- nextaccountic 2y ago> "play without extracting". This kind of feature is really important if you to encourage people to seed even after their download is completed.

- pdimitar 2y agoIPFS is slow as molasses and their solution was to introduce paid pinning services. Complete failure. And then they announced they will willingly and proactively delete any hash that any legislative agency tells them to, and it was dead in the next minute.
- cyanydeez 2y agoMost distributed systems simply don't live up to their theory. Having a hub is simply always easier and consumers hopping temporally from hub to hub is just the most efficient mechanism.
- pdimitar 2y agoAgreed. The idea behind IPFS is nice but we need to combine it with all the good lessons from the torrent software and stuff like NNCP in order to have something truly distributed, resilient, fault-tolerant and automatically replicated.
