Feels like this is a modern day rehashing of the windows 95 briefcase system.

It’s interesting but I think a distributed internet makes more sense. There’s no reason this couldn’t be folded into that too though. If it disappears off enough peers that it’s done, someone opens up the dead-dropped site and that new peer shares with the others again.

I would be seriously worried about malware on a random USB stick in the wild...
