    See MaidSafe.[0] It's what you describe. They're working on it, hopefully to be released some time this year. You upload something, it gets distributed to random nodes on the SAFE …

    Ha! I just recently came across this discussion on the MaidSafe forums. There are talks of doing this to bootstrap the network: https://www.maidsafe.org/t/bootstrapping-the-safe-ne…

    Ah I see you're not really familiar with the project. "backing up personal data to a p2p network" is far from what they're doing. They're creating the backbone for a completely dec…

    I thought paypal does recurring donations? Anyhow, for bitcoin, look into Coinbase's recurring payment options. I don't think it should be a problem.

    Are there open-source voice recognition projects in the works that could replace the likes of Google Now and the others? If not, there should be.

    Try stripping locally and see if the checksum matches.

    I think it's an interesting issue because the primary issue is what interests people, not the website itself. If a majority of people want to concentrate on the bad, then the bad s…

    Same here. Someone calls, I press Accept, and it could take up to 10 seconds to actually accept the call. It would open a new window, start loading stuff, and then the call was mis…

    Why not just run backups on a replica suited specifically for that purpose?

    I would argue that if built upon a platform like MaidSafe, which should come out late 2014/early 2015, it would be a decentralized network.

    Nice idea. It'd be great to have a MPAA rating as well to be able to filter out family-friendy movies (e.g. G, PG) and vice versa.
