Hi -- I'm one of the authors of Tahoe-LAFS. I haven't read your RACS paper before, but it looks pretty good. I appreciate the emphasis on real-world economics and on the costs of vendor lock-in. I haven't yet completely digested your result

> how many of the supported options boil down to Amazon S3? That's a really good question. Diego's experiment used: • memopal: I don't know if it uses S3 • SugarSync: I don't know if it uses S3 • syncplicity: I don't know if it uses S3

I'm working on a Free/Open Source startup named "Least Authority Enterprises". We contribute all of our work (so far) to the Tahoe-LAFS project and we sell secure cloud storage service. I, too, am eager to learn about this topic, as I feel
