integrating digital payments into p2p protocols

Folks: I just posted this note over on the Trade forum: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=30.msg10592#msg10592 There are a few hackers who would be pretty interested in contributing patches to integrate BitCoin payments directly into the Tahoe-LAFS storage protocol. It would be a big job! It would probably take a year of effort before we would be ready to deploy it in a new stable release. Of course, the more people pitch in the faster the work goes.
