mobear··on Ask HN: What do you think about blockchain's current trajectory
personally I think there's great application for public blockchain, just hard to move over to a new system out of comfort with the current. Kind of like a frog in boiling water type of scenario

yeah I'm not an expert, but Anna’s Archive seems to reduce censorship by using torrents, mirrors, ipfs (built by the same team behind filecoin). incentives to seed content are mostly through volunteers, which works well if people care about preserving the data

I guess blockchains like filecoin introduce economic incentives, you pay independent storage providers to preserve data rather than relying on volunteers. a good complementary service for additional redundancy. imo blockchain doesn't need to replace every existing solution, but in instances where it makes more sense to reduce dependence on a single party

interesting, I've heard the phrase before. I figured decentralizing trust in areas beyond currency like data ownership and preventing censorship would be beneficial as well
