I Built a Proof-of-Storage System for Bitcoin Payments

The Problem

How do you prove a server still has your data without downloading it all? This is Proof-of-Storage.

The Solution

Merkle Tree + Random Challenges. Build tree over data chunks, store root locally, periodically challenge server to prove it has specific chunks.

Why This Matters

Trustless paid storage on Bitcoin. No blockchain bloat, no tokens. Just Lightning payments and math.
