Which statement? That BSV nodes don't prune or that IPFS requires you keep your own node online to host data?

Oh, sorry about that ambiguity. I ment to inquire about your statement about IPFS. And btw I thought I could "dump" data on the IPFS and have someone else host them.

Not unless you pay a service to host on IPFS for you. This thread explains it well: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipfs/comments/6ja8gf/comment/djcwphp/?context=3

OK. I think I heard somewhere that you can pay a relatively low fee (only once) to get your content hosted, which seemed a bit fishy to me, which is why I still remember it.

If that only means that I can find someone who hosts a node, and he can promise to host it indefinitely but he can still delete it when he wants, then I feel I have been lied to.
