Infinite Data - demo
Using Render’s free tier as a cheap, disposable proxy, you can try Infinite Data with a single, password-protected megabyte. That’s it — one megabyte, zipped and encrypted on your end.
Before you send your 1 mb we want to ensure I cannot read the data. So, on the frontend you’ll get a pack of normal compression tools (throw whatever chainable tricks you like at it). Mix methods, stack compressions and try different configuration — sometimes that gets you weird, surprisingly dense results. The point is: you do the pre-compressing and you keep the password. I never see your keys. What touches my Render box is gibberish; what I hand back is gibberish. We both pretend the rest is complicated physics and call it a day.
Here’s the user flow in plain words: you compress locally, you upload one encrypted meg, I give you a tiny artifact — roughly 100 bytes — that represents your file. Store that 100-byte thing somewhere safe. Want the file back later? Drop the 100 bytes into my site and I hand your encrypted megabyte back. For demo purposes, I route uploads through Render so I don't have to deal with a bunch of nonsense on my router. Also Render has limits; when I’ve pushed enough traffic through them, people will stop screaming “scam” and start worrying that it's really real instead.
The Paid model will be stupidly simple: one token = one compress OR one restore, up to 100 MB. I don’t care. If you want my service, you pay with a token and get your job done. No arguments. No refunds. No tech support. No theater. I cannot make it simpler and I have no intention of trying.
The interesting upcoming business is going to be video camera storage. My target is $1 per camera per month for unlimited recording. That’s the hopeful cash cow. I’ve got a first prototype customer with 16 cameras coming online; that will show where the field problems actually live.
Remember your upload is my download — hosting and bandwidth cost money. I do believe that once I have gear on site I can compress the hell out of the operating cost and get that lower per camera. But this is a prototype turning into a real billable service. I’ll iron the wrinkles in the field, then open it up commercially. Again: small, discrete steps. No hype, no fund-raising horseplay.
A few blunt realities so nobody gets cute:
-
I don’t want VC. I don’t want a board. I don’t owe anyone an explanation.
-
I won’t run a helpdesk. There is no support line. If you screw something up or lose your 100-byte artifact, that’s on you.
-
If my systems die or I stop running this, reconstructions stop. No miracles, no refunds, no warm apologies. That’s risk. Pay less, risk more. Pay more, risk less — up to you.
-
I won’t be impressed by your outrage or your internet sleuthing. Use the thing, or don’t.
The method? Proprietary. I’m not publishing the recipe. I’m not handing out schematics or stepping stones. I will show you results and a demo; I will not teach you the magic. If somebody rips this off and then stands on stage claiming they invented “Quantum Compression,” fine — let them have their day. When that happens, I’ll publish the book and the math and flip my GitHub public. Until then, you get the demo, the token model, and the simplest, most merciless terms: pay a token, get your job done, move on.
If you’re reading this and want to test the demo: do your compression on your side, encrypt it, upload the 1 MB to the demo endpoint, and grab your 100-byte vlt. Try it a few times. If it feels impossible, that’s by design — you weren’t supposed to understand the plumbing, only the outcome.
Bottom line: this is a service, not a sermon. It either helps you or it doesn’t. I built a way to make data tiny and useful for specific workloads — mainly cheap, dumb camera storage that doesn’t need a lawyer to manage. I don’t need your blessing. If you want to be part of it, buy tokens and use it. If you want a full explanation, wait until someone else claims the glory and I publish the book. Until then, pay a token, get your file, and send your opinions to someone who cares.
