If the data you want to store is legal I agree.

If you want to store things no other provider will touch this should do the trick.

Seems like the guys who raises millions to build this did just fine.

Doubt it’s a big enough market to survive once investigators start shutting down nodes for kiddie porn.

> start shutting down nodes

Isnt the data supposed to be resilient to downed nodes?

Do you know much about IPFS? It's top of class for distributed storage.

I'm interested to know what you think is a better value proposition?
