But I have bandwidth to share, not cash. I'm already at the lowest subscription level with my ISP. I understand the argument, but if there was a general technical solution this would be nice, right?
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThat's true. Does such solution exist, though? I had some hopes for Filecoin (i.e. a P2P system with monetary incentives attached to backing up other people's data, from one of the very few groups in the crypto space that don't look like scammers to me), but I haven't heard anything about it in a while.
- teekert 7y agoI used to participate in such a service from Lacie (or was it Lacie?), I shared 1 TB, got 1 TB in return "cloud" storage (I think multiplied by the time you were online actually), which was in fact, distributed (after local encryption) over many other online PCs. I ran it on my server but one was not even obligated to keep their PC on. It worked "meh" (it was all java based with a meh UI) and they discontinued it.
