 Is it a nostr innovation or is it nothing to do with nostr? 🤔

 Most likely, the files are stored on relays

 I was wrong, it's not storage in relays. You sign storage with your Nostr keys

 Lol 😂 

It's just Nostry stuff, so it's cool

I just know you can host files on a publicly accessible server

 Can blossom help save archivedotorg 🤔 #asknostr

 Think of it as a cloud drive where you save stuff using your keys instead of a username and password 

It's publicly accessible

 No, archive.org is over 1000x bigger and already has ipfs so does not need blossom

 If the infrastructure running blossom grows, yes. 

But isn't archive an open source project already? It'd probably be ideal to build a plug-in for archive to use blossom as a backend, then folks could save what they want on their personal blossom servers (get this into start9) and then a nostr based front end for archive could be spun up, you plug in the url and it searches the various blossom servers in your wot and presents you the results, would be ideal to charge 1 sat per page or something to cover infrastructure cost.
