Thanks for your feedback and support! We're trying to push forward the specification work to support other implementations like https://datrs.yoshuawuyts.com/ . We created a protoc…

It's been almost 5 years at this point somehow! Check out the first commit: https://github.com/datproject/dat/tree/464679267049899eafa34... Bit more on the funding history, etc. : …

Ya, we've thought about that. Dat's storage is pretty flexible and we have a content-addressed storage library. A lot of our users do not want or need to storage data in IPFS thoug…

Dat allows you to store any type of data. Yes, I think you could do what you're suggesting (though I don't follow 100%). You can use it like you would Dropbox, except only one pers…

> If I uploaded a bunch of data that was obtained illegally there is nothing stopping me from doing that right? The hosting provider is responsible for removing illegal content. Da…

We have a few approaches to the disappearing data. First, we are working with libraries, universities, or other groups with large amounts of storage/bandwidth. They'd help provide …

We'd love to work with them! We really like what they've done and we have a few partners that use Globus. Underneath all the transfers in Globus use GridFTP. Using Dat could help d…

Ya, there are a few other related questions below. Resilio is BitTorrent-based. But I'm not 100% familiar with how Resilio differs from BitTorrent. The core difference is in our ap…

We use TCP or UDP for all the connections. UDP is especially helpful for hole-punching as well. The direct HTTP support is not fully supported yet. But we're excited for that becau…

The other one I know of is datahub [1], which used to be frictionless data. It is from the same group that built CKAN. [1] https://datahub.io/

Ah cool! I hadn't seen quilt before. You are spot on with the differences. Dat is targeting similar users to Quilt. But we are also looking more broadly at libraries, labs, or othe…

Hi everyone, I'm one of the core contributors to Dat, @joeahand. Happy to answer any questions. It's an interesting time to see this posted because I've been working on a new datpr…

Yes, good point! Those are all important as well. I did not intend in my comment to emphasize a binary identity for authors. Seek out books by authors from any lived experience dis…

Identity of the author matters because a writer's work is informed by their experience in the world. As a white male, I will view & experience the world differently from Jane Jacob…

I was being facetious. Women are better writers.

http://github.com/datproject . It is pretty modular so if you need help finding something hop in our chat: http://chat.datproject.org . =)

Me either, and that's exactly the issue. Look at any top books list and it is mostly white males. Either men have an easier time getting published or men are inherently better writ…

Ha-Joon Chang has very approachable books about capitalism and economics. * Twenty-Three Things They Don't Tell You about Capitalism [1] * Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade an…

If you struggle to get diverse voices inside your field, maybe you should read from diverse voices outside your field. I understand it is hard and I also gravitate towards comforta…

Ya, for Dat[1], we had a WebRTC implementation and it was unreliable compared to our other clients. We are hoping other in browser p2p options get developed, e.g. https://github.co…

Check out Dat: https://datproject.org/install . We do NAT traversal but also connect to local peers over multicast DNS. Command line client should have a local or offline option to…

We are releasing updated desktop & command line app on Tuesday with support for the protocol, as defined in the paper. I'd recommend checking back then (though some, such as CLI, a…

Not very familiar with librevault, but on a cursory glance the design seems fairly consistent (p2p, encryption, offline support). However, Dat has put a lot of focus into developin…
