'''''[https://frostydata.com/0Kdata/ Data freezer]''''' was a BOINC-based [[wikipedia:Volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] project focused on experimental distributed data storage and data deduplication using consumer hardware. The project proposed building a decentralized storage warehouse using spare capacity on devices such as old SSDs, smartphones, and MicroSD cards.<ref name="about">{{cite web |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240915225040/https://frostydata.com/0Kdata/about.php |title=About Data freezer |website=Data freezer |access-date=2026-05-19}}</ref> | |||
