Only involve lightning network and payments when spamming ca=
n be an issue. For example: If a developer wants users to pay for every P2P=
 offer they create using a DEX protocol.

Projects that are exploring such options:=C2=A0https://github.com/JoinMarke=
t-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/issues/415
