The advantage of certain other blockchain platforms (such as #Arweave) is that any type of media (even videos and apps themselves) can be put directly onto the blockchain, though every megabyte costs a certain amount of tokens (depending on network conditions). 💸🤓

How on earth do they store media directly on the blockchain? That seems horribly inefficient. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I haven't searched about them in detail, but I found out that publishing even a very short comment there may take more than 10 minutes to get added to the blockchain, not to mention the higher fees required when more and/or bigger transactions are pending. 💸🤯🤓

Yikes, so it's inefficient, slow, and expensive...lol! I got to say that this information does not give me motivation to explore it. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I wonder what would happen if the Hive blockchain gets a fork where anyone can put a huge amount of data per post or comment (let's say up to 20 megabytes per post), provided that the Hive account has enough Resource Credits to support such transaction !INDEED. 💸🤯😅

Storing large amounts of data, especially media files, directly on the blockchain never goes well. A far better solution is to have a decentralized data layer, like Qortal has with QDN (Qortal Data Network). 😁🙏💚✨🤙

While there are !INDEED benefits to putting large amounts of data directly onto a blockchain, it is (very) likely that the drawbacks clearly outweigh the benefits. 🤯🤓

From everything that I've seen on that matter, that is certainly true. Sure, there are always some benefits to doing anything, but yeah, sometimes the drawbacks make it quite untenable in practical terms. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Not to mention there also is the lack of Resource Credits system (at least on those platforms on what I already found), so there won't be practically free data stored on those blockchains simply by staking tokens there. 💸🤯🤓
