Are you joking that that's what would become of the hypothetical service, or saying that it did materialise but then Google really did buy it and shut it down?

#4Good idea but impossible with a centralized service, because as soon as the hosting company goes down the page goes down with it. Only now that decentralization is starting to be a thing this will finally be possible.

Nobody knows, because the memorial page and Google Tombstone sunset announcement were both hosted on the service, and the only mirror was on Wave.

#7I’ve been interested in doing this for some time. I haven’t looked into How to do it heavily yet; however my hunch is, it can be done with one or a combination of these:
- IPFS
- Dat (https://dat.foundation/)
- Ethereum
- Prepaying for Hosting and Domains + Archive.org
Would be curious to hear how others have gone about this.
It would be interesting if there were a service where you could pay in $5,000 worth of Ethereum for such and have it be “Unstaked” in 500 years and pay the bearers at that time, likely some would be our Transhuman AI overlords :)

They announced this in a Google Buzz post.

But why would transhuman AI overlords care about cryptocurrency. Or any other form of currency or valuable stuff. If they are our overlords then what ever they want they can take, they don’t need currency to pay for it.
