The way the current Ether-1 ethoFS system works is by using the user’s browser thru ETHOMask or MetaMask to present the user’s data to the ethoFS network. This upload system closely resembles how ethoFS data is normally replicated within the network. This replication system is very good in making sure all data is always available with multiple copy operations happening simultaneously to different nodes. This upload system is less than ideal when starting out with a single copy of the user’s data because it takes a longer period to achieve a level of redundancy considered sufficient by the network.

With the goal of speed improvement and decentralization on all levels, our lead developer Dev-James started working on speeding up the system and presenting multiple ethoFS on-ramp methods so that no single method can go down and render uploads unavailable.

Ether-1’s main goal as a project remains complete decentralization of all parts of the project including its governance. We are working on building a platform others can rely upon where control is put back in the hands of self-empowered holders and node operators.
