I played with this about 3 months ago. I shunted it as soon as I saw that it 'phones home' a lot. That's how it coordinates different nodes to pool storage and I found that appalling.
It is truly decentralized and "phones home" only if you ask it to via the --push/--fetch options, and only for convenience feature : finding other nodes endpoints, summing up global space usage, ... All the coordination is done in a peer to peer fashion.
I'll have to orchestrate it again but the idea that it has to "phone home" at all should be alarming. I shouldn't have to create (or be suggested to) an account with the service it should just be agent's coordinating with each other.
