File storage on a peer to peer payment system (outside of small documents or text) is just idiocy.

Thanks for the heads up blockstream.

Have you heard about torrent?
replied 2210d
It's basically free, unlimited and efficient peer to peer file sharing.

Wanting to "upload" everything to the blockchain is idiocy.

how about letting blockspace producers decide what they include in blocks and at what cost (we cant know yet if its stupid or not).
replied 2209d
I know, because I worked on large scale storage solutions.

It may be more efficient than torrent. A quick upload time (send it to a datacenter, the miners), quick download (same), hopefully near free, and being able to earn money from that

This is analogous to expecting that a general use CPU will be more efficient than an application specific one for a specific task.

No. The bigger the network becomes the stronger/efficient it is. This is wrong on your example : the more task a CPU the have to do the slower it will be doing them all

More functionality is worse. Kappa

I don't think you comprehend the implications of using a payment system like Bitcoin as universal storage.
