At current HDD prices in the 7.50-14.50 USD/TB range [2,3], that is a few hundred bucks. Add storage redundancy, labor, continuously adding timestamps and serving proofs etc., and we’re still talking about a 5-digit amount yearly.
So five digits is what, $10k to $100k. Say $30k. I mean, this seems reasonable. Consider applying to the EA Infrastructure/Longtermism fund.

I think it would be hard to do this without at least one full-time engineer, at least at first, at a fully loaded cost of $130-250k/y.
