Have you had a chance to try Skynet? It provides all of the same features as IPFS, but it's also a lot more performant and higher uptime. You wouldn't need a centralized node that you run yourself.

Do you have any good links to Skynet? I could just find an old GitHub repo. Is it in active use ?

[Taek]

Check out the pinned repos: https://github.com/SkynetLabs

Also https://docs.siasky.net/

Very much an actively developed project, with over 100,000 monthly active users.

The second link claims that it will store data without payment and allow extracting money in the future, with 0 mention of who is paying for the space. This is so suspicious that I almost cannot believe this is not addressed immediately.

Skynet operates on a freemium model where users get 20mbps and 100 GB of storage for free and significantly more if they pay (80mbps and 1 TB for $5/mo). This is what pays the bills, and also how things stay pinned.

I found this, I think it's what @Taek's referring to - https://siasky.net
