Yep! The SNARKiest network out there I believe! https://research.protocol.ai/sites/snarks/

Hm, I've taken a look at some of the Storage Provider ROI dashboards and AFAIK numbers aren't anything like that -- so not sure what timeframe or cost of goods you're extrapolating…

You have 2 main pathways for building on FVM: 1. (available sooner) Building an EVM smart contract that then interfaces with Filecoin's built-in actors. This will use existing EVM …

Example: most NFT marketplaces (OpenSea, Foundation, Palm, etc) use IPFS and Filecoin - https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-06-17-opensea-ipfs-filecoin/

Hmm, I wouldn't assume the goal here is censorship resistance (esp given IPFS+ENS already fits that niche better). Looks to me like someone in the ecosystem is seeing the recent ma…

Not sure when you last paged into IPFS - the team has made some pretty awesome performance improvements in the past year and seen strong adoption to match (ex, nearly all NFTs are …

This is cool! Curious if you'd be interested in doing a more formal anonymity audit of OnionCat+IPFS? AFAIK, the main hesitancy in making more of these capabilities broadly availab…

On this page in Brave (chrome-extension://nibjojkomfdiaoajekhjakgkdhaomnch/dist/options/options.html) you can choose any IPFS gateway you prefer (or even run your own gateway if yo…

That's a great idea! I know there's a project in the works to have redundant copies of the Archive stored on Filecoin, so expanding that to also make the data available for Collabo…

You can become an IPFS Cluster Follower ( https://collab.ipfscluster.io/#instructions ) and help back up various datasets of IPFS content (like Project Gutenberg, Package Managers,…

We're actually implementing a standard Pinning API right now! You can check out the spec here ( https://github.com/ipfs/pinning-services-api-spec ) - currently being integrated by …

When was the last time you tried? 0.5.0 from May had a lot of improvements - but go is still a hungry hungry beast. maybe try using Desktop which sets a lower peer count?

Thanks! We've been making a lot of updates to the documentation to make it easier to use - so glad it feels easy to follow! I'll follow up on the Pinata docs example. There are a l…

You may enjoy this HackFS Workshop from Juan Benet (creator of Filecoin) that starts pretty high level but gets much more into the details of how the Filecoin network works: https:…

Correct, IPFS is not a blockchain - while both are merkle-dags ('directed acyclic graphs' of hash-linked data), blockchains have all nodes sync the state collectively, while IPFS i…

Nope - but used by lots of blockchains for things like off-chain storage (since having a content-addressable handle for a file that can never change is super critical for things li…

For anyone looking at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.07747.pdf to get an estimate on the actual # of IPFS nodes, note that these tools are trying to crawl the number of nodes acting as…

Actually, content-based addresses is really critical for decentralized web stuff - since you can't trust a single source to name data, and instead want many different parties to pa…

Going well! Check out all the awesome applications using IPFS in our editable ecosystem diagram: https://www.figma.com/file/2bVNnjoOmxh4TtID9kzqEG/IPFS-Appli... A few highlights ar…

Our TOS applies to the IPFS HTTP Gateway where Protocol Labs run the infrastructure (bridging data in the IPFS Network to users over HTTP) to ease onboarding/development. There are…

Saying there's "no business value" in tools coming out of this space/building on IPFS is nonsense. Sure, the vast majority of people won't care about using a tool because it's dece…

Check out Filecoin ( https://filecoin.io ) - token for buying/selling file storage for IPFS data. You can earn tokens for renting out your disk space and use them to purchase backu…

...there are a lot of cool and useful integrations popping up: https://blog.ipfs.io/weekly-84/ . go-ipfs is where the majority of new development happens right now as the desktop/s…

Totally agree with you. This is an issue for most open membership p2p networks. Effectively, you need to create some type of reputation system or barrier to accruing power to make …

orbitdb is a distributed database built on IPFS - looks like they have a python http client: https://github.com/orbitdb/py-orbit-db-http-client the py-ipfs-http-client library is a…
