If like me, some reader does not know what Swarm means, I guess it refers to =E2=80=9Chard disk of the world computer=E2=80=9D that the Ethere= um Foundation envisions. From my rough understanding, it is the way the Ethereum cryptocurrency [1] stores its blockchain. The only reference I am able to find =E2=80=93 and I have not read it at al= l =E2=80=93 is this book of 287 pages [2]: the book of Swarm (storage and communication infrastructure for self-sovereign digital society back-end stack for the decentralised web) Well, fully ignorant on this topic, I am missing how its design specifically targeting one blockchain dedicated to cryptocurrency could be adapted to share Guix susbtitutes. However, somehow, I am not convinced that Guix should introduce some mechanisms to tackle some free rider problems [3]. Could you be provide some details for helping my curiosity? 1: https://ethereum.org/en/what-is-ethereum/ 2: https://www.ethswarm.org/The-Book-of-Swarm.pdf 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-rider_problem Cheers, simon
