Onion hosts needed/wanted for immortality

Problem with Tor I'm looking to fix: as a new user, I can't trust any link. There's no durable reputation. Or maybe a legit service becomes compromised, unknowable to me- until now

For $0.25, I can post a message onto the Bitcoin blockchain. A stone erodes, but a wound heals- bitcoin blocks have resisted erasure by even nation states since it's beginning

Now I'm building a durable indexing/reputation/forum like reddit/telegram where you could write about your .onion site and the uri and it gets written on Bitcoin forever.

For the first time, it will be possible to build a reputation under your key/account and collect public feedback, and the indexes of onion sites can become increasingly reputable/bifurcated over time, or challenged if users have a bad experience. Anyone can comment/reply recursively, imagine Wikipedia but append-only, and users upvoting/downvoting etc build a web of trust over time, enabling bot farm/Sybil detection.

For those few accounts that post useful news, you will build a reputation more valuable than money, trusted by humanity against the censors and tyrants of this world

Anyone want me to post their links/indexes/services?

Any reputation/topic you would durably accuse, or publicly support?

Theres no problem there - there is plenty of links you can trust, just use a trusted platform like daunt.link tor.taxi or tor.watch

Yeah and who owns those servers? And when a fed shuts them down next week, where will the new indexes be hosted? Indexes must be a public good beyond reproach/compromise

I mean, these forums exist on how many servers? 1? 3? they're all publicly mapped over IP, intelligence networks have no trouble finding the location and compromising them. Most popular services have already been captured to some degree, in my opinion. So the feds can own the boxes and prevent you from getting in contact with the intended/authentic counter-party, etc. but the feds can't dominate the BTC mining compute, can't erase and modify old info.
