Could Digital content be uploaded to a blockchain?
Just a thought..
Could a system be created where digital content is uploaded and distributed amongst miners who provide memory for hosting digital data? the data could only be accessed with a private key? people could sell any digital content online... from movies to php script.. right?
Yeah, various people have been working on stuff like this for a while. Check out Storj and Maidsafe for projects that have talked about distributed fileservers in various forms.
