- Jasper_ 5y agoWhat happens when the servers then fail to provide that promise? Isn't the data lost?
- mmahemoff 5y agoThe idea is to incentivise hosting via crypto - with ARWeave, there's a bigger upfront fee but no ongoing fees. In theory, it's meant to secure 200 years of storage by putting aside most of the upfront fees for later and (conservatively) assuming storage costs decrease by at least 0.5% per year.
