Love DASL (funded by IPFS too)! Iroh also meets the DASL spec ( https://dasl.ing/bdasl.html ). A great bridging opportunity for agents to build interop between many different content addressed systems!

Iroh is great! As is ATProto! Both build on DASL ( https://dasl.ing/bdasl.html ) - which specifies the core content addressing layer of IPFS. However - important clarification about the Shipyard post that I think a lot of fol

The post here is pretty confusing (so no blame to anyone who reads this as "IPFS the project" shutting down instead of just a single maintainer team, it's totally misleading) - but this is actually just a sunset announcemen

Hm, I've taken a look at some of the Storage Provider ROI dashboards and AFAIK numbers aren't anything like that -- so not sure what timeframe or cost of goods you're extrapolating from. (ex https://fgas.io/ )

You have 2 main pathways for building on FVM: 1. (available sooner) Building an EVM smart contract that then interfaces with Filecoin's built-in actors. This will use existing EVM smart contract dev tools like HardHat, Truffle, Remix,

Example: most NFT marketplaces (OpenSea, Foundation, Palm, etc) use IPFS and Filecoin - https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-06-17-opensea-ipfs-filecoin/

Hmm, I wouldn't assume the goal here is censorship resistance (esp given IPFS+ENS already fits that niche better). Looks to me like someone in the ecosystem is seeing the recent massive speed up to IPNS publishing (launched last week)

Not sure when you last paged into IPFS - the team has made some pretty awesome performance improvements in the past year and seen strong adoption to match (ex, nearly all NFTs are stored on IPFS today). Definitely check out the IPFS 0.9 rel

This is cool! Curious if you'd be interested in doing a more formal anonymity audit of OnionCat+IPFS? AFAIK, the main hesitancy in making more of these capabilities broadly available is a potential mismatch between _expectations_ of pr

That's a great idea! I know there's a project in the works to have redundant copies of the Archive stored on Filecoin, so expanding that to also make the data available for Collaborative Clusters should be totally doable. We'

You can become an IPFS Cluster Follower ( https://collab.ipfscluster.io/#instructions ) and help back up various datasets of IPFS content (like Project Gutenberg, Package Managers, Websites, etc)

We're actually implementing a standard Pinning API right now! You can check out the spec here ( https://github.com/ipfs/pinning-services-api-spec ) - currently being integrated by Pinata and soon others. By the way,

When was the last time you tried? 0.5.0 from May had a lot of improvements - but go is still a hungry hungry beast. maybe try using Desktop which sets a lower peer count?

Thanks! We've been making a lot of updates to the documentation to make it easier to use - so glad it feels easy to follow! I'll follow up on the Pinata docs example. There are a lot of options for how to persist content in the IP

You may enjoy this HackFS Workshop from Juan Benet (creator of Filecoin) that starts pretty high level but gets much more into the details of how the Filecoin network works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P28aNAdZDi4

Correct, IPFS is not a blockchain - while both are merkle-dags ('directed acyclic graphs' of hash-linked data), blockchains have all nodes sync the state collectively, while IPFS instead shards state across the entire network (suc

by momack2 6y ago
Nope - but used by lots of blockchains for things like off-chain storage (since having a content-addressable handle for a file that can never change is super critical for things like smart contracts)

For anyone looking at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.07747.pdf to get an estimate on the actual # of IPFS nodes, note that these tools are trying to crawl the number of nodes acting as "DHT Servers" in the Public

Actually, content-based addresses is really critical for decentralized web stuff - since you can't trust a single source to name data, and instead want many different parties to participate in the same global address space in a secur

Saying there's "no business value" in tools coming out of this space/building on IPFS is nonsense. Sure, the vast majority of people won't care about using a tool because it's decentralized in and of itself,

Check out Filecoin ( https://filecoin.io ) - token for buying/selling file storage for IPFS data. You can earn tokens for renting out your disk space and use them to purchase backup/hosting from others.

Totally agree with you. This is an issue for most open membership p2p networks. Effectively, you need to create some type of reputation system or barrier to accruing power to make it harder for attackers to DOS/manipulate the network
