If I'm understanding you want to create an IPFS system that allows people to have their own IPFS accounts without taking the time and learning to set it up themselves? If so what do you plan on hosting it on? Will you do all the hosting or have it spread out similar to steem nodes?

At this time it is just a service to allow users to add content to IPFS. Very few creators are going to want to set up a server in order to use IPFS in the event that dtube et. al. won't upload their content for whatever reason. The reason for the future accounts is only to give them the ability to look back over their uploaded content to find it again if needed.
The content is uploaded to a server at this time and any changes to that system will be developed if the service has a large user base. The nice thing about IPFS is that content does not have to stay on our servers forever since we are apart of the IPFS network. The longer the content is on the network and the more that it is accessed the more likely it is that we will not have to hold the entire original copy. So to answer your question, yes we are doing the hosting at this time and will only change this if needed.
Thanks for the comment!
Awesome concept. I haven't entirely wrapped my head around it but I hope to be able to in the long run!
