I wonder if someone can come up with some kind of distributed storage that isn’t insanely slow. Kinda like a CDN but on personal devices. I’m thinking like SETI@HOME did with distributed compute.
Edit: this is kinda like torrents but where the contents are changing frequently.
You should look up IPFS! It’s trying to be kinda like that.
It’ll always be slower than a CDN, though, partly because CDNs pay big money to be that fast, but also anything p2p is always going to have some overhead while the swarm tries to find something. It’s just a more complicated problem that necessarily has more layers.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible for it to be “fast enough”

Interesting, thanks
