Bitcloud is a universal protocol aiming to provide a massive distributed database and filesystem, or "virtual hard disk", capable of storing data encrypted and signed across all connected nodes, protecting privacy and guaranteeing quality of service (QoS).
Bitcloud can be the base for decentralized applications that require data storage and bandwidth. There are many Bitcoin 2.0 projects in the works right now, but they all still rely on some type of blockchain. In Bitcloud, the blockchain is replaced by a distributed database, also known as the nodepool. Bitcloud creates a new decentralized system of trust where entire web applications can be hosted without a centralized server.
Bitcloud is coin agnostic, meaning that it only pretends to be the base for the storage needs of future DAs. Bitcloud can use the escrow capabilities of Bitcoin and/or the contracts of Ethereum. Bitcloud pretends to substitute the way in which servers interconnect today and make much easier, secure and private for users, publishers and DAs to share files, and will be fundamental for the upcoming DAs.
Whether you're watching videos from YouTube or listening to music on Soundcloud, you're getting all of your content through one centralized source. That centralized source could decide to delete certain content or be forced to delete controversial content by a local government. The core principles behind decentralized applications built on top of Bitcloud are decentralization, complete autonomy, open source, and the choice of anonymity.

Why do we need Bitcloud? Read this
We want to make the process of creating Bitcloud extremely open, allowing anyone who wants to participate to share their opinion and help with the project.
