TimeItemWhoNotes
Rent for a unit of time → Mercury?
  • During deployment forgeable processes are tagged with a block height for when they 'expire'.
  • We process the trace log and mark those produces and consumes that only have forgeable payload - we need this because we are going to disallow sends on forgeable names.
    • Plan on computing this in advance that a given payload is forgeable. 

'Proof' of Storage
  • Owner can post a challenge (key)

Phlogiston for Storage
  • Second wallet in a deployment for rent.  
  • Putting a file inside the contract is horribly expensive.
  • Deploying a huge contract → pay for storage but not for rent.
    • This could encourage everyone to store their contracts as persistent sends.  May kill the notion of rent all together.
    • This would result in the contract being forgeable and persistent. 

Payment of rent/fees for storage
  • Need to think about what happens with wallets.  Is storage for wallets paid up front?  Does the wallet pay for it's own storage?
