If y'all need an automated solution to backup your entire blog images, I just released a tool.
I have worked out a number of bugs and added functionality to prevent Deduplication of data using hash checks and symbolic links. I will be updating the latest soon but here is the existing repository.
Sia, Storj, Ipfs all is on table, each has pros and cons, but we ultimately want best user experience... so in-depth testing should be done before real migration to those.
Sia Skynet. It's a new feature using nginx and a image pinning mechanism. I am looking into the prospect of an incentivized Skynet network using a host whitelist.
Right now the renter pays to host images. I imagined an architecture could be developed to incentive people to run esteem image Skynet nodes for ESTM.
Completely agree with that path. Would be curious to see comparisons, if you are whiling to share that info.
I have used SIA lib very mildly... and I used the previous Storj version... not yet the new one that I am testing serving and wanting to test a private network for research reasons with where I work for. IPFS might have like you said other advantages but not at the scope I am looking for...

@good-karma, I'll work on updating / debugging the code last night and maybe this is something you will want to offer your users to simplify backup
Commented from wrong account. Those sort of things happen before I have my coffee.. doh
Have you guys tried something like Storj? or is still way above the paygrade?

The SiaCoin repo itself is on gitlab.
That combined with a nginx caching method could possibly make a very low cost alternatively be to centralized cloud image providers.

Nice to see new options being tested...
Well I guess change comes with some discomfort but then...
?? If someone looks at my old posts will they still contain my photos?
Yes, because it is cached!
OK... Thanks! 😘
