 In terms of allocating block rewards for data hosts, this is only possible if we can create a publicly verifiable association between a node and a minting key, and also a publicly verifiable way to prove that a node is hosting the data it claims to be. At that point I guess it's up to the community to decide on whether modifying block reward distribution to include data hosts is the right thing to do or not. I doubt it's worth discussing in too much depth yet as we are a long way away from being able to implement anything like that. These concepts will take a lot of work to create solutions for. On the plus side, any progress we make with this can also be applied to reduce the gaming of the sponsorship system.  In terms of allocating block rewards for data hosts, this is only possible if we can create a publicly verifiable association between a node and a minting key, and also a publicly verifiable way to prove that a node is hosting the data it claims to be.

-There are no limits to the file formats that can be hosted. The core does restrict the types of data that can be used in certain cases - e.g. listing metadata has to be in a certain format, thumbnails have size limits, playlists will require a certain data structure to be adhered to, etc etc. But in terms of just hosting a file to be shared, there are no limits other then the total file size limit which is several hundred MB. Exact limit TBC. +There are no limits to the file formats that can be hosted.

 We have to limit the total file size as otherwise the transaction size gets too big. This is because we store all the chunk hashes in the on chain transaction. In the future if we increase the size of each chunk, we can increase the total file size limit by the same proportion We have to limit the total file size as otherwise the transaction size gets too big.

 (or, we can fit more data transactions in each block if we increase chunk sizes and keep the total file size limit the same). (or, we can fit more data transactions in each block if we increase chunk sizes and keep the total file size limit the same).
