CLI Suggestion #1

Interesting project.

From reviewing the README.md, a lot of the steps can be abstracted by introducing command line handling. For instance:

ac cache
ac id --verify
ac db --init
ac node --verify

My bandwidth is stretched at the moment but I have forked for future consideration.

Apologies for late reply. Thanks for taking an interest.

Your suggestion for an 'ac' command that captures the core functionality/activities is very good.

It's not easy to move forward on this project without users. It is all very open ended. For example, how the automation of node discovery and propagation of changes to the file system is done depends a lot on user preference. One could use e-mail, web or other methods. Different methods can coexist, though. If you want to try out AC in practice, maybe I can set up a node and we can give it a go.

I think a good next step is to write add-on components for IPFS directories and other storage types native to IPFS. This would allow accessing data all ready on IPFS as if it was on local storage. It would make AC useful for existing IPFS users and also grow the AC directory tree with content.
