RE: Steembit: a decentralized storage marketplace for Steemland
Very interesting read, I couln’t Help but jump from one place to the other but yes, the future is here and it is now. I heard Steem had something to do with Amazon but today, I learned that it hosts all of our pictures.
I see your point about converting Steem to Fiat, it would be way more efficient to pay in Steem.
Do you think there will be a way to purge the old useless photos at some point or are they just going to pile on...
I think they shouldn't be purged - one of the goals of Steembit is to build, on the steem backbone, an archiving service. People come to Steem for the idea of "forever persistence", among other reasons. They assume everything they post is on the blockchain and will be there as long as the blockchain runs. They will feel cheated if they discovered their old pictures had been purged
Sure but the photos themselves are not on the blockchain, only the writting; correct?
