What is the purpose of replicating what is mostly garbage?
The transactions written on the blockchain are as worth as Bitcoin itself since they define the end state of each wallet (i.e. how many coins it contains). So, unless we talk about spammy 1 satoshi transactions (but even these do matter after all, provided they get confirmed), any transaction is an integral part of what makes up Bitcoin. This is not the case with sites existing in Internet. In fact, without some of them Internet would likely be even better than it is today, so I don't see any sense in such blind replication. It will be just a terrible waste of resources

True. I guess that it wouldn't be the same concept as Bitcoin, since the Internet is full of unusable content, making it a disaster if applied on a blockchain. In the end, I think that blockchain could prove its use case not to power the whole internet on it, but instead to be used as authentication method for user accounts, or even established immutable databases for a specific site.
Maybe at some point in the future, a different concept would be designed to decentralize and liberate the Internet further, but now, established solutions like Maidsafe and ZeroNet are very promising.
Qora has been able to host decentralised websites on a blockchain for some time now.

Thanks for sharing. When I first got into Qora, it seemed like NXT in its features, expect for the part of the web host. I've thought that making websites on Qora didn't rely on its blockchain, but instead on a single node/server. It's a good thing to see such concept become a reality on this advanced cryptocurrency.
