Doesn’t IPFS have problems with persistence? IOW you can’t guarantee a file will be available?

- nkellenicki 6y agoAs long as you keep your node up and running your content will never disappear. So if you just want to share files with friends I can see this working well - just keep your node available.
- Jhsto 6y agoThere's two persistence types: pinned and unpinned files. Pinned files persist, but someone needs to seed them at least occasionally. Unpinned files get eventually garbage collected. If you want to share a file, you don't need to pin it if the recipient for example tells you when the download is complete. In this sense, all these WebRTC examples are more equivalent to unpinned files.
