RE: What Would "Controlling Your Own Data" Actually Look Like on Steem?
#3 uses a third location... the blockchain metadata will be there still (and unchanged) but pointing to nothing after the third location is "forfeited"...
Basically after the timeout, you should not "believe in the destination". Kind of like pointing to an IPFS location that has encoded data pointing you somewhere with a dependency on time. After that "particular" time, the decoder will show you nothing... or something not useful.
Assuming you know the password, you can reverse clock back and if the source is still available, see the data, but if you don't know the password... it is useless...
I know it's not perfect... and I am still thinking about how to make it bullet proof... but so far, I like the idea.
Interesting. So something like snapchat where the content only lives for a short period of time. It seems somewhat centralized to me.
It is, that was the part I was trying to say that is hard to decentralize (at least to my knowledge).
