There's a great sci-fi short story (well, two, I guess) that I can recommend based on this - although, knowing what you said is a slight spoiler for them.
Please do!!
is there a TL;DW on this? I don't have the patience for these long drawn out videos with bad audio.
I wonder how many people here are discovering tom7 for the first time beacuse of this video.
In his version you would partition secret data and send it out to non existing email addresses, just to get them bounced back within a couple of days.
If you want to get your secrets back together you would simply start gathering appropriate parts (you need to keep track of all the chunks somewhere), otherwise you'd simply send them to another non existing email address.

The idea of buffering data by transmitting it somewhere far, bouncing it off a moon or whatnot, and using that distance of radio waves as your memory is my favourite thing ever.
For reference, the combined formulas are C=d×B×log_2(1+(Dc÷4πdf)²×S÷N)÷c. And lim->∞ d×ln(1+1÷d²) unfortunately = 0. (Curiously, attempting to store more information by increasing bandwidth -- and thus center frequency -- suffers the same limitation.)
(Wolfram Alpha isn't forthcoming yet with a closed-form solution for the optimal distance...)

Fair, but Tom7's video presentations are always really fun too.
