Research and draft specifications for the next iteration of the Storj network.
The goal of RIPS are to allow us to be clear, calculated and transparent with the way in which we conduct research and share our results along the way.
A RIP is the process for conducting research that results in replacing a small or large portion of our protocol.
A SIP is for making small updates and improvements to the existing protocol. A RIP is for changing the protocol and determining the best way in which that should be done.
Depending on the type of research being done, the results would likely end up living in the code repository for which the research was being done.
- Fork the RIP repository
- Add the spec for the RIP (need more details here)
- Clear problem we're trying to solve
- Results expected from this RIP
- Options that should be considered during research
- Create a PR
- Have it peer reviewed
- If passes review, it gets merged
- Half baked ideas/thoughts
