I discovered a lossless compression algorithm


... that can achieve up to 80% compression ratio. What should I do?

Can it compress 80% all files or only some files?

Have you tried with some compression benchmarks? First result in Google: http://quixdb.github.io/squash-benchmark/

80% with what kind of data? The Hutter Prize record is at almost 89% compression for Wikipedia content (so mostly text)
