How useful is the block chain in Datacoin to store data?

What kinds of files can it store? How large of files can you upload?

Is it easy to upload/download them from the block chain, or does it take many steps?

I'm somewhat interested in this concept.

For now, it's not really easy to do because the coin is new.
But there is a lot of tools coming, like : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anndatacoin-kryptenet-store-and-browse-files-in-the-blockchain-365165
This would make it really easy to upload and download data from the blockchain.

Even is it's not impossible, it's not really convenient to upload files that large on the blockchain. Text is really where it's at, and photo too, but for videos it's too much.

Bidji, you gave excellent idea. It will be very helpful and symbolic to get such document into blockchain and announce info about it via different news portals.

1. Blockchain is expensive and reliable storage. It costs 50 DTC per 1MB , or 0.05 DTC per 1KB.

2. It can store any file, you need to bzip data before sending to blockchain. You can do it manually, or with special services (see below)

3. Now you can go to https://krypte.net , register here, send some coins and upload files. If you want to do that via wallet (Linux version), you should look into instructions http://datacoin.info/index.php?id=technical-details
This feature will be implemented into wallet GUI soon.

It's doesn't really matter.
It was more a test than anyhting else.
I'm talking here about a real upload with a real purpose

Unfortunately, the first document has been stored already.

This document is:

Code:

or translated to:

Code:
Hello Data

I'm not sure if there is some files already in the blockchain,
But I think it could be great if the first document to be included in the blockchain (or the first "official" one if there is some already)  have a strong symbolism.


Maybe some really important history document :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Rights_of_Man_and_of_the_Citizen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution

But i'm not convinced about those, it's too much linked to a specific country, when Datacoin is an universal and worldwide storage.


But i think a book is better :

For example , Fahrenheit_451 by R. Bradbury would be very symbolistic.  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451 )
"The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found, The title refers to the temperature that Bradbury understood to be the autoignition point of paper.[5][6]"
" In a 1956 radio interview,[7] Bradbury stated that he wrote Fahrenheit 451 because of his concerns at the time (during the McCarthy era) about censorship and the threat of book burning in the United States"

The book is about censorship and the destruction of knowledge, two things Datacoin will fight with his permanent and decentralised storage


It could be a sentence/quote too.


Give your idea Smiley
