bitcoin-fs

Convert any file to a series of bitcoin addresses.

npm install bitcoin-fs

Usage

var bitcoinfs = require('bitcoin-fs')
 
// encode
bitcoinfs.encode(filename,
  function(addresses) {
    addresses.forEach(function(address) {
      console.log(address)
    }) 
  })
 
// decode
bitcoinfs.decode(filename,
  function(data) {
    process.stdout.write(data)
  })
 

Or, from the command-line:

npm install -g bitcoin-fs
bitcoin-fs encode test.txt >out.addresses
bitcoin-fs decode out.addresses >test.v2.txt

Why?

Once data has been converted to a series of valid bitcoin addresses, it can be stored in the blockchain by including the addresses as recipients of transactions.

This is not a cheap way to backup data, but it is perhaps a very persistent one.
