RE: Ron Paul: Government Will Ban Bitcoin

Videos and pictures do not have a decentralized system ... i hope hive users don't tell people "hive is a censorship resistent way to store pictures or videos" because it's certainly not true.

The realm of video has been historically much more sensitive ... way more than pictures... but it's way way more expensive to host video and there have been much more consistent picture hosting sites than video hosting.

I think there needs to be more options for picture/video hosting for example I myself usually link pictures from my own website instead of upload to peakd. I have pushed for giving our users options for where they want their pictures stored when they upload a picture for example. IF one of those systems was some sort of decentralized storage then that's awesome we shall see what becomes available maybe @fulltimegeek is working on something i hear?

In any case we may not have the present tech for censorship resistent if you stipulate it has to be free to the user... BUT what we could do is decentralize by giving users their own choice. But with choice means you're giving the user responsibility and they sometimes hate the work involved with that. But perhaps something easy to use essentially asking the user "Who do you trust" that level of decentralization in my opinion is a big step forward.

But then ... how do we get the time to work on it or where do we find someone to contract out to do that work without disrupting the other work @asgarth is doing on peakd.
