Title: Alt-coins for file storage? Post by: shade_tom on June 07, 2017, 09:42:42 PM Are there any good alt-coins and blockchain solutions for file storage? I've heard of storj.io but I wouldn't believe they're the only one.

Thanks! yes, Sia is good,, also the developer is active and look like the price is undervalued right now Title: Re: Alt-coins for file storage?

I found their prices very attractive Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't dislike storj.io, I was just wondering about the other ways people are trying/tried to decentralize storage.

You can store plenty on the Datacoin blockchain if you mine for a few days. It has a 128KiB transaction field for arbitrary data storage. Many have used it as a timestamp service and others have put much more on the chain. Have a look at ByteSt@mp (http://www.bytestamp.net/) for a few examples.

It has a 128KiB transaction field for arbitrary data storage. Interesting, I looked into it. It seems as though it's like an ASIC proof bitcoin with support for a larger "OP_RETURN". I personally don't like the idea of storing data specifically on the blockchain since it stays there forever and storage prices will increase exponentially with demand. However, according to the FAQ, http://datacoin.info/faq/ (http://datacoin.info/faq/), it seems as though they will have a personal chain thing for specific services. It seems more interesting and scalable. Quote Personal chains will start from the root Datacoin blockchain and will be replicated to nodes by subscription (nodes can choose chains they subscribe to). The Datacoin blockchain will handle only identification and some metadata for all personal chains. Title: Re: Alt-coins for file storage?
