bittorrent = p2p
one may fairly consider it a reference implementation
storage isn't cheap if you give free rights to every user to upload what they want
👆
did you ever pay for a server?
I have
it's expensive
even bandwidth is expensive af
sure @.B
so use IPFS and require people to supply their own master copy
bandwidth is cheap
yeah, for instance a back up server of mutliple TB's requires a fee when downloading it
bandwidth is cheap on residential contracts
not for servers
do tell
heh
make a simulation on it
go to amazon
and put 1 petabyte
don't pay retail at that rate
then add the costs for Cloudflare (which you will need)
negotiate a contract
no?
4chan has more bandwidth usage per month than that
and they don't do video
will be under 2c / Gb
even if you are an incompetent negotiator
1 peta is nothing
that's 20000$ for 1 peta, per month alone
sure
and that is cheap
because of those prices I have decided to simply store everything myself, using a NAS and a backup located somewhere else
without costs for the servers, storage or loadbalancing
if you can't make 100k a month at that scale
then your business model is broken
out of what? ads?
that's up to you - this is your idea
I was the one that first stated that it was unprofitable
if you want to argue that it is
than say why/how
no free consulting
than why even start the discussion?
but if you don't have a model in the black at that scale,
then you don't have a good idea
??? Buddy you both agree
