Notes from the .eth Website Subgroup call that inspired this idea

Draft proposal for DAO-sponsored IPFS nodes

Summary

Fund the creation of open-source infrastructure that will further decentralize .eth websites via IPFS and IPNS (and arweave ?).

Software deliverables

• A software that manages pins on an IPFS node
• Guide so anyone can run a node
• Uptime monitor
• Pin checker

Ongoing support

• 2-3 servers should be run by different teams in the ENS community in different jurisdictions on a server of their choosing (besides AWS, Google Cloud, and Digital Ocean).
  • Ideally, each team will use a different server provider.
  • These servers will each run an IPFS node with the pinning software mentioned above.
  • This should also consider costs of an ETH RPC provider
• Each team will be responsible for their own moderation, which will be public via the pin checker
  • A sort of TOS will need to be included in their application for support

Notes

• We should limit the size of the content pinned so one person cant store a huge video and take up all the server resources. Maybe 100mb?
• Size of different types of .eth websites
• FrozenFire claims the total size of “small” website is around 15GB.
