I publish all of my music in ways that are pirate-friendly, which for the moment just means Bit Torrent and IPFS. See: https://pickipedia.xyz/wiki/Cryptograss:Delivery-kid If IPFS is starting to wane, does anyone else have a suggestion of a replacement about which I might start to educate my fans?

That's not what we were talking about here. But as long as we're on this tangent I hardly think using a VPN constitutes a high bar to clear.

I love Iroh but it doesn't quite work the same as IPFS if I understand correctly.

If you want to compare iroh with something out of the IPFS world, iroh is basically "what if you build libp2p on multipath QUIC". If you want full ipfs functionality, we have a number of protocols you can combine: blobs https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh-blobs and gossip https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh-gossip . There is one thing we do not have yet - global content discovery. The reason for this is that so far w…

Global content discovery really is the missing piece that meshes IPFS together.
