This document discusses using decentralized storage systems (DSS) with volunteer computing (VC). It outlines the problem, defines VC and DSS, and reviews several DSS approaches. Key criteria for DSS like availability, scalability, and consistency are examined. The document then analyzes characteristics of DSS that could integrate with VC, challenges of providing incentives, and security issues. It concludes that balancing functionality with complexity is important when integrating DSS with VC systems.
