To put it simply, someone had a AMAZING idea on how to backup user.json files

^^^ RElated where the idea sparked from

Basically, we can upload our user.json in a encrypted manor, and have it seeded to everyone who does this, making it secure in the way that everything is encrypted,

Make a backup file public that is encrypted by a manually given password can be problematic, as a possible attacker would have unlimited number of tries on them, so brute-forcing a 6-12 character password would not be hard.

It could be possible to encrypt it using a generated password, but then you have to backup that password, so you would be almost in the same situation.

Well a generated password would be easy to backup,
Using a password manager,

And I do understand the security risks, which is why I was thinking about doing something like this

https://www.protectedtext.com
Or even this
https://itty.bitty.site/

Both securely store the info in a way that you can easily get. Back to.

But I understand the security risks involved, which Is why it would be a good idea on paper, but also slap a big fat warning that this is nor recommended and allow a user to delete their backup from the shared network. Kinda like deleting a post.

Also, personally as I stated, I just have my entire ZeroNet folder on Mega.nz for ease and security
