it's there any active project perusing this idea ?

  I'm hoping someone here in Hacker News will pick it up and apply for the next round at ycombinator. A non-profit would be better than for-profit in this case. Block-chain ish type tech would be perfect for this. If in a few years no one does, then I'll do it.

  https://github.com/exp0nge/wayback https://github.com/exp0nge/wayback Here's an extension to archive pages on Skynet, which is similar to IPFS but uses financial compensation to ensure availability and reliability. I don't know if the author intends to continue developing this idea or if it was a one-off for a hackathon.

    FileCoin is the incentivization layer for IPFS, both built by Protocol Labs.

  The largest active project doing this (to my knowledge) is the Inter-Planetary Wayback Machine: https://github.com/oduwsdl/ipwb https://github.com/oduwsdl/ipwb There have been many other attempts though, including internetarchive.bak on IPFS, which ended up failing because it was too much data. http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=INTERNETARCHIVE.BAK/ipfs_implementation http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=INTERNETARCHIVE.BAK/i... http://brewster.kahle.org/2015/08/11/locking-the-web-open-a-call-for-a-distributed-web-2/ http://brewster.kahle.org/2015/08/11/locking-the-web-open-a-...

I was surprised when digital.com got purged Then further dismayed that the utzoo Usenet archives were purged. Archive sites are still subject to being censored and deleted.
