A single, read/write open database for everything in the world.
- A hosted database that accepts anything you put on it and stores it in order.
- Anyone can update it by adding new stuff.
- To make sense of the data you can read only the records that interest you, in order, and reconstruct a local state.
- Each updater pays a fee (anonymously, in satoshis) to store their piece of data.
- It's a single store for everything in the world.
Cost and price estimates
Prices for guaranteed storage for 3 years: 20 satoshis = 1KB 20 000 000 = 1GB
https://www.elephantsql.com/ charges $10/mo for 1GB of data, 3 600 000 satoshis for 3 years
If 3 years is not enough, people can move their stuff to elsewhere when it's time, or pay to keep specific log entries for more time.
Other considerations
- People provide a unique id when adding a log so entries can be prefix-matched by it, like
myapp.something.random - When fetching, instead of just fetching raw data, add (paid?) option to fetch and apply a
jqmap-reduce transformation to the matched entries
