enuff of the fluffs, to truly allow users "own" their data we need:
1. store data on their own server or locally on their device
2. store data on a public ledger/storage network with guaranteed data availability, and .. encrypted

This is very different from owning assets where it is sufficient to just own the key

building degencast.wtf /degencast . ex-bitmain, binance

So the ideal value prop of "data wallet" should include data sync/backup on client device (browser extension, desktop app, mobile)

again this is much heavier than asset wallet where we only need to make sure the keys are persisted and secure

comparing to running their own "server", local-first seems to be the most viable approach as far as distribution and adoption are concerned

rather ignorant on storj. will check it out

Isn’t #2 what Storj does? Not only is data encrypted immediately at upload, but it’s sharded into like 60 pieces and geo-scattered. Something like 18-20 or so pieces are only needed to fetch/decrypt

🤝 🤝 🤝  I think the recent twitter, reddit, stackoverflow sagas have demonstrated what's the problem.. but "the path" to an alternative future is not really clear

disco.xyz also trying to market it their product as a backpack and it's a good analogy but GTM is what I am struggling to figure out atm

This is the self bank product I’m building because what you describe is exactly what I personally want also. Now combine that I own it with the fact that I’m willing to sell it in certain ways…

because knowing is finding the limits /outercorps

Yes and "no serious mass market product" my android storage stats say otherwise tho. You could easily find apps with >1 GB storage. Encrypted data in distributed system is another route. It is just tricky to make sure the data is available without relying on chains like arweave or filecoin

zk tech will do that. also possible with encrypted data stored in distributed systems and shared by request. no serious mass market product will require storage of large quantities of data locally.
