Disk space is one parameter of the equation though. Bandwidth and uptime should be considered too in order to estimate the effective amount of resources a node adds to the network.
- mstade 11y agoGiven enough peers over time, neither bandwidth or uptime should be an issue. If an incentive based system like Filecoin were to take off, and there's a market to exchange that currency, then it may actually be a viable business just to set up farms that host content. Kind of like a hosting service, but with indirect customers.
