And you do not have to host yourself once your content is distributed. That is what makes it permanent!

- kevincox 11y agoYou don't have to, but unless someone decides to "pin" it it might just disappear at any time. So you better pin it yourself or find someone reliable to pin it for you.

- icebraining 11y agoFor encrypted personal files?
- toomuchtodo 11y agoNo, this was IPFs being discussed (content addressable web).
- icebraining 11y agoYes, but we were talking in the context of the grandparent post "IPFS is encrypted and with pluggable PKI too!", not of publicly accessible files.

- toomuchtodo 11y agoThat's the best part! Anyone could be paid to pin! Home users with enough bandwidth and storage. Existing CDNs. New cloud storage entrants (Backblaze). Literally anyone with an internet connection and storage would be able to securely serve your content. EDIT: I just saw your profile :) Thanks for the work you do at the IA!
