## Description

Most data storage systems have a way to automatically decide the physical location that data will be stored (that's why, for example, you don't have to calculate something about sectors and tracks when you save a file on your computer). If you do automatic allocation in decentralised storage, then you also need to automate the system that distributes payments to the service providers: I'll give an introduction to this subject in the context of the EthSwarm Protocol.
