Incentivising seeding is hard. Maybe cryptocurrencies can be useful here, but I understand not everyone likes them especially here on HN. In retrospect the ideal setup would have been if archiving was included into the core HTTP protocol.

It already exists. IA has had a DWeb for 6 years. Nobody seeds it.

I don't think they censor anything, strictly archiving. Do you know of any instance in which they censored a site?

That is about us using the Internet Archive to show a snapshot of a page from the Internet Archive when the origin server is down.
It would be better if the Internet Archive was decentralized without a central point of failure, maybe run on something like bittorent.
You say this as if it is an original idea. Of course the IA is working on this and have been for over 6 years. There already is a DWeb version. They have been advancing DWeb infrastructure. The IA hosts all kinds of DWeb developer events. But it is over 50 petabytes and the IA gets a huge amount of traffic through the regular web that they need to serve quickly and efficiently to their users. Guess what has happened…
I’ve always been fascinated by this post.

Cryptocurrencies implies that people would pay / get paid for it... just pay the directly IA then, or your own servers. Cryptocurrencies imply someone's skimming off a lot for their own pockets.
