steemit idea: add decentralized storage

[ash]

"B-But ash, Graphene CAN'T store files"

man, you guys outsmart me. Graphene is the best thing crypto has to offer at the moment, but not for storage. exactly.

So what I learned today is that Storj already got an API up.

Means steemit could add a "Storage" Tab, create a Storj account via your Memo key or whatever, and give its users the chance to Store files. For cheap.

Now, I'm not a tech person, so no idea how hard it would be to implements, but it would be a nice complimentary product in my opinion.

Make sense?

Great idea! we need

2. Steem Storage
3. Counter to shows how many requests were made to your post
4. Notification When a visitor comments on your post, follows or replies you will receive a comment notification

Great idea ! I think the email should be called steemail !
Also an app that invites all your facebook, phone contacts and email contacts to steemit would be awesome.... especially if there was an incentivised referral program .
Maybe we could also integrate a shapeshift button so we can powerup using more altcoins :)
