Abstract
“Mojo Nation” was a network for robust, decentralized file storage and transfer. It was first released to the public in July, 2000, and remained in continuous operation until February, 2002. Over 100,000 people downloaded and used the Mojo Nation software. We observe some surprising and problematic behavior of the users as a group. We describe several specific problems in the design of Mojo Nation, some of which appear to be soluble with simple practical improvements, and others of which are not yet addressed in the literature, suggesting opportunities for further research.
