If you want to come out of a lock-down without also causing the number of cases to spike again, we'll need to implement a widespread test-and-trace protocol similar to South Korea's. This requires _lots and lots_ of testing.

Good. Developers deserve to be compensated for their work. I hope we see more of this.

Thanks, but I already know what IPNS is. My points were that (a) it's not needed for this use-case, and (b) it's a distinct system from IPFS. I think you agreed in your TLDR.
459.
by jude- 7y ago
IPNS is a system that runs on top of IPFS. You do not need IPNS to use IPFS.

The article doesn't mention IPNS at all, nor does it talk about the need for mutating an image while it is being shared, so I'm not sure why you think IPNS is even desirable in this use-case?

Would be curious to know how using IPFS for internal container distribution compares to using BitTorrent. IIRC BitTorrent has found similar uses in the past. Also, how well does BitSwap work when the underlying network is congested? Do IP

I can tell that you really want me to believe that ICANN and the US government are the problem, and that Handshake is the solution. But you still have not addressed how Handshake solves the three main problems I have with the .org sale: *

Why should I believe that miners won't just rent-seek by gouging me with transaction fees when I try to renew my name? Unlike ICANN, I can't exactly sue miners for bad behavior.

by jude- 7y ago
The problem here isn't the lack of alternatives to .org, it's the rent-seeking on .org (brought about by a corruption). It sounds like Handshake does not address this problem.

I would argue that a rich actor can more easily corrupt a large number of small autonomous feifdoms by a combination of bribes, equivocations, and good ol' divide-and-conquer strategies. A low barrier to entry to acquire absolute cont

Ah, so the owner of .org in Handshake is completely unbound by any rules or regulations, and can charge whatever they want for any domains beneath it? Isn't that the entire problem of the .org sale -- the wanna-be new owners want to b

What happens when Ethos starts running their own mining software (or bribes existing miners) in order to jack up prices for .org?

I'd argue that the problem is corruption, not (the degree of) centralized control. What we need here is a governance system for TLDs that is hard for a handful of well-connected profit-motivated bad actors to corrupt.

Hate to break it to you, but this generally true about Internet infrastructure. IPFS isn't going to fix that. In fact, IPFS, like BitTorrent, is trivial to DDoS by inserting malicious nodes in the DHT in order to block key lookups.

Isn't that handled by mutable torrents a la BEP 46?
