Great idea! How are we going to get people to run their own persistent servers at scale so this peer-to-peer network stays online 24/7 though?
Oh I know, why don't we build some kind of economic incentive that pays whoever wants to run one of these servers some small amount of money for doing so, and we all pay a little to these servers when we want to do things with the network?

- butz 5y agoMost people already have persistent servers - smartphones. Considering how much tracking data and ads are already sent up and down the network by apps, installing a tiny web server to share a simple blog or image gallery shouldn't make a huge difference. And 24/7 uptime is not strictly necessary; considering digital wellbeing, that might be an unintended feature.
