Just a thought

If WanaCry hackers instead of spreading ransomware they spreaded Silicon Valley Space Saver like app and the virus inside the app continued spreading itself to around 1 Million pcs, where the app would use around 5GB of storage on each pc giving the hackerd around 5 PB of storage.
Would that be possible like Silicon Valley to create a decenteralized data storage system on pcs all around the world and the app would keep spreading itself and by time expand the storage

    then you would't demand ransom, you would use a freeware tool and some hiden terms to agree.

    It could work, but Piped Piper's compression is physically impossible. It was made up by a university professor for the show.

    @620hun i am not telling about the compression but the way the app works by connecting all those devices and making a huge data storage network

    @DavidKevork it is possible. I think the difficulty would be guaranteeing redundancy for each file. It's how torrents work. If all seeders disappear the torrent goes dead.

    @620hun Now we only need a fast home connection. Nobody would like to access files on my PC at 2mbit/s 😂

    @b3b3 It could work how torrents work. Each seeder provides some parts of each file, so if a file is shared between 1000 users, you would barely notice it. I don't know, I'm not a network engineer, but I can imagine a decentralised p2p Internet.

    I could imagine a weaponized siacoin virus making money off of each unused GB on every infected device.
