Encrypted IPFS hosting, gated by Hive payment. Files are encrypted in your browser — this gate only ever stores ciphertext. Same account, same uploads as the v4call app.
⚠ Proof of concept — not production software. For tinkerers who accept the risks. Concept design — in active development. Servers can be rebooted, turned off, or replaced with no warning at any time. Please only use TEST tokens, free at the faucet: https://faucet.v4call.com/
Log in with your Hive account
recommended — your key never leaves the extension
Key login keeps the key in this tab's memory only — nothing is stored or sent anywhere except signatures. Note: payments still need Keychain (they're Active-key token transfers).
🔑 Unlock encryption — Private Send and Reveal wrap/unwrap AES keys with your posting private key (Keychain can sign, but can't do memo-encryption in-page).

Your uploads on this gate
Hit Refresh to load (signs a read-only request).
Encrypted uploads are labelled from this browser's local records — the gate itself only saw ciphertext, so files sent from another device show as 🔒 “encrypted upload”.

Guardian pledges you've made to help keep OTHERS' files hosted — dormant pledges refund in full if cancelled before they ever activate.
Encrypt a file to Hive users, pay the gate to host it
The file is AES-GCM encrypted in your browser; the AES key is wrapped to each recipient's Hive posting key (memo encryption). You get a self-contained v4reveal: link only they can open — here or in v4call's Reveal tab.
Pick a file to estimate.
Ready.
Public upload — shareable link, no encryption
Bytes go up as-is; anyone with the link can open it. The gate serves the file with its real content type (html/svg are forced to download, anti-XSS).
Pick a file to estimate.
Ready.
Reveal a private send
Paste a 🔒 Private send link (v4reveal:…) to decrypt it. Only an account it was addressed to can open it — and you must have your 🔑 encryption unlocked.
🛠 Whitelist
You're a server admin (Hive tier) — every action here signs an admin-action message with your posting key; the box owner's ADMIN_KEY keeps working independently.

Moderation
Ban = the account's uploads end (identity kill). Takedown = a CID is removed for everyone and can't come back (content kill). Delete pin = end ONE account's claim on ONE CID, leaving other hosts alone.
