They mainly help in four ways: - avoid data corruption when downloading/transferring/copying datasets - notice changes/updates in the original dataset - dataset versioning (think how e.g. git turns directories and files into

First of all, this looks like a great tool for datasets, thank you. Do you have plans for adding file hashes to the datasets, e.g. sha256? This would make it a lot easier to integrate with other systems.

I value the MIT Media Lab and its DCI group pretty highly. There is nothing about the Media Lab or the DCI in that first link of yours. [1] So what were you trying to say? What I did find in that first link of yours [1] is this gem though:

Ah, thanks - you're half right :) The plan for Filecoin was initially (in 2014) to be based on Bitcoin, but since then this changed to its own Proof-of-Replication and Proof-of-Spacetime, reusing parts of Ethereum. IPFS itself has neve

> To add to the baffle, IPFS started using bitcoin and ethereum for storing the initial peer data for new clients to connect to. This is false. Where did you get that impression?

Here's the report from UpGuard, who found the breach: https://www.upguard.com/breaches/cloud-leak-alteryx It has more detailed information about the dataset.

Sure -- but libp2p's network transports underneath are pluggable. There's already Websockets (/ws, think domain fronting! [1]) and Tor (/onion) transports, so there's various options for evading censorship (I person

If you're looking for raw performance and/or large datasets, go-ipfs is for you. If you're looking for running within websites (and in browsers generally), then js-ipfs is for you.

Pins are something that's per-node, and whether a node has a specific piece of content pinned is not visible publicly (only that it's providing the content).

There's no blocking functionality in IPFS yet - the plan is to have customizable opt-in blocklists (and allowlists) for content and peers, though, so communities can govern themselves regarding what content is desired and what's n

Pubsub is probably one of the lesser known features of IPFS right now, given that it's still marked as experimental. We're researching more efficient tree-forming and message routing algorithms, but generally the interface is pret

Not at all :) There's multiple important points about IPFS and I always forget at least one, so thanks :)

Works with IPFS if you use Pubsub, cryptographic capabilities, and CRDTs :) Check out PeerPad: https://peerpad.net edit: what I also meant to say is, a chat room doesn't need computation (although there certainly use cases

No, it's more generally about hosting any content-addressed data. That's much much more than files/directories, as S3/Dropbox/Sia are doing. Files and directories are just one particular data structure you can sto
