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.

The cast. Plus, nobody is really interested in the truth, just fudding.
