How does adding crypto fix this problem? I presume it's to incentivize peers into retaining and serving the content, but who's going to pay? The author? The viewer? How is either going to work for long tail content that's been abandoned by the author?
It doesn't fix the problem yet, it attempts to solve the lack of incentive to contribute to networks like ipfs/tor. All blockchain with reward based storage solutions I've tried so far don't meet expectations.
To this day, the Internet archive project is the most contributing solution to persistent Web information.
