Bro hear me out bro

We put the whole thing on a blockchain. BUT

  • entry order isn't super important

  • you don't need to validate the entire archive

So basically a blockchain, but for a bunch of files, not ordered. So instead of a native token, users can just trade bits of information as currency. 🙀

If it goes really well, we could even recruit one of the Bitcoin developers to help.
