This looks like the opposite of IPFS in terms of what gets stored on your computer if you are part of the network.
On IPFS, something gets on your computer only if you decide to let it, and there are blacklists to automatically keep off material you don't want.
On ORC, it seems that encrypted pieces of everything get stored, so you can wind up with all sorts of things you don't want, but on the other hand might be able to deny legal responsibility.
- polle626 9y agoWell, in ORC you get paid for storing things, in IPFS you don't.
- djsumdog 9y agoAnother comparison would be FreeNet, also where you don't get paid anything, but you don't know what's on your particular hard drive either. With FreeNet though, you can anonymously post and distribute content to others. I didn't see anything on the page or FAQ indicating if you could create a public key/link (like you can with Mega).
- woodandsteel 9y agoTrue, except with filecoin you get paid in IPFS. Anyway, my comment wasn't meant as a total comparison, just focusing on one particular issue.
