Big potential. My biggest question is how do I vet the nodes for safety? I assume that a malicious node runner could just read whatever data I put in there.
Thank you! glad you're liking it. It's definitely a concern
the incentives to provide a stable, secure service are certainly greater than incentives to steal your application's data. That being considered, you can choose the capacity provider you trust, or even run your own nodes to host your workloads (or plan the system with services like https://github.com/threefoldtech/0-stor_v2)
I see. Having to vet and pick a provider seems to diminish the decentralization aspect somewhat. The upside is of course no provider lock in.
At first glance I had the impression of a decentralized crypto funded cloud and my mind goes directly to a homogeneous cloud of crypto miner like entities that are providing the capacity. But this system isn't trust free so that Idea can't work.
Now I understand the core aspect of the product to be a open framework that horizontally scalable cloud infrastructure can be built on.
I'm not sure what the best path is but judging by this comment section, the crypto funded capacity seems to be a somewhat unhappy marriage with the core product, at least in the current post crypto boom landscape.
In any case, I wish you the best of luck with this project.
