Totally fair point. I don't intend to mean that blockchain works right now for storing all of this efficiently, but I know people are working on solutions to this. Steemit uses https://ipfs.io/ https://ipfs.io/ which I am not super familiar with. http://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html http://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html is another.
Another possible solution is something like Torrent, not everyone needs to have a replication of every single file - it's spread out but decentralised enough.
And then a non blockchain solution to this is: https://tent.io/ https://tent.io/ which from what I understand is more similar to an email protocol for social networks.
I didn't go into too much depth in any of the points. I am not super invested in this space, nor up to date completely. It's just been an interest of mine since 2012 and i've been also trying to come up with real life use cases that blockchain could solve well.
- leppr 8y agoFilecoin, Bluzelle, Sia, Genaro, Arweave, are projects that try to solve trustless decentralized storage. Most use blockchain as the incentive and accountability layer only, files aren't stored directly on the blockchain. (Of these projects, only Sia is currently live)
