Ability to pay with a credit card to upload private files to the blockchain would be really cool for non-bitcoiners who would like a place not owned by a single mega tech company or reliant on physical hardware to store files.

Fighting off a yawn to see the merit of your argument

Then this Twetch is clearly not for you and you are free to go about your business.

ex. I want a place for fam photos/vids. Rn I do private FB album/private YT. Both proved willing to deplatform people for unpredictable reasons. No one wants physical hard drive. Encrypted onchain means not owned by 1 co. If CC payment, super easy onboard.

Could be "failsafe" storage. If one-click "import from FB album" and pay with credit card, would dramatically increase user base. No need to care about BSV, just concept of distributed file storage with private key to access. Many apps could render.

Is there much difference between the market for people who would simply use bitcoin and the set of people who want to upload to a decentralized file server?

My bad for any rudeness I was literally sleepy from lunch.

Truly trying to understand here. So it's S3 but instead of Amazon it is "blockchain"?

How do you convince people that blockchain is more secure than AWS S3?

Do they purchase X number of mB or what is your thought?

Interesting idea.
Seems like it'd avoid a lot of the legal ramifications of buying BSV outright as the customer isn't buying cryptocurrency, but access to a third-party archival service.

Then again, as the uploader of user content, any company adopting this model would have to do Panopticon-like due diligence on whatever is being submitted.
Non-custodial apps don't have this problem. It's more than an ancillary benefit.

How can this this be non-custodial but also not denominated in satoshis?

Is it encrypted or unencrypted images?

that was my first idea when they uncucked the opreturn
but the problem is the cost... $1 per mb is nonsesne

I think the trouble would be private key management. If you lose access to your moneybutton encryption / private key, you're screwed.

Could pitch it by encrypting some photos you already have public with your public key, which means the service couldn't even decrypt it themselves.
"Here's a public photo of you that is uploaded to the blockchain that only you can access. Pay for more?"

Import from FB reminds me of LBRY's "import from Youtube"

The options seem endless on #BSV, real #Bitcoin.
