The object data doesn't go into the blockchain, it is sparsely distributed across the nodes

Thanks for the response. How do you plan on sparsely distributing data across nodes? I read the whitepaper but that part has not been filled out.

You'd need to make sure that repo's are safe against attack - if not every node has all the data you are moving into highly innovative territory. I'd be interested to know what sorts of solutions you are considering.
