- dudehere 5y agoThanks, I actually did suspect they do. They still aren't Web friendly and require dedicated software unlike IPFS via gateways being more Web-ready. Who knows, BitTorrent might have never fixed this without seeing how IPFS works.
- easrng 5y agoThough it isn't an ideal solution (it's rather large and doesn't have DHT support), https://webtorrent.io https://webtorrent.io supports torrents in browsers.
- dudehere 5y agoEvolution makes different systems adopt each other's features and eventually they may equate as operating systems did. IPFS has key necessary features more on the surface and is a lot more adaptive to modern operating systems compared to torrents, with much less internal games nearly absent in a nodal IPFS software design. Multiple things make IPFS a more architecture-oriented solution than application-oriented BitTorrent. There are various application features yet holding back BitTorrent and LG will utilize them in future.
