Why would you put a photograph on the blockchain directly? The chain is for transaction processing, stuff like proof of ownership. Want decentralized storage? Toss it on IPFS.
- acejam 5y agoTo flip your own comment back on you: Why would you toss it up on IPFS? IPFS isn't a decentralized storage network, it's a data routing/transmission protocol with a DHT.
- Nav_Panel 5y agoDepends what you're trying to achieve. Blockchain isn't meant as a decentralized storage network either, If my goal was to keep a photograph in perpetuity, I wouldn't necessarily even want to put it on a decentralized system -- I'd put it on archive.org, or amazon glacier.
- genge 5y agoYou just join IPFS with things like https://crust.network/ https://crust.network/ and that's 'sufficiently decentralized'. People confuse decentralized with sufficiently decentralized which is what most Dapps are focusing.
