🐜 The Antvengers (Club 1TB)

Hello friends,

after MaidSafe’s recent success with fee reductions, it’s time to form a team - The Antvengers! :happyant: Here is the idea:

:brain: The Antvengers 1TB Club

Welcome to Antvengers 1TB Club — the most entertaining underground society of people who have uploaded at least 1 terabyte to the Autonomi network.
We’re not here for profit — we’re here for the pure joy of sharing, experimenting, and living in digital infinity.


:bullseye: Our Mission

To prove that a handful of nodes and a few crazy minds can build something greater than any centralized corporation.
We believe that data is art, archiving is play, and the network is an endless stage.


:puzzle_piece: What We Do

  • Upload at least 1 TB (or more) of data to the Autonomi network
  • Share the weirdest, most beautiful, and most meaningless files saved from oblivion
  • Host ā€œData Gamesā€ — challenges for the most creative or bizarre archives
  • Build collaborative time capsules, digital exhibitions, and thematic experiments
  • And most importantly — have fun without limits (as @JimCollinson likes to say)

:alien_monster: Membership

To become a member of the Antvengers 1TB Club, you must:

  1. Upload at least 1 TB of data to Autonomi
  2. Prove it with a Ant’s Nest link / hash / Dave screenshot
  3. Write a short description of your content, for example: ā€œCollection of internet memes gathered between 2008–2025ā€ or ā€œArchive of obscure music projects from around the worldā€*

If you are applying for membership in the club with publicly available links, they must contain information that you have rights to or is in the public domain and free to share.


:dna: What You Get

  • Inclusion in the official Antvengers 1TB Club Wall of Fame
  • A unique forum badge as a ā€œAntvengerā€
  • Access to the private forum category ā€œThe Ant Towerā€
  • Invitations to club events like Data Night, Archive Wars, and Autonomi Day
  • And, of course, that glorious sense that we are participating in a historic event

:high_voltage: Motto

ā€œAntvengers, Assemble!ā€

I wonder if you can transfer uploads to other users on the Network? would be fun…
For instance, I want to upload: Nexus from Yuval Noah Harari, because it should be one of the immortal :books:

Later if Yuval decides to make use of the Network, I could transfer him his data. Might even be a way to get youtubers on the Network.

Anomous :ant:: youtube blew your :brain: out :exploding_head: :water_pistol:
What About It: What About It?
Anomous :ant:: Well, what about Et, I’ve uploaded your spacetrips on a Network where nobody can :water_pistol: it down!
What About It: What About It?
I’ll stop here, because I can’t tell where this story is going

I wonder if there are also timestamps on the Network for data? Would be handy…

You can upload a specific file with a separate private key and then share the key. That way only people with the key will have access to the file. If you delete your copy of the key, it only remains with the person you gave it to.

It is not right to upload data that you do not have rights to and is not free for public upload. If you bought the data you can probably make a private copy.

This is a very good idea, there are 1-2 YouTubers that I enjoy and I will ask them for permission to make a copy of their videos on Autonomi so that they survive for future generations. Antvengers, Assemble!

There is no such thing, the user may have put it as metadata, but you can’t believe he didn’t lie. The closest we have is the AntChain idea where you know that a file was uploaded before another because each subsequent file points to the data address of the previous file in a continuous chain.

Scratch that - there is a way to timestamp on the network. If you upload files that are in an AntChain capsule with a given private key, then all blockchain transactions from that address will have a timestamp and you will be able to prove the sequence by comparing it with the AntChain - for example, the first file in the chain will correspond to the first transaction, the second file to the second transaction, and so on.

And to make it clear that the transactions are to a specific address - each AntChain capsule can start with a text file - this is the AntChain of a specific blockchain address - and the file can be signed with the address’s private key.

Love it! Some fun that everyone can enjoy!

I’ve got a few videos to upload and some more coming (once I make them! Ha!), which would be good candidates.

It would be great to have a re-spin of using archives (public or tarchive) to group a series of videos for playing too. A bit like what IMIM does with markdown files. You could then watch a ā€˜channel’, with all of the ā€˜videos’ (mp4 files) in it.

Anyway, I digress! :laughing:

Can we please lean a little bit harder into totally obscure references that only OG dorks and nerds will get and lap up without question?

I did think about the blockchain tx as timestamp, but in all honesty, blockchains are just data on the Network.

Dave needs to behave, because it was showing a ā€˜created’ date when i uploaded a file, later it was showing a updated date, ā€œmuch laterā€ as in :sponge:Bob it was showing unknown. Now after updating Dave is not showing my uploads or files in my vault, Dave needs a good 455 whooping I don’t know yet if I should use my Kuiper Belt :sweat_smile:…

This is how adults think, my mind is that of a child, I can upload it as public data and give him the privatekey :sweat_smile: fun fact: I wouldnt be able to upload ā€˜Nexus’ if it wasnt already available online… Nothing is more ā€˜:ghost: @ction @ a distance’ then somebody else knowing the privatekey, data address and nexus.mp4 on the Network :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

You deserve a yum-yum for that.
