siad VS ens

For example, decentralized data storage projects like Filecoin, Arweave, and Sia posted 50-100% user growth, providing blockchain-powered alternatives to AWS, Google Cloud, and Dropbox for distributed app data security.

Sia - A decentralized data storage platform where the proof of work helps maintain the network and provide storage services.

Sia

If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?).

Not sure what you aught to do, but I will say the 2 projects Im paying attention to are https://www.helium.com/mine and https://sia.tech/

For consumer storage, Sia, Storj, and Vult (on Züs) can be good options since they are architecturally lower cost because of the erasure code technology. But for enterprise storage, among the available platforms, there isn’t a direct competitor to AWS S3 except for Zus, and archive storage, Filecoin is the best alternative, and for consumer storage, Storj, Sia, and Züs offer better options for fast retrieval times.

As long as your needs are not beyond a TB, you can always consider something that does not require an actual "login" or a national currency, such as using SIAcoin (https://sia.tech). The cost for a terabyte hosted in two places often will cost you under the equivalent of $6-8 per month. It takes getting used to, but since it is blockchain based, it might even be possible for you to mine the means of paying for your cloud storage if what you actually need hosted is low enough.

SiaCoin which is the utility token for the Sia ecosystem https://sia.tech/

While creating these tutorials, I choose Ethereum Name Service as an example, because it's a famous project, and quite frankly, also because I take these changes to study some subjects I am interested in (sue me! 😛).

> I hope this idea catches on

This already exists with Ethereum Name Service (ENS) https://ens.domains and Sign-in With Ethereum.

ENS is my go to example for something novel and useful that Ethereum enables. Instantly propagating private key based DNS.

https://ens.domains

One of the first applications of blockchains was DNS. (Namecoin) ENS is a modern form. (https://ens.domains)

I would say there's still some degree of centrality for ENS, but it is more decentralized than DNS.

This is a scam. The real url is ens.domains, not ens.com.
