So we need blockchain because google controls the emails of his kids that he has set up. What? If you want you data to be safe, then host your data yourself and make backups. Yet another "we had a blockchain and did not know what to do with it" solution that nobody needs. I think I lost IQ points reading this nonsense.

Yeah I'm kinda confused as to why he went through all the effort of setting up email addresses rather than throwing them in a folder and backing it up to as many off-site storage providers as needed to make him comfortable. I get that sending an email might be easy but so is uploading to Dropbox or Nextcloud if it must be self-hosted. And you don't have any storage limits. Plus having blockchain domain names does nothing for the storage. IPFS is great but he still have to keep seeding it or it will go offline eventually. He still needs backups!

    Well shit. Too late to fix it now.

  There are projects where you can store things on the blockchain too. That's the point - it's all decentralised.

If you want to host your own data, it sounds like you need opera unite! https://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-Opera-10-10-Final-with-Opera-Unite-127687.shtml https://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-Opera-10-10-Final-w...
