Do you think projects should improve with the use cases they offer ?

[SavvyTon]

With the recent security issues that’s been happening lately, I’ve become extra cautious. Earlier while i was checking online for more ways to store and keep one’s assets, i came across a data storage network that claimed to be decentralized. Actually that wasn’t the exact thing i was searching for but the use case was what caught my attention.

As someone who deals with media a lot, i was not aware there’s a decentralized data storage system now or i’m i the only one in the dark ?

Apparently this project Walrus, provides efficient data storage solutions by storing and delivering raw data like videos, images and PDFs. I also like the fact that it supports web applications.

I find stuffs like this interesting because most projects nowadays just seem to be repeating the use cases of projects in the past. This is not me hyping it, i just find it cool. Do you also think projects should have more improved use cases ?

Decentralized data storage have been around for long time, although i don't how decentralized is it in practice. CoinGecko even made price comparison back on 2023, Centralized vs Decentralized Storage Cost (2023) .

I searched "project walrus" on Google Search, but it shows unrelated stuff (such as video game, android application and DARPA project).

In general, i agree we definitely need cryptocurrency/blockchain project with use-case other than speculation, investment or payment method. Although IMO not all use-case is suitable or needed to be done on decentralized or blockchain system.

i have heard of projects like this before it only made sense with how sensitive our data are and just how much everyone has reevaluated the protection of their privacy

of course

crypto should be about innovation but most people are just in here for some quick profits not knowing that a project with a very innovative and functional tech can gain more genuine interest or attention and is more likely to keep people interested in

But, no matter how good the project related to decentralized storage is, IMO it will only attract a small part of the market... why? Because currently some competitors for cloud storage or other centralized storage, it is more interesting and even has mature services... different if we look for the concept of "decentralized" only, maybe there are different choices...

Some projects that are already popular and centralized, try to make a decentralized version, for the success rate we all know it is very low... while investors need money that grows, nothing else.. in the cryptocurrency world, the hype is what is interesting, even though it is garbage...

I believe that’s how people could get to invest in your project: there is something innovative in your project, and it will be the attraction or key highlight of the project that they would be buying for. That’s just how the world works now, and I think there is nothing you can do about it.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Of course a sincere project should have an improvement upon all these, not all of them can be so trusted, but each time we have the intention on investing on any, this should be part of our main focus because the way of their performance also rely on it, we can take time in searching more on other things, but the use case is as important as any other valuable information we may require to know about any new project, because there lies the intention and purpose for the creation of such and where applicable.

Hopefully we get to see more projects with good use case that can exist for a long term. It’s really great to see projects with real utility especially now that scam projects are all over. If you search for “walrus decentralized storage” you should find it. By the way, which use case do you think is not suitable to be decentralized ?

Yes, if a project has a valuable use case, it will definitely attract more investors. Interestingly, projects with utility always thrive on a longterm but developers nowadays just want to build projects with the aim of making quick profits.

Allowing people to store their data being the use case seem a cool project and the token being the way to access them?
A token with a use case is sure one reason to invest into. The storage classification on coinmarketcap is where Walrus belong I can see it listed below.

This must be new project, it doesn't have a data yet on CMC but if I am to invest among them, I might just choose the BitTorrent  (BTT).

A good and innovative project should make a new breakthrough and combine it with crypto and of course some projects come up with excellent solutions for the ease of every transaction or various platforms like the one you mentioned about Walrus.

But some old projects that have not been successful and are still very relevant to be developed today can certainly be developed again or reborn with a new brand, it will be better even if you have to repeat everything.

In short, most use case that require data from real life (such as weather data or location of your package).

I've seen this BTT coin few times, but what are it's use cases? After all, we can use torrent software to download/upload stuff without needing this BTT coin.

I am happy to burst this on you that you are in dark as this is not something out of the box, distributed storage platforms are in the market from long ago and they have real use cases. They had their time and many were categorized in Iot sector. These platforms are serious problem solvers, and besides decentralized data storage points from crypto projects many other centralized projects like Google, and Amazon provide decentralized data storage facilities.

This is not new. I never heard about this project before and it feels like you are just recreating this posts into a way to advertise that project if I am not wrong.

The token is used to pay the users participating in p2p file sharing in the Bittorrent decentralized storage. The price had not improved though but over time I think it will really go wild one day after all sharing makes everyone happy.

Most tokens are only useful in their own ecosystem for now. Even the top tokens are just going to be useful inside its own ecosystem. Its use case as payment will only be working if another platform accepts the token as payment.

In the reality these kinds of concept of these project wasn't bad at it all, but the problem is in the long run they get failed to compete their giants competitors what is centralized storage platform.
And one more problem is these kinds of privacy projects were lessly approved to get listed on the reputable centralized exchangers.
And that is why there will be low demand and that will be decrease day by day for example I can say the Utopia project.

[memehunter]

Does it encrypt the data before divinding it inot parts and storing it in multiple places?
