arweave

Arweave's "permanent storage" is a scam. Millions of files have been permanently lost, and the number continues to grow. Here's a sample of the missing files, with more to come.

@anoncast_ If you pay for your file at arweave, you can (re)upload it and every node will accept your file. Just give it a try and you'll learn that the network will seed your file on-chain tx data. It's like paying for a haircut appointment and you don't show up, and you blame the barber.

This is indeed a problem 😕 
Both claims here are entirely subjective, and it extremely difficult to say whether the uploader or the Arweave is responsible for the unavailable data. (reminds me of challenges Ethereum had with Plasma, and data unavailability faults)

In my opinion, issues like the shouldn't exit in the first place. But then even samecwilliams.twitter did mention there is some probabilistic chance of data loss and that previously lost data can be reseeded.

Honestly that doesn't explain this. 
The request response I'm getting for this tx is a 404, which should never happen with any tx that has been included to arweave.  🤔

looks to me like someone intentionally uploaded a broken image... "anon"

let me know what you turn up
I've had to query through my application data on arweave to see if any was dropped, and so far I haven't found an issues. Really curious to understand what's going on here 😥

I would really hate to migrate all of that 😕

garbage in garbage out applies to Arweave - have a question out to smarter folks than me to get a better technical explanation
