I would also add IPFS, a REALLY cool piece of tech.
Some really interesting suggestions in this thread that i will definately look into when i find the time.
I think the problem with IPFS is it's terribly inefficient with large and or dynamic data storages, the exact problem bittorent tackles(large not dynamic).
IPFS does seem to provide great p2p functionality for small static files though, albeit pretty slow.
Yeah, the discovery process is shite on IPFS. You kinda have to cheat it to get it to work with something like .
Idk if it's inefficient with large data, but it's inefficient with compressed storage, as it does block-level deduplication, which is very cool.
also data duplication, if you want to store a file in application readable format and IPFS you need to store TWO files, makes archiving and management expensive
