Thank you, @LightningLad91 and @rabbithole, for your responses. I appreciate and admire your good intention to create public file storage dapp.
Let’s take a step back to provide some context for this thread. This feature request is closely related to the ongoing discussion about hyperinflation concerns, which can be found in these threads: Handling of Node Provider rewards and Node Provider Inflation Spiral.
Currently, Dfinity is marketing ICP as a Cloud Service protocol. However, it seems somewhat unusual that it doesn’t offer the easiest way for users to create basic services like personal cloud storage. This lack of user-friendly services has contributed significantly to the current issue of low usage and demand for ICP in real-life applications. This, in turn, has led to challenges in managing node provider rewards, creating an inflationary spiral.
While it’s true that individuals with coding skills can create their own storage solutions using your code, my main request is for Dfinity to facilitate the creation of personal storage for non-technical users. This could have a substantial impact on increasing demand for ICP. This is the primary reason for my feature request.
I understand that this may be “too big to ask” request, considering Dfinity’s resource constraints in developing critical infrastructure. However, Dfinity should consider to explore collaborating with open-source developers like you to maintain the public product and service code by providing ongoing funding support.
If this basic service can generate substantial demand for personal storage, it could help alleviate some of the hyperinflation concerns discussed in above mention thread.
