I have 250GB that I want to ensure survive for as long as human greed can keep the blockchains spinning. I will even pay you $1000 for this service. Can it be done? Perhaps using Dero or Etherum?

If this is not possible could it be made possible by for example paying people crypto to store data on their hard drives like a "Wide Area RAID" or something like that? I don't care, it just has to be unstoppable.

Finally, if this is all possible one way or another but there is currently no easy of doing it then I intend to make a website that makes this process seamless and easy. Maybe I will even store it on multiple blockchains just to be extra sure. Plus I'm so cool I won't even bring up how I'll encrypt their data for them so that only they can unlock it with a password and I'll be completely open and provide lots of information about how the encryption is done but you won't even know unless you click on the question mark next to the encrypt checkbox. I'm pretty sure it will make me a million dollars. Or should I say, a million bitcoin.

Filecoin/IPFS is on top.

Sounds like you'd want to use the top 2 or 3.

Top by market cap has changed over time, you might even want to use more than 3, it's hard to say what will last.

Look into lbry.com

It is a blockchain storage system for media of all types and is the backbone of odysee.com

It distributes this media over all users machines in a separated and encrypted way that is reassembled for download.

It has automatic redundancy to preserve things.

I think it the top technology in this area right now and is in wide use by various well known places like odysee.com storing tons of material.

To directly use lbry for uploading documents or data download it for whatever operating system you use like Windows here https://lbry.com/get

Looks like a torrent site. Sure it works for hilarious movies like Ghostbusters 2016 but who would donate a gb of hard drive space for my taxidermy nature documentary?

Have you tried memorizing it?

Look into Arweave.

You can store very small amount of data on the bitcoin blockchain and it's there forever. There are rumors of cp being put into the bitcoin blockchain.

Not 250gb though.

I believe that blockchains store checksums not data. Your checksum could be data but you're not going to save gigs or even mb this way, and you wouldn't really want to store data this way.

Instead what I'd suggest is pcloud. They have a lifetime one time fee to store data, they are stored in different countries, can tailor to your legal needs, and have a very good API. $200 bucks I think, I don't work for them or anything like that but I do think that they kick ass.
