I'm not sure what to make of the monero mention, is it a requirement that you can pay anonymously? or do you have a fund that is able wire money? If you're avoiding the eye of China I suppose it's the former.

I believe there's services to "pin" content to the IPFS network, but I'd be surprised if there aren't torrent seedboxes you can pay for with crypto, but I'm afraid I'm short on specifics. Would the idea be, to keep the files available, there would be a wallet that anyone can pay into to pay for hosting ? It's what I assumed we would get with all these blockchain projects but I haven't really seen it yet, there's filecoin and arweave but I don't know if that they are trustworthy for the long haul what with the market crashing

EDIT: After reading some blogs on FileCoin it seems like they fit the bill, and I think my notion of "anyone can fund the maintainance of this specific dataset" is known as a DataDAO and maybe doesn't exist yet?
