[mothered]

I have bigger things to worry about than my reputation on some scrappy tech forum I visit occasionally. I am here to make an argument

The nature of this board and your opinion pertaining to the forum per se, Is not relaitive to the topic on hand. What Is however, Is your support for your offer of assistance.

That said, I am happy to help and contribute to this project for research purposes.

Now that your Intentions have been Identified and as a friendly reminder as per the thread's title, let's move on (constructively) with the objective
as mentioned by the OP.

I want to build a distributed file system with multilayer encryption built in from the ground up.

Thank you.
