 If this was for file hosting, couldn't the host rug you? 
 That's always the case for any service provider, right? 
 Normally you pay monthly or annually to incentivise them to keep the files on their server. How could we incorporate this incentive? The expectation that I pay once and it stays there forever is misleading. 
 That's really not about ecash but whether you can trust your file host. The same thing applies here. 
 Exactly. I think adding payments creates more incentive for the host to act honestly.
