Would be nice to see a well secure alternative to torrent and IPFS so we can just settle and use it. Ideally encrypted and anonymous optionally too.

- genewitch 3y agoI like the idea of anonymity, and have done implementations of anonymous services - ones that are public and live now. I wouldn't do it for money unless i was somehow indemnified against fault and damages. In my measured opinion, it is too risky to allow unfettered anonymous uploads, even strictly financially.
- bubersson 3y agoIf you use bitcoin you can make services that provide value and get paid for those online without any identity involved. That's the main value. That said it's a bit complicated to use bitcoin in a truly anonymous way without connecting identity to it at any point.
- jazzyjackson 3y ago(not the OP:) Sure I could host your content without knowing who you are, the issue is hiding my own identity when I'm found to be hosting illicit content, this issue is then multiplied when I'm taking payment and trying to offramp those funds to pay my bills. The financial system at large is built to discourage people transferring funds anonymously for myriad reasons, and most people aren't interested in keeping all their cash inside the black market (no exit nodes in torspeak)
- jazzyjackson 3y agoyou can torrent over tor (well, more in theory than in practice) from my view it's been settled for near 2 decades now, IPFS just gets more press in certain circles
