Is that good news? I don't really want to buy more hard drives and worry about backup plans.

  You will store your files on the blockchain! /s

    Filecoin or whatever Bram Cohen's project is called, is very interesting. Bitcoin and other blockchains store all data on every node which can be wasteful, but for file storing just having 1/100th or 1/1000th of the nodes would be amazing coverage.

      I haven't looked into Filecoin, but (in general) the topology of the block-chain is terrible for file storage (off the top of my head: the block-chain itself ends up being massive and the blocks end up being of variable-size).
