ICHAIN, currently on ichain.io is a decentralized solution for storing media images (possibly videos as well). Ichain is designed to work either on a local Ethereum chain ( see more details here ) or a public Ethereum chain. There is also a potential to use ichain with other chains in the future such as the Bicoin Blockchain or the Namecoin Blockchainbut for now the focus is on Ethereum only.
Due to extremly high costs for adding data intro the Blockchain trough Smart Contracts etc, only hashes ( md5 hashes to be more exact ) of images will be saved into the main chain and possibly small thumbnails into the private blockchain.
