Thanks for the info. Is there a simple way right now to use another storage backend than Sia? E.g. If I have a group of people that want to participate in hosting, but only want to host data from the people in the group? Essentially, can you use dgit to store a repo decentralised without having to set up git synchronisation tools, but while still having control over the hosting infrastructure?

hey cfstras, another dgit dev here. Each repo has a storage adapter specified, so any storage infrastructure is possible, but at this moment we've only written two: sia and on tupelo network. We've had a lot of experience with running IPFS nodes internally, that might be a great option for you in this case? We are in early stages and will add more adapters as feedback informs. Also, its open source and we would love PRs :) - the storage interface is pretty straight forward: https://github.com/go-git/go-git/blob/master/storage/storer.go#L16-L23 https://github.com/go-git/go-git/blob/master/storage/storer.... Here is an example within dgit: https://github.com/quorumcontrol/dgit/blob/master/storage/chaintree/storage.go https://github.com/quorumcontrol/dgit/blob/master/storage/ch...

  Curious why you guys didn’t got with IPFS by default? Is it related to how you wanted to incentivize backups by default, or was there a more technical reason?
