Ex.: If you lose your account - you lose all your dataIt’s slow (upload/download)File size limit of 2Gb (which is pretty good for a messenger app, but still not sufficient)No guaranteed storage period. Your data may become unavailable at any timeSolution: A decentralized Filecoin storage via Telegram interface that is truly yours. Store and share ANY Files of ANY Size for ANY Time you need.Accessible from everywhere for ANY app or serviceKeep track of all your uploaded Filecoin files (local index)Private and Secure: A)we don’t have an access to you files; B)dApp runs completely on users deviceValue Proposition: Convenient (quick & simple) access to Filecoin's decentralized storage to ~1B Telegram users.Next Steps (after hackathon):Integration in CTRL Wallet AppShared storage for Telegram CommunitiesBuilt-in encryption (encrypt file before uploading it to Filecoin)Backup all data from Telegram account to Filecoin storage (chat history, photos and other media)
