I’ve been interested in doing this for some time. I haven’t looked into How to do it heavily yet; however my hunch is, it can be done with one or a combination of these: - IPFS - Dat (https://dat.foundation/ https://dat.foundation/) - Ethereum - Prepaying for Hosting and Domains + Archive.org Would be curious to hear how others have gone about this. It would be interesting if there were a service where you could pay in $5,000 worth of Ethereum for such and have it be “Unstaked” in 500 years and pay the bearers at that time, likely some would be our Transhuman AI overlords :)

But why would transhuman AI overlords care about cryptocurrency. Or any other form of currency or valuable stuff. If they are our overlords then what ever they want they can take, they don’t need currency to pay for it.

  Presumably if there are multiple overlords they need some accounting mechanism to allocate resources among themselves.

  AI overlords would still require physical presence via metal box and electricity. Two scarce resources. I'll let you connect the rest of the dots.

    Which assumes there is some "big data" as well.

      But only with ML please!

        You joke but none of these are passing fads. Bitorent continues to host and sever terabytes of data daily, I just downloaded my OS over torrent the other day. Bitcoin has been working great (now called Bitcoin Cash) as Peer to Peer Digital Cash for over a decade now. And ML makes EVERYTHING you do online possible. Try to image a modern search engine without ML. There is no reason to joke about these life changing technologies unless you just don't understand how valuable they are.

Why would this service need a significantly different business model from the way cemeteries currently operate?
- charles_f 6y ago
  Because cemetery concessions usually last much shorter than 500y?

If you could somehow get the Clock of the Long Now to also be a web server...

For the domain part you can eternally use a Tor .onion domain i.e. http://eternx2sade7n5nh.onion/ http://eternx2sade7n5nh.onion/
