Im going to assume you are aware of the IPFS-Network and its benefits, espacialy in regards to steem and applications built onto steem.
Now, i can run my own server, buffer the neccessary traffic for others and in return have spikes on my content buffered by other participants in the network - that does leave quite a bit of unused diskspace.
Vice versa, people may not be able to consistently run an IPFS node for one reason or another, dtube does try to compensate on that by forking 25% of revenue to themselves and for each 44 cents they receive store 1GB of file for one month (im aware that they store it for 4.4 cent but they only use 10% of the revenue forked to them for storage so this is an accurate representation of the situation for the user, im obviously not saying there are no other costs for them) which requires you to have quite a bit of revenue for it to lead to satisfying results.
Since we are on steem anyways, we can send and receive steem and SBD rather easily, and having worked in software development before my disability (i can still work in theory, just as long as im not required to be anywhere else let alone at fixed times) i see that there are rather simple solutions.
The plan:
Its not live just yet, the core components are working though before it goes live i ought to fully implement any features which require bigger additions to the base moduls. I could in principle start renting out the space i have right now (though even without further modifications id like to test a bit more than i have at this point), but whatever i can offer would be a drop in an ocean.
The way i envision it, anyone running an IPFS-node will soon be able to rent his space out with the tools i am creating.
Current state:
The basic functionality of collecting account history, selecting transactions to this account, calculating storage time, saving the information, and generating a script which pins whatever should be pinned and unpins what shouldnt be pinned anymore exists.
Certain values will have to become more dynamic for general purpose use and no way of adding anything which isnt allready on the ipfs-network does exist as of now.
At least making the scripts more dynamic and starting operations should be done by the end of next week (though im not going to rush it if there turn out to be many more unexpected issues than expected (I allways expect some unexpected issues)).
