Data freezer

Data freezer is a BOINC based volunteer computing project that needs your help to build a data warehouse on consumer hardware.

Why Data freezer?

To find a technical group of enthusiasts who will understand the meaning and be inspired!

Goal

The main goal of the project is to build a data warehouse on consumer hardware, which is not usually used for this. (old SSDs, old smartphones, MicroSD cards, etc). If successful, you can either make a profit or donate the power to charity.https://frostydata.com/0Kdata/about.php

Data freezer is intended to be a commercial venture in the future.

Methods

Data storage on distributed SSDs;Continuous verification of data integrity, calculation of crypto hashes of stored data random blocks;

Using calculated crypto hashes for data deduplication;

The first set of data is useful for collecting a large volume of “key”: “value” pairs, where the key is a cryptohash, the value is a data block.

Then we can create our own service based on this project. Or provide a commercial deduplication service.https://frostydata.com/0Kdata/forum_thread.php?id=4

Is it unreliable? The number of replicas solves the problem. Even if all copies are lost, there is a solution! Reliable servers store data that is many orders of magnitude smaller. From which we can restore the original data!

Let's Imagine an algorithm that can restore the original data from a cryptohash without collisions. This is impossible? Usually not possible... But in some cases for some data it is still possible. And we’ll use this opportunity!
