When I choose to use a chat application, of my reasons to use it is so that there is an accessible record of the thing.
More concerning to me is with IPFS is privacy. I would want to encrypt it so that only my chat partner and I could read it. But then would it be interesting in enough to live for long on the network?
- computerphage 10y agoIPFS isn't in the business of providing storage for free to users. If you want it stored forever you should pin it or use a service that does the same. Just because the name is permanent doesn't mean the data is unless it's in demand from someone.
- fiatjaf 10y agoThe name is misleading, you must concede.
- computerphage 10y agoWhat? The name of a piece of data is cryptographically secure. It is permanent, but the data that is being named doesn't have to continue to exist on a hard drive just because its name exists.
