Surprised that the paypal link is real.
- jacquesm 16y agoWhy? It's the perfect product :)
- bprater 16y agoIf you can never get your data back out, how is it useful?!
- jacquesm 16y agoWell, if I think about all the files on my harddrive, I hardly read any of them on a given day anyway. If I work that out over the longer term there must be plenty of files that I'll never read again, but still keep lugging around with me. I could store those in S4, free up some space and re-use it for other files.

- zemaj 16y agoI just paid for 1TB (really) :)
- catch23 16y agoprobably to pay for that upload-only bandwidth.
- jacquesm 16y agoThat's why I can beat their price, my api will have superior transfer speeds too. I will use my patented quantum-entangled /dev/null transport layer.

- arethuza 16y agoI think my approach is better, no matter how big a file you want to store I only have to store the same amount of data... all I do is hash it first. Still working on the restore side of things, but that can't be too difficult, can it?
- jacquesm 16y agoIt's easy actually, the following code snippet will restore any file as long as you still have the hash: bignum i; for (i=0;i<MAXBIGNUM;i++) { if (hash(i) == filehash) { break; } } fprintf("%Bd",i);
- arethuza 16y agoThanks for the JavaScript!
- jacquesm 16y agoI really hope you're not serious, but on the off-chance that you are, bignum is not exactly a javascript data type and fprintf isn't a standard javascript function either. It was more of a pseudo code joke. If you weren't serious, congratulations ;)
