So I reached out the Fernando on X. But I have an idea we can seize an opportunity that would really be amazing and I was able to use ChatGPT to create a PoC for what I would want to see us build.

ChatGPT even coded it lol.

You ever here the first one to seize the opportunity when an old popular service goes perma into read-only and perhaps is done with it's days storing new information - or snapshots?

>>ZeroHedge article on the end of Wayback Machine, spider crawling, snapshots, and the record of the web as it was without stealth editing:

Somethings that we can do this cheap and create an exact functioning product without risk of shutting down like their DDOS and password attack hacks.

We have the blockchain - we have the coins in our control. We have merge mining and the CSV files for participation and use.

We can to a front end - we can have toolbar - we can hash the timestamp and url on the DVC chain, we can query that from the UI toolbar and each url hash is located and displays the time of each snap form the url per the timestamp.

And the snapshot can be retrieved from the reading of the DVC block timestamp for the url req and then display that on the Web UI and be just like the Wayback Machine and web dot archive dot org.

Except unlike ZeroHedge article - IT cant be hacked - its decentralized - we even make people buy DVC for running their queries to get them to buy off FreiExchange with BTC. There's also incentive to use our CSV distributions to send out DVC rewards for running more DVC nodes. And then we can use an ArDrive and have our own tokens for using it that are also pegged to the value of DVC so we profit that way too.

Call me crazy but when you step in first when there's a longtime highly needed product that is no longer crawling and storing - we can use this concept to be first to replace it.

DVC - to the moon?

I don't want anyone seeing the code ChatGPT4o came up with Fernando has all of it.

Obv it'll change.

But this was just an abstract:

Code:

This version archives web snapshots by storing them permanently on Arweave via ArDrive and timestamping each entry on the Bitcoin blockchain for verifiable authenticity. Here’s how it works:

Snapshot Capture and Upload: A web crawler takes a screenshot of a webpage and uploads it to ArDrive, generating a permanent Arweave link for the image.

Blockchain Timestamping: The Arweave link and timestamp are hashed together and recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain in an OP_RETURN transaction, creating an immutable timestamp for authenticity.

Metadata Storage: URL, timestamp, Arweave link, and Bitcoin transaction ID are saved in a local database for easy lookup.

Web UI Display: A Wayback Machine-style UI allows users to search by URL and view snapshots by date (M/D/Y format). Each snapshot can be displayed via its Arweave link, with the Bitcoin timestamp shown for verification.

This system provides decentralized, tamper-proof archiving with reliable access and verifiable timestamps, creating a robust, censorship-resistant web archive.

Sounds very interesting and as nescessity is the mother of all invention then quite useful. Looks like something not only Devcoin could look into but probably collaborate with the likes of Namecoin even.
