It's really too bad that anyone still thinks FileCoin is not a deeply flawed (if not outright scammy) endeavor. The only reason it isn't more widely decried is that the IPFS folks have a lot of goodwill in the community. But it's a bad coin. As for your #2, I don't use this solution because of propagation times. Instead, I use an nginx proxy that rewrites incoming requests on a specific path to root on IPFS node. When I rebuild, I rebuild that site config there. But tbh, I'm going to undo that. I get absolutely nothing for being part of IPFS and there's effectively no reason to host content there. It's a DHT and while that's cool, it's actually substantially less efficient than alternatives. I've been enthusiastic about IPFS because it's a neat white paper, but after using it for months I've concluded it's a tech demo with no real direction to go other than a deeply flawed cryptocurrency.
