What I Would Do If I Ran Tarsnap

Or...How I would run an online backup service completely unrelated to Tarsnap, with different goals, different priorities, and different ideals.

Honestly, he's put so much thought and effort into it already and seems to care a lot about it, I wonder why he doesn't just launch a competing service.

Edit: Whoa, lots of downvotes. I guess it is a bit odd to ask a person who just said "What I Would Do If I Ran Tarsnap" if they have any literal interest in running Tarsnap. Silly me.

part of the allure of Tarsnap is cperciva's security and engineering expertise. While patio11 is brilliant, that is the one part of the "business" he wouldn't be to compete with.

Couldn't he just run a marketing site that passes user data directly through to Tarsnap, but charges a 1000% markup for the flashy website?
