What happens when half of the IPFS network is down?
- kabdib 3y ago"Connection was reset." Well, that might address the mystery :-)
- RobotToaster 3y ago>The problematic configuration which was applied manually (i.e. was not based on the default values of kubo-v0.17) So how did 60% of the network become manually mis-configured? Or does a single company (cloudflare?) make up 60% of the network?
- Lt_Riza_Hawkeye 3y agoFrom my reading, they mis-configured it in their use of the library - using the default value instead would have avoided the problem.
- bombcar 3y agoSomeone did some digging on various non-Bitcoin crypto coins and found that a huge percentage of the whatever it is they run were just running on AWS.
- sva_ 3y agoI guess you mean nodes? I only found this, which is about eth: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/z4e4g1/60_eth_nodes_are_run_on_aws_now_it_takes_one/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/z4e4g1/60_eth_nod...
- bombcar 3y agoThat looks like it might be what I saw; of course all the tiny cryptos are run on only a few machines, but the cloud providers are huge.
- mattdesl 3y agoWorth correcting: 59% of hosted nodes use Amazon, or 37% of all nodes. If you filter out unsynced nodes, about 17% of all nodes are hosted on Amazon. https://ethernodes.org/networkType/Hosting?synced=1 https://ethernodes.org/networkType/Hosting?synced=1
- whimsicalism 3y agoLike the entire application binary was mis-configured. so anyone running the newest update would be misconfigured
- runlaszlorun 3y agoAm I the only one who finds it a bit odd that the article starts off bragging about what was an outage? And I as soon as I hear “we were still running with half our network down”, the first thing I think of is that no one really is using IPFS at all.
