Flux crypto as proof of work reward for offering up p2p servers.... interesting... interesting
Nitter runs on their platform too... wtf... I didn't know !
Just discovered decentralized cloud service Flux, while I was looking into Truth Social/Rumble Cloud... what a great idea !

Looks interesting and cheaper than what I'm paying for.
It doesn't say anything about content policies. I would want to know that we won't get banned.
They are going to have to work really hard to get people to care about their crypto otherwise no one will host a node. If no one host a node in practice it will be no more decentralized than any other docker host provider.
At this time it looks to be pretty centralized in that only they run nodes.

Yeah, they have an "approval" process for the docker images.... I get it, because they are likely a startup and have to protect against reputational damage from malware etc
What I will try to investigate is if they have an open source equivalent, where people don't need to depend on Flux the company
However, I think for technical reasons, i.e. port forwarding, you would need a provider, unless you are willing to rent a public IP + forwarding or if your ISP supports port forwarding. Mine doesn't
Otherwise the tech stack looks good.

Trash don't want it. That would drastically reduce it's usefulness.
