parishy Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I was doing a research on uploading large files such as videos on Blockchain...many informations I got were really discouraging until I came across a great solution that is a little different from Blockchain — IPFS. Data storage on IPFS is Distributed/Decentralized and uncensorable.. . it works abit like Bitorrent (I see no difference?). Nodes and Content creators on IPFS are incentivized. Seems like this Decentralized video platform: https://d.tube/ uses IPFS and I honestly like the site. Its Video thumbnails load way quicker than YouTube. My frustration with Blockchains as regards to Large file hosting is their tendency to become Centralized and quickly too. So I think this might be a wonderful option? I also learned that IPFS could replace https in the future. But i doubt governments would like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambar33n Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I might be prepared to add a 2Tb HDD to the network, but I'm not sure if that would help much. It would probably be useful for my education though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
