Now IPNS is a thing. Months ago it just didn't work, at least for me, now something is happening in the way IPNS works.
- ChadNauseam 3y agoIPNS kind of sucks but it’s “worked” for me for years. (sucks = very slow name resolution and slow update propagation, at least when I was using it a couple years ago)
- ikesau 3y agoDo you have any advice on how to work out if an IPFS project is using IPNS? I can't see anything on this page that suggests it is, but maybe there's a better, more intentional technique over searching "ipns" in the inspect source and network tab : )
- lyu07282 3y agocan you elaborate what IPNS is and how it helps with getting newer torrents up there?
- tomodachi94 3y agoI'm not the person you replied to, but I'll answer anyway :) IPNS is essentially DNS over the IPFS network. IPNS domains point to a specific IPFS file (or a set of files, like we see here). IPNS domains are signed with a private key; when you want to update your IPNS entry, you add your new content to a new IPFS file and then you update the IPNS entry by signing it with a public key.
