I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

    You do understand that a P2P proof of work backed global store is just infrastructure? And as egalitarian as DNS servers? And it doesn’t have the storage/compute footprint of a full bitcoin node.

    The space of human-readable names is quite small, so proof of work is needed to protect it from being flooded. An alternative is to have your servers have names to be or derived from their public keys, or dissolve content from its location. Which brings its own problems.
