> Every problem it aims to solve, another protocol or tool specific to that problem solves it better. There is no real world use case I think of where I would ever consider using ipfs. Insofar as I understand IPFS, the most natural use case I've come across would be serving Nix packages. That is, my understanding of IPFS is "protocols related to distributing content based on its content". Nix stores all its packages in a nix store, where its address there is a hash of the inputs; but, there are experiments for addressing Nix packages by the package's contents. https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-09-10-nix-cas/ https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-09-10-nix-cas/ On the Nix side of things: a cache-miss from a binary cache would just mean that a package would need to be built from source.
