IPFS serves a totally different purpose and can't be used in any reasonable way to achive what Infinit seems to be doing.

#23Is there any information on how good it works in the real world by people who have used it?
Works well from the limited experimentations I've made. Very well documented, nice, professional job overall.

#24my bandwidth kills things like this. I have so little upload in the US that I can't host anything and still have a usable network connection
You could get a virtual machine somewhere cheap for $5-10/month and use that as your canonical storage reference.
Reply to myself since I cannot edit: Depending on how much storage you need, it might be cheaper to get a dedicated server or colo your own versus getting a virtual machine. Feel free to reply if you have questions on this.

#26This looks awesome! I can't find anything in the docs on data resiliency - if i add a storage node and it later becomes unavailable, is data distributed across other nodes? how many nodes can fail?
The roadmap seems to suggest at least some of your questions are answered: https://infinit.sh/documentation/roadmap

#27Thought this looked familiar, this is from February and they still have the source as "coming soon (tm)".
So until that coming soon becomes released I'm not really all that bothered by this thing.

Any advice on getting either of those in Australia for less than an arm and a leg?
