The last time I checked IPFS is a joke. There are only two implementations of IPFS protocol and both come from the same group of developers.
On the other hand, there are so many BitTorrent protocol implementations from totally independent group of developers.
Also, the namespace system of IPFS is just beyond stupid. They openly recommend relying the traditional central DNS to resolve the human readable name to hash.
I didn't bother to examine the Dat, but it looks like worse than IPFS.
- slaymaker1907 8y agoIs server side JS a joke because there is basically one implementation, Node? Number of independent implementations is a mostly useless metric in the FOSS world. * it is not useless for proprietary software since then reliance on a single vendor is a much more serious issue.
- rklaehn 8y agoThere is a version of libp2p written in rust, developed by parity.io: https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p . IPFS is much younger than bittorrent, so it is not surprising that there are not as many implementations. I am not sure why that makes it "a joke". All that is needed for IPFS to function in a russia-only internet are a few russian bootstrap nodes. Bootstrap nodes are not in any way special, so any node can serve as a bootstrap node.
