I think that proof-of-work approach to blockchain can make ddos attacks much harder, but I'm not an expert too :)
I figured that every node would need to scrap the site, in order to validate the content. If there are thousands of nodes, that would ddos the site.
I don't really understand how PoW would solve that, can you explain?
with cryptocurrencies the blockchain is distributed, its not stored centrally. your idea could work similarly
I think it can be done like a NFTs on top of Bitcoin. In this case evey archived page is NFT and all the blockchain is available, so there is no centralized cite. If each action will require some computations (PoW) then ddos attack or spam attack will be very hard to implement.
Thats for proving its untampered with right? I'm more thinking of validating the archive copy is a "true" copy when adding it initially, which requires each node to check against the live site?
Its definitely an intriguing idea though, but I don't know enough to know how feasable it can be
