The durability would depend on how many people cared to host that particular blockchain.

For a popular blockchain like teh bitcoin, it would cost quite a lot to introduce much data.

At 30 satoshi per byte, 5 gigs would be about 50 bitcoins. At $7, that’s only$350k right?

That’s a pretty awesome Kickstarter project.

or you can host it on some offshore/for/ipfs server and pay $100

Good point. But since there’s not much usage yet, they can block ipfs. They can’t block bitcoin.
