THE ETERNAL WORD OF GOD
"The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
Psalms 12:6-7

The Risks
Regrettably, there are many countries with legal or customary restrictions on the Bible. While a total ban is rare, some countries like North Korea punish anyone in possession of religious literature by death or imprisonment. In other less extreme locations it is common for ownership or distribution of the Bible to be highly limited.
The Problem
In many places around the world, printed Bibles may be a risk to own, transport or produce, but digital copies can be easily transmitted using the internet or an intranet of some kind. The problem is that most places that have public bans on the Bible also highly monitor and filter their internet usage. This is where the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) becomes ideal.
The Solution
This Bible database is built on technology called IPFS. It is designed to be highly censorship resistant and redundant. IPFS is designed to have redundant storage, local replication, and erasure coding. This ensures the data is available even if there are node dropouts or data loss. Websites using IPFS cannot be 'taken down' by any one authority. Data on IPFS is stored throughout the network without vulnerable central hubs or a single point of failure. Because IPFS is using a fully decentralized peer-to-peer network it is also more resilient against DDoS attacks than any centralized system.
CONTRIBUTE
You can help spread God's Word using IPFS by downloading and running your own IPFS node in your home country. By doing this, you will be able to host and serve decentralized web content like this for anyone who is using the IPFS network.
