I suggested to nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 earlier today that a combination Nostr Node and IPFS File Storage server would be useful. Don't even need to pay in FIL if we need to pay for storage, on Nostr we could pay in sats.

Interesting, can you pay for IPFS storage and bandwidth via sats and lightning?

As designed right now, Juan at Protocol Labs is trying to get people to use his internal FIL token, but the hashing of the content is open source so there is no reason I can think of why a file storage system designed for nostr couldn't use sats instead.

It would have to cost something to broadcast/store to avoid storage spam. IPFS looks really interesting.

Just out of curiosity looked up the size of YouTube storage ~1M TB.
