This is why I don't get the fuss about IPFS. It's basically bittorrent and its DHT, just named differently! (and without the added value of trackers)

- sliken 11y agoI suggest you learn more about IPFS, you are missing quite a bit. Read up on merkle-dag's, content addressable storage, and universal name spaces. It's a distributed filesystem. IPFS uses the DHT similarly to bittorrent, just to find peers. But there's much more to IPFS than DHT+torrent.
- runn1ng 11y agoAll right, will try
- kpcyrd 11y agoipfs is way easier to use compared to libtorrent.
- bedeho 11y agois this actually true? I use libtorrent, would be interested to learn how exactly it is easier? Is it mainly due to avoiding C++? Is IPFS implementation stable enough?
- diggan 11y agoWrite how it would be used in a cli environment, and we'll see. For IPFS: ipfs add your_file On the other computer ipfs get $HASH_FROM_PREVIOUS_COMMAND Done
- Natanael_L 11y agoExcept you get a Git-like tree of files, not just one single prepackaged directory.
- InclinedPlane 11y agoThis is why I don't get the fuss about http. It's basically just gopher and sgml, just named differently! (and without the added value of search)
