# Pixeldrain Public Beta

Note that this is an experimental version of Pixeldrain server, the Pixeldrain backend has been completely redesigned from the ground up to be more extensible, efficient and scalable. The server this web application runs on is considered a testing environment. Database resets can happen at any moment when architectural changes need to be applied.

The Sia integration is still very experimental and could fail at any moment resulting in data loss. Do not upload files to this server that you cannot afford to lose. Use the stable main server instead: https://pixeldrain.com.

But don't let all that stop you from trying the new Pixeldrain! The upload restrictions that the main site has haven't been implemented in this version yet, so you can upload as much as you want. The server only has 256 GiB of space available, if it starts running out of space files will be purged from the local filesystem and served from Sia on the next request.

## Legality

I cannot be held liable for any illegal and / or copyrighted material that's uploaded by the users of this application. Files uploaded to this website are subjected to local laws. If laws are being broken, and I've been notified of the fact I'll have to delete the offending content (as the server does not support geo filtering yet). If you find any files on this domain that break the law, please contact me at abuse@pixeldrain.com, and I'll take care of it.
Please share responsibly.

## Funding

I'm currently paying for the Sia storage myself, since the site doesn't have a revenue model yet. I'd appreciate it if you could send some Siacoins my way: 26117c19ca3975b315d663dcbbc19cf9c07274f441689d4392ed380b2337589ef1aacfbdc93f. This address goes directly to the wallet on this server which is used for uploading files to Sia :). I promise you it will be put to good use!

## Features

Here's a list of features this version of Pixeldrain has.

### New

- Files are replicated to the Sia network
