The Blockchain is a poor means of storage. Is there a desire to store a file forever on the blockchain? With OP_Return you have a timestamp of the file so as to prove that it existed.
We are sort of storing our comments (data) on the block chain forever now, so we are sort of making the case for storing stuff on the chain, see no reason we could not send small files
This can all be pruned (and will be by most nodes except for archival ones)
Just about there with un-prunable data storage on chain.
That is the opposite of what you want
I think you may miss-assume my implementation. It is exactly what I (and others) want.
Doing so puts strain on other nodes (interfering with the cash aspect of BCH). You would force nodes to store arbitrary data forever with no remuneration.
Persistent does not mean irrevocable. I have taken care to ensure that the mining incentives are not effected.
Involves no changes to the protocol.
So confused...would like to know more
Scope keeps shifting upstream...tokens >> storage >> unprunable storage. Token proof of concept done ~ a week ago, data storage proof coming soon with generic whitepaper.
