## Errors
- invalid request
- banned for nonpayment
- banned for uploading unwanted blobs
- blob not wanted
- blob not available
- not accepting blobs
## Considerations
- there are two requests to upload a blob. how to reduce that to one?
- UploadCheck checks for many hashes at once. if you're just uploading one or a few, just do it and handle the error
- how to avoid receiving the whole blob and then determining the blob is not wanted? may not ever be possible
- is avail check necessary? just request what you want for download
- maybe you want to check multiple blobs at once?
- how to check for wanted blobs from stream hash?
- prices should be set by hosts, since they are offering blobs for download and have the best information on prices. but request is initiated by client. how do we make sure clients are not overpaying without making them make two requests for each blob?
- should we have another request to submit proof of payment? or at least a txid?
