Does a blockchain alternative to sci-hub exist yet?

  Blockchains aren't useful for storing large amounts of data, so this probably won't happen. Blockchain as a distributed database + IPFS maybe.

    Blockchains can be good for storing links to large amounts of data, but that doesn't directly solve the fundamental problem here. Storj[1], as I understand it, is an attempt at decentralized storage of large amounts of data. I'm curious if it could be used to host papers in a way that's difficult or impossible to censor? 1: storj.io
