-Storm software can:
-- import files as Storm blocks
+Our software can:
+
+- import existing files as Storm blocks
- store new data as blocks
-- retrieve blocks from peer-to-peer (P2P) network
-- ensure validity of retrieved blocks
+- download blocks from a peer-to-peer (P2P) network
+- check that the hashes of downloaded blocks are correct
- act as a gateway serving block requests made by http clients
