Hey Everyone, thanks for the great discussion and excellent questions. Was surprised to see this rise up to FP, given we have not updated the site in ages. :] Thanks for the great discussion here! Unfortunately i can't give much in for

Take a look at https://github.com/ipld/cid and the fs: handler and browser support mentioned in other comments.

@Ericson2314, yeah thnaks for bringing this up. As was mentioned elsewhere: * CID is finished and live in go-ipfs@master and js-ipfs@master. We haven't announced it widely because go-ipfs@0.4.5 is still to land. (ooof) * IPLD spec need

You can make oblivious storage (and even ORAM) on top of IPFS, without too much work actually. A critical point here is that making something oblivious by default is a nonstarter for 99% of users on the internet, because major consumer and

BTW, we have MaxMind's GeoIP Lite database (we asked first) stored directly on IPFS, indexed with a b-tree. see https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-geoip :) -- it's what powers our webui globe.

we do not yet measure latency, we really need to and have been wanting to for some time. could you help us with this? IP address signals are good, but we must maintain real measurements of all our connections to be able to adjust over time.

Thanks for the interest everyone! We think libp2p is one of the most exciting and useful parts of the IPFS project. We've refactored it out of IPFS for the benefit of the general p2p / networking community. We're working on c

Thanks! Many answers: - storing is super cheap. seeding not v expensive. i think the entire npm reg is <1TB? - (soon can ship entire registries in USB keys!) - many individuals and orgs should keep/replicate what they depend on - to

Have you tried using all of them and compared them for yourself? git, hg, monotone, ..., all offer(ed) similar feature sets -- dvcs. yet they're very different tools.

Take a look at this: "Content Model, or Replication on IPFS" https://github.com/ipfs/faq/issues/47 -- it's a discussion on WHY we had to separate out the replication part. Check out also: - ip

Thanks for the feedback! We have answers to all these questions over at the many repos that we use to work on IPFS. Look around in: - https://github.com/ipfs/faq/issues - https://github.com/ipfs&#x

Science converges on truths, so similar (and even the same) ideas form in many minds, often at the same time. And fundamental ideas like these are often -- in hindsight -- revealed to be pretty old; you can trace their lineage and formation

Full SQL is much harder to implement, JOINs done well (read: fast) are tricky, constraints and so on as well. NoSQL is easier because it punts on all the hard database problems and leaves it up to the application layer.

It's more than that, take a look at the other comments in this thread, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10329236 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10329221 One interesting thing is you

(IPFS author here) It turns out that: - (a) IPFS already works - (b) IPFS layers over CCN extremely well AND generates demand FOR CCN. (i'm a big fan of CCN actually, and want to see it in more and more systems. But CCN has huge adopti

(IPFS dev here) wow, that sucks. is this blocked in your corp firewall? Any chance of talking to the sysadmins? Blocking IPFS is like blocking HTTP :/ :/ :/ We may have to move our gateway back off our main domain, and have a

IPFS is not _just_ a static system. See the comments above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10329221 -- note that git ant bitcoin are "just static systems" as much as ipfs :). It turns out all content is &quo
