Ok, so IPFS isn't for hosting and it's not for unpopular content.
What is it for then? For scaling distribution, you say. What problem does it solve? How, what and why? Is it better than BitTorrent for that use case?
- lukasb 10y agoit's better than bittorrent because you don't need a centralized tracker.
- Ericson2314 10y agoAlso content can be incrementally updated without duplication.
- clueless404 10y agoOk, when or why would you use IPFS instead of something else?
- lukasb 10y agolol, you can troll better than that, c'mon :)
- clueless404 10y agoAre you just unable to answer the question or are you just so new to the interwebz that you think that was a troll?
- Ericson2314 10y agoZFS is less flexible in deduplication because it's not true content addressing, and git has lousier protocol. Rsync and unison also have lousier protocol and don't deduplicate storage.
- clueless404 10y agoThat's not much of a benefit, as there are tracker less torrents.
