BitTorrent File System (BTFS) Storage System

Would be cool if rclone could have BitTorrent File System (BTFS) as a storage system.

hello and welcome to the forum,

how do you think that is a good fit for rclone?

Currently the existing providers are centralised or DIY. BTFS renting would be akin to the PutIO provider, however BTFS would be cheaper, completely decentralised, and without a storage limit. It would also allow app developers to use say rclone mount to easily mount BTFS and use it for storage on their application.

BTFS can use FUSE to mount its own storage and then use any command line or gui tool designed for local.

there is a link to a portable .exe app for windows, no install needed.
