=== Tuning ===
You should adjust the encoding parameters to strike the desired balance between upload bandwidth and replication.
* shares.needed refers to the number of storage nodes (out of shares.total) need to be available to reconstruct a file.
* shares.happy refers to the minimum number of storage nodes a file should be striped upon
* shares.total refers to how many stripes of a file should be made
 
Note that in order to upload a file, the ''client'' does the striping. This can cause significant latency if the client is on a consumer internet connection. You can eliminate this issue by relying upon a ''helper'' node which does striping for you. Blobs are still encrypted on the client side, so not much trust needs to be placed in this. Helpers are useful if you have access to a server with significantly higher bandwidth than your client.
