Seems like this is one of the many things that IPFS would be great for. In practice, I'm curious if the user base is wide enough to be as durable as a real archive. (Although I guess if a few people commit to pinning* the research it might be?)
*Not sure if this is the right term.
- JumpCrisscross 10y agoWouldn't IPFS just make finding mirrored content easier? It still needs to live somewhere.
- Dylan16807 10y agoA huge amount of rarely accessed data? IPFS isn't going to guarantee any copies actually exist in that case, and could provide a false sense of security.
- rakoo 10y agoIt doesn't make content magically more available, for sure, but it makes backuping a web site trivial, to the point where you can't have content disappear out of sheer will (the only way to have this is to make people uninterested in the content)
