The future is not self-hosted, but self-sovereign

Basically nano cryptocurrency has no gas fees so if you can get even 10^-30 nano, you can technically do unlimited transactions forever (there is some caveat)

You can get such nano from faucets and then you have basically an eternal source of doing transactions.

What are transactions? Transactions are a way of sending money from A public key to B public key

Now what if we actually take some data and parse it into chunks and then we can create a lot of addresses using some vanity generator whose seed we can know

Then we got all the seeds of the vanity addresses whose lets say top 4 letters of the first address can form a word... now we do the transactions and then we take a transaction id and in the end we send money to original account

by that transaction id or that special account we can actually see a loop of sorts and thus tada! we get some data that we can actually store in blockchain itself.. for 0 fees!!

Now what was my use case! sounds really silly but I wanted to use worldoftext and I wanted to prove that I am the first person to write some text..

Now so what I did was take a unique hash of text and then embed it into blockchain.., and since blockchain has some time, we have essentially timestamped some text and we can also prove that we are the owner of the account that created that text...

Oh yeah, I have also created my own cryptocurrency which actually used algorand's vrf function with it to create a sort of way for randomness to be integrated in it too/ in sense create a cryptocurrency too with this usecase lol

Side note: in order to improve the efficiency you could lose the 10^-30 nano to send to a completely different account which we don't control and since most faucets give like 10^-10 nano ish and like honestly, that is a more practical approach

How is nano still alive? because for each transaction the person doing the transaction has to do some work function, I recommend the 2nd latter approach but I like both approaches. I have some bun code which can automate this whole thing too and Its all on github and uh my practical approach is with me T-T, I think I legit accidentally deleted it but uh yea I built it using claude and its kinda Ai slop but it works :/

Someone gifted me the domain name for my work and some dollars too, Y'know.. I personally feel like the thing that I did was really innovative and I am the most proud of it but I personally feel like the decentralization aspect would never make me earn a single cent out of it and that's okay to me but I don't have too much money and I wish someday that I could work on such things without thinking about money :/

Fun fact: nano cryptocurrency creator actually said on reddit that such behaviour is unintended and that's exactly what I like doing.. Doing unintended things to do something useful.

I also created a whole youtube video and some other which I might share privately https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hHG8gOkZBE

I will update my HN to show some contact info I guess too

Actually yes. The golden rule of selfhosting is that you don't host for others. Then you are just hosting, with all the annoyance that comes with it. Also I might have different needs than my siblings, different software, settings and so on. Extreme example: police warrant for a sibling, and they take the family server away? Who is legally responsible for what is hosted there? Families could share a single car, or a single bathroom, realistically multiple families even - yet anyone who can afford it will opt to avoid that.

So along with sovereignty I will always opt for the most independence and freedom. The only reason people think otherwise is because because of alleged technical infeasibility.

I really wish this was as easy as talking about it is.

Your whole premise is that self hosting software can become a one-click deploy, if they can achieve that I'm sure different settings per user is possible. If who is legally responsible about what your brother does with the family serve is really such a big question, then let's just accept widely adoption of self hosting is not going to happen.
