Why should I (or anyone else) care about IPFS? It's not like I have trouble storing and retrieving data currently. Moreover, every anecdote in this topic seems to be from people who found IPFS unusable in reality.
- k__ 4y agoIPFS uses the content's hash as address. This means, there are no needless duplicates and if an IPFS node in your local network holds the data, you don't have to go to the source.
- SpelingBeeChamp 4y agoI don't understand why that would be more useful to me than my current storage and backup system. I already don't store needless duplicates, and when I decide to store something, I don't have to go back to the source after I have stored it. That's the whole point. How is IPFS helpful? Has IPFS made anything happen that couldn't have happened without it? What are its biggest accomplishments, outside of its own spread?
