Thats fine. either people are interested or their not atm. I just dont have anything to show for a few more weeks. its just barely usable for me.

I dont want to talk about the details here because this is a legal grey area in a public space, like seriously wtf you’re pushing for details on a comm with rules directly protecting it from these exact problems. I was literally trying to give people enough information to have their interest piqued and be curious and raise their hand and have some fun learning about each other. But so far the responses have been like i fucking drowned your pets. 😞 suffice to say, disappointed.

That particular aspect literally is just personal cloud storage, its not distributed.

put it this way: you can spend money for a beefy seed box or on a NAS you need to manage or use a signficantly smaller systems and seed significantly more data. making it easier to maintain your ratio, increasing the available within the tracker of data, etc. And spend less money. That’s all I’m willing to say publicly at this time.

People who are eligible and interested (which you arent atm) will be informed of the other details which are far more interesting than these basic aspects.

Primarily because I didnt want to spell it out in a public comm. But here we are.

here is an example case for the people here, obviously the total uplink is a consideration but this is just a demonstration:

with the storage offloading: 3TB costs €4.5 / month + €3 euro subscription.= €7.5. Cost difference between those servers: €10.8. using the smaller box + what I’m building it’ll cost €10.50/month and you’ll be able to seed 8TB instead of 6TB. And those economics only improve the bigger the box you’re currently using gets.

On top of all that if we can get enough people on board I can do some really cool things around partial seeding of content. further reducing overall costs for everyone and improving the network.

All the while the archive layer will have no idea what data you’ve uploaded . and you can also upload just misc stuff you want backed up but not shared for far cheaper than the cloud providers.

I’m also trying to improve the UX of getting set up so my non-techy friends can use this stuff.

sigh i literally have to spell everything out. my seedbox is significantly smaller, is serving more content, and I’m spending less overall.
