I think space is becoming a reasonable frontier. Until then, something IPFS base...

This is maybe one of the few use cases where a cryptocurrency can help; in a similar vein to the effectiveness of BitTorrent.

Specifically, Filecoin (built by the IPFS folks) could be used as a datastore for git. You can send DMCAs to pseudonymous Filecoin operators all you want; but the content will still be up if one operator keeps hosting it.

Hopefully it will also encourage all commits and repositories to be PGP signed (and not through a centralized FVEY platform), strengthening security, authenticity, and trust.

Filecoin isn't a datastore, it's a coin. IPFS is the datastore. However, I'd probably use something that works better, maybe Dat or Zeronet.

Space-based crypto-funded storage for guaranteeing that one operator.

The best part about non-GEO satellites is that, although you can't see them 24/7 from one location, that also makes it incredibly difficult to jam their uplinks continuously.
