#2IPFS just keeps looking more and more useful. I'm starting to wonder about planning future text-rich applications (forums, news, blog, etc..) with article backups to IPFS and a link on the live site.
Would require extra storage and overhead, but the result is maybe even more helpful than a tor site for important content.

#3Article is from seven months ago. I'd be curious to see if there is an update to this.

as far as I know www.shiftnrg.org is building something along those lines... decentralised hosting on IPFS + custom DNS...

make no mistake:
ipfs _by_itself_ is no more "anonymous" than torrenting or other types of file sharing ftp/sftp/ssh/http/whatever...
because they can always get your ip address.
You will need to use some other method if you want anonymity.

#6So, botnet C&C with no takedowns and more efficient and lower risk than servers on Tor? Nice.

#7Pubsub 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 pretty stable by now. Pubsub is supported in both go-ipfs and js-ipfs.
A shining example of pubsub in use is PeerPad, a collaborative text editor exchanging CRDTs over IPFS/Pubsub: https://peerpad.net

Sorry, the reference to Tor is misleading. I was not referring to anonymity but rather access to content from restricted areas like the Middle East or Asia.

#10Hey Everyone! IPFS dev here, If anyone is interested in the future of ipfs pubsub you can participate in the discussions in our research repo: https://github.com/libp2p/research-pubsub . One of the next big things we're planning to do is to implement a new routing algorithm, one proposal for this is here: https://github.com/libp2p/research-pubsub/pull/17 (feedback and review very welcome)
We are also planning on implementing various different modes for authentication and encryption. Our pubsub currently is plaintext and open for anyone to publish to any topic
