#### Overview

Lavinia is a novel censorship-resistant publishing
system that incentivizes document storage through the
use of an anonymous, distributed, time-locked payment system.
This has the advantage of allowing the publisher, as opposed to public interest
or an appointed editorial board, to decide whether a document is
worth storing, and for how long.

Lavinia has been developed by Cecylia Bocovich, John A. Doucette, and
Ian Goldberg at the CrySP lab, David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo.
