Title: Is decentral hosting a thing?
Post by: AnoniX1 on August 30, 2021, 03:35:09 AM

Was talking with a friend who's in crypto a long time (the only real life friend I know who is) and we thinked about how decentral hosting with blockchain technology would/could work.

Without deeper knowlage about all this technical stuff, my idea was (as example an image) to spilt an image into to many small pieces (like every pixel row) and these pieces could be saved multiple times by many different "hosters". So nobody would host the full image.

But then I thinked about content that I don't want to be save and undeletable hosted - like childporn.

So how could it be possible to have decentral hosting WITH the option to remove content if needed, without loosing the anonymity and safe concept.


I hope you understand what I mean - hard to discribe as not native english speaker ^^

Look up Interplanetary File Server (https://ipfs.io/).

There are also several cryptocurrency-oriented file storage projects (https://3commas.io/blog/top-seven-decentralized-storage-crypto-projects).

Generally, you can't because the data is encrypted and only the owner can see the contents.
