IPNS is a poor answer/solution to the original comment.
Don't get me wrong, I love IPFS (it is a perfect match with our tech) but IPNS is a nice sounding solution to the problem, but suffers terrible performance problems from the IPFS requirement of hashing.
Unfortunately, I know this for fact because multiple companies have already moved from IPNS to us to handle the indexing/updating of decentralized data in a mutable context BUT they still use IPFS for files/photos/etc.
So IPFS is great, but you are better off using another system for naming, indexing, searching, etc. and then point to the IPFS hashes. I'm biased (D.Tube - couple million+ monthly visitors, P2P reddit http://notabug.io http://notabug.io - thousand daily actives, Internet Archive, etc.) are using GUN (https://github.com/amark/gun https://github.com/amark/gun) for this instead.
- lgierth 8y ago> suffers terrible performance problems from the IPFS requirement of hashing Could you be more specific? We're aware of a good bunch of reasons for IPNS's varying performance, but hashing isn't one of them.
