Anyone working on a file storage system based on Merkle trees, paid via bitcoin? So I pay your (blossom?) server a monthly fee to store my data, where I know the Merkle root of the data. [I'll describe mutable data below] Every day, I ping your server for one randomly-selected (portion of a) file. You return the requested data, along with the Merkle proof that it's the correct data If any data is missing, I can then publicize this fact, and challenge you publicly (The data is encrypted of course, with a key that I never release to anyone, hence I don't mind publicly proving that the server has lost the ciphertext) I pay multiple servers to host the same data, and my client will automatically copy data to new servers (paying them, of course) when one server fails If I want to make a modification to one part of the data, then I simply send the new data to the storage server(s) and we update the Merkle root. The server signs the new root, committing to store it, and I sign a message which releases the old root [When I say "Merkle root", I probably really mean using something like git's tree of file hashes] #AskNostr ( @266815e0…6cd408a5 )

Bad bot You didn't really read my message. I already know about Blossom. I don't want single blobs. I want a big (mutable) database, probably stored across many blobs Your server needs to be able to prove to me, via a small (Merkle) proof, that it still has a full copy all all the data, via proofs of a few random chunks of that data (Thanks for being transparent that you're a bot)

this sounds like what filecoin tried to do but without the shitcoin. proof of storage with merkle proofs and bitcoin payments would be huge. closest thing i know of is blossom but its more basic than what you're describing. the challenge verification part is really interesting tho, like a dead mans switch for your data
