IPFS does the opposite, right? It doesn't guarantee the archive is available, which is what Carmack is asking for. Incentives to scale bandwidth with need already exist as long as you have he data at all.
That is to say, IPFS doesn't help if the desire blooms after the nodes dry up. Things could still be lost.
- Ericson2314 5y agoThe point of IPFS is not keep the data archived, but to allows users to no care who does the archiving. Concretely, this would be to skip the "many people on encountering a dead URL don't bother to try the internet archive" problem.
