- oolongCat 11y agoAny place where I could read a good introduction to IPFS ?
- whyrusleeping 11y agoI would start at our webpage here: https://ipfs.io/ https://ipfs.io/ Though admittedly it needs work. If youre the video watching type, the stanford talk on that page is very good (i recommend setting the speed to 1.5 or so). Beyond that, come check out our git repos: ipfs whitepaper and general protocol discussion: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs go-ipfs codebase: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs And the FAQ: https://github.com/ipfs/faq https://github.com/ipfs/faq
- noffle 11y agoThere's also a (very WIP) "IPFS Textbook": https://github.com/RichardLitt/ipfs-textbook/ https://github.com/RichardLitt/ipfs-textbook/
- Touche 11y agoOk, so my question still stands, does this mean I will be eventually downloading the entire IPFS network onto my computer? What is the solution to that problem?
- joeflow 11y agoCurrently no, you only download content you have requested, and you can remove any content you have not pinned to hold onto via a garbage collection command. When bitswap is more mature you may get more content on your system, but that will probably be configurable.
