as all the free data storage services seem to be expiring:
are there any services where one can pay with lightning to store—not hosting, just private access through SFTP or WebDAV—say, a few 100GB of data ?
(access through a Tor hidden service would be nice but not required—and i can handle encryption myself 😀 so no fancy client is needed)
@orionwl @rusty For distribution to others there's lots of services like https://k2s.cc which host files for file sharing forums. You can pay for them with Bitcoin as well.
@orionwl no Bitcoin support unfortunately but otherwise https://www.rsync.net/ is great SFTP compatible storage.
@orionwl Haven't checked if they accept cryptocurrencies, but use and recommend /e/ foundation WebDAV cloud storage: https://esolutions.shop/e-cloud-subscriptions/
@black_sun thanks, i currently use stack.nl and mega, a lot of these things exist if you drop that requirement, but would prefer something that can be paid w/ lightning
@orionwl pCloud offers WebDAV (yet it requires disabling 2FA) and accepts Bitcoin payment. I have use it briefly in the past, therefore cannot offer a solid opinion. Here's a list that you may find useful: https://community.cryptomator.org/t/webdav-urls-of-common-cloud-storage-services/75
@orionwl I've long wanted someone to create a protocol for monthly storage paid via lightning. There are some interesting things you can do, such as charge for storage and give one free re-download, then charge for following ones. That would let you use it for hosting, too...
