Overview

Distributed Storage is a core concept in TinyCloud’s architecture. It involves storing user data across a network of distributed nodes rather than in a centralized server. This method is aimed at giving users more control over their data, ensuring privacy and improving data accessibility.

Key Features

  • Network of Nodes: Data is stored in a network of distributed nodes, which can include personal devices such as a node in the user’s basement.
  • Permissioned Storage: Users can determine who has access to their data and set time limits for access, enhancing security and privacy.
  • User Control: The approach highlights the importance of user-controlled data, preventing unauthorized surveillance by third parties like Facebook.

Associated Concepts

  • AI Pendants: Devices that capture and store user data, enabling recall of important information while ensuring data is user-controlled and not accessible to third parties.
  • Data Sovereignty: Ensures users have ownership and control over their personal data, leveraging cryptographic signatures for managing permissions and access.
  • Compute on Personal Data: Users can perform computations and run models on their data without compromising privacy, supporting secure data processing.

Applications

  • Personal Data Management: Allows various applications to access user data through a specific interface, enhancing interoperability and supporting various use cases like language learning, personal therapy, and daily planning.
  • Knowledge Graph: Converts unstructured data into structured knowledge, facilitating better data management and recall.

Vision

  • Interoperability: Aims for seamless data exchange between personal devices and applications, creating a customizable user interface tailored to individual needs.
  • Economic Model: Potential subscription fee for storage and compute services, aiming to reduce costs with technological advancements.
  • Open Source Commitment: Ensures transparency and user trust through an open-source architecture.

Insights

  • Founder Insights: The importance of user-controlled data suggests a paradigm shift in personal information storage and utilization.
  • Community Involvement: Strong engagement with developer communities in Argentina underscores the emphasis on privacy and ethical data usage.
