My humble opinion is on the same page ;)

Do you have a concrete use case?

Can you elaborate?


I'm not too sure about how human input would be logged, but at the very
least the idea of distributing the store seems amazing.

In a not so distant future, we could simply distribute the store of
everyone.
So if Alice built qtwebkit locally (at last!), then Bob will be able to
fetch the substitute.  There would be no difference between substitute
servers and Guix users connected to the Internet.

Anonymity should not really be a problem here, and even then it could be
done over Tor.

Thoughts?
