ArDrive just got TURBOCHARGED⚡️🐘
We shipped ArDrive v2.6 - our most streamlined version to date 🥳
Using Arweave now happens entirely within ArDrive🐘
v2.6 introduces wallet generation, seed phrase login, & Turbo - a payment & bundle upload service for ArDrive & the permaweb.
ArDrive’s mission is making permanent data accessible to everybody - saving, sharing, downloading, and accessing that data has gotten much easier today 🐘🥳
Android users can now download

Getting a hold of $AR can be a pain 😩🤬
Good news though! Uploads of 100KB or less are now 🆓 to all ArDrive users 🤯
That means users will be able to create Drives, rename folders, move files, & generate manifests with our web & mobile app 🚀🐘
Yesterday we rolled out v2.5 of our app - it adds $U tags for all $AR uploads made through ArDrive 🐘
If $U isn't for you, there are immutable versions of ArDrive that live on the permaweb that don't include this feature 🤯
That's the power of Arweave 💪🐘
$U 🫵 gotta try this! 👀
ArDrive v2.5.0 has been released, adding $U to all uploads made with our web & mobile app 🥳
$AR spent storing data permanently on Arweave through ArDrive mints 1:1 $U that can be used across the permaweb 🐘🫡

#permanent
storage?
We've released v1.44 of ArDrive-App & with it comes large public file uploads 🐘🐘🐘
Due to browser limits, public file uploads were capped at 1.192GiB - v1.44 removes those limits. This feature will extend to private Drives soon.
Give it a try & let us know what you think!
One of our goals for 2022 is to make sure the team gets together beyond the work we put into ArDrive.
Hello from the team making it easy & fun to save your data forever on
@ArweaveTeam
!
Arweave holds 25TB+ of data & finding quality information can be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
We're putting up 3 $AR & launching a Public Drive Bounty to rebuild the Library of Alexandria!
TL;DR -
Arweave is a natural solution for
#NFT
asset and metadata storage 🐘
We put together a handy guide that answer any questions you might have about non-fungible tokens and how ArDrive fits in 👇
In a world of monthly subscriptions 💸 & renting your data storage, ArDrive helps you shift to owning your data with one-time payments.
Start today with no sign up or credit card necessary!
8/ We publish daily to Arweave a CSV with all the metrics on all collector addresses
This can be used by Meme Lab artists, ReMemers to build their own airdrops or allowlists.
Can data really be stored forever?
It can if you incentivize it properly ⚖️ Arweave aims to do this with a few novel mechanisms and the power of blockchain 🐘
There's no delete button for data stored on Arweave but there is a hide button for it on ArDrive 🐘
Hide the files you don't want to see in your Drive, including Pins, for a cleaner file management experience 🫡

Arweave changes the way humans interact with data storage by making it tamper proof, fault tolerant, and paid for 🐘

Arweave is broadly decentralized & has plenty of data storage redundancy but it does not have a native organizational hierarchy - the way that files are arranged in folders on your computer.
Enter the Arweave File System 👇

Some applications, like

's Turbo program, even have completely free uploads!
With Turbo, files under 500KB can be uploaded completely for free, and larger files can be paid for with a credit or debit card in fiat currencies.
That's free file storage, forever.
Everything on your phone/social media/cloud storage is safe...until it isn't 😳
Add a decentralized data storage option to your backups and get the peace of mind that comes with Arweave, made easy by ArDrive 🐘
My iCloud was hacked the other night. Not sure how (although I got the password changed email exactly the same minute I tweeted about Siri being bad...)
Hacker changed the phone number on the account, so there's nothing Apple can do.

With ArDrive you get true, secure, permanent data ownership where you control your data and who has access to it.
Take back control of your data. Getting started has never been easier!
Question: Is it yet possible for open-source AI models to be encrypted and stored on the Bitcoin blockchain or another?
Feels like that is the one chance we have of not allowing AI models to get censured and open to all.
