Certainly an interesting idea, but I think you're raising the barrier to entry by not simply implementing this as a browser extension. By having to develop a completely separate browser you're wasting a lot of time and resources that could otherwise be used to achieve the goals of the project. I also seriously doubt the willingness of most people to install yet another battery-guzzling Electron app.

There is a browser extension actually: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/b/eonhdpmmjdekgnmc...

You can upload it using, say https://add.bico.media/ . Then you just share the transaction ID or sha256 hash of the pdf file to recepient. Recepient can access that file as long as blockchain exists (basically forever). And all this is achieved by OP_RETURN, a special op_code in bitcoin script that allows you to return data to blockchain.

Except that the link you suggest is for BSV, a bastard fork of bitcoin that tries to lure newcomers.

Yes. It lives as a transaction output under op code 'OP_RETURN'. See example of weather data stored on chain https://whatsonchain.com/tx/6dac238576e9778458bb62a2f7d936fd... >are there fees to host this data (as we need to pay miners to include data in a block)? Yes, current fees are about 1 sat/byte. This is really a write once, read many type of system.

> 1 sat/byte What's a sat?
