RE: Brainstorming new BOINC projects!
Full decentralization of a BOINC web server
There's certainly been attempts at decentralizing a BOINC project's storage in the past, but as far as I'm aware there has yet to be a fully decentralized BOINC project.
Do you think it could be possible? Especially if we were to scale back the web server (remove features).

I reckon www.sia.tech might qualify as doing that, the working files would be centralised but they could be backed up to acheive the resiliency.
Yeah but that's still just decentralized storage, it wouldn't decentralize the server (as in like, a P2P server).
We really need to discuss the ethics of a decentralized BOINC server.
