RE: State of distributed storage
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I would like to know this too - would be cool to have all large media (images video etc) stored off-chain on ipfs using filecoin or something similar and just have metadata on the blockchain. I think 3speak is planning to do something like this and then you can earn tokens by hosting videos.

If the bandwidth AND storage are compensated I can see a lot of people interested.
I know I have a lot of spare bandwidth, for a residential load, that I could spare. I also have the "prosumer" infrastructure that would allow me to share the load so that it doesn't affect my personal use, while streaming at least 720p video.
I can stream full HD to a couple clients with plex external to my network, so it won't be a big deal.
Sweet - you can run a theta edge node to monetise spare bandwidth right now. I do it and earn tfuel!
