Building a rentable content delivery network (CDN), a p2p based CDN that supports content control and is composed of hardware rented from consumers, requires significant trust between the renters and consumers. The proposed method solves this using a Blockchain to provide transparency in running the network, and proof of provenance, a verifiable proof origin of the content that is used to determine who can get paid for their services to discourage malicious activities.
