That's how I see blossom. It's filecoin, without the shitcoin. The pear stack is also interesting. I just set up Pear Pass this morning though. It seems like we could use this p2p protocol to achieve simmilar goals. I'm not sure how yet, but it's fun to think about. 😂

Blossom is ossom but it doesnt have a Bring Your Own Storage solution yet.
"Blossom is ossom" 😂
Right, but here's how I see it
Technical users can run their own blossom servers.
They can also use blossom servers of others.
I see it as a redundancy service. The goal is to keep the integrity and availability of data. Confidentiality is harder to achieve with blossom, but we could encrypted sensitive information on it using strong crypto like PGP. Here's an example of encrypted data on a blossom server.
I haven't thought through all the details. It's limited in size, but I think this could be useful for some sort of dead man's switch.
We can encrypt with nostr nsecs themselves, but setting up your own blossom servers requires a static public IP and/or a VPS I want a user to be able to do it with a hard disk they buy off the retail store, otherwise we'd rely on cloud prviders and be slaves to their pricing.
