Part 1: Problem Description

We have already integrated Arweave as the provider of our file service, by which users can upload any type of file and attach it to a social network post. To extend this capability and provide more options for our users, we would like to add more providers such as Sia. You might need to figure out how to create a micro-service to help pay for user's storage fees just like what we did with Arweave. Official help from Sia team can be directly linked in this bounty.

hey @septs, i'm interested in this issue

[yisiliu]

@mul53 Hi! Do you want to test out our extension and see how file service works before starting the bounty? Thank you!

[mul53]

@yisiliu let me do that, let me take a look at the docs, thanks for the fast response

@septs and @yisiliu, to encrypt attached we need a skykID, can we make everyone sign with a single skykeyID from the maskbook?

hi @developerfred FYI. heres how we did for the AR integration:

https://arweave.net/vRJSopHVcFXwbhQVMaWBDm-UxBefN1BLoVsxXOQFWQU#xi4hApj0pTDKefNf

#xi4hApj0pTDKefNf is the AES key.

if you open up https://arweave.net/vRJSopHVcFXwbhQVMaWBDm-UxBefN1BLoVsxXOQFWQU then you need to have the key.

For skynet/sia - whats ur proposal? we can do several iteration to achieve both decentralized and UX friendly -

[developerfred]

@Tedko In my code I made a new tab on the toggle placing two skynet and Arweave options. The users chooses in which service to host his file, but the skynet has N portals to host this file I randomly put it every time a user is going to upload, a portal and set it.

[Tedko]

@developerfred cool! Idk sia/sc 's token model. I assume (if I remember correctly) the file storage sometime is free? But need to pay sc later? (Asking so in case we need sc; we can prepare on our side and ping SC ppl)

@Tedko can we do as Gitcoin does when claiming kudos? asking for some SIA for the fee?
