ipfs.io it's part of a centralised DNS system(.io cctld) so when ipfs.io goes down I assume your website will go down as well?
run a local ipfs node and replace the ipfs.io part with your IP, it will work fine. you can even mount ipfs as a readonly filesystem and cat that hash and get the content.

#142It's rather old (2016-08) but at a quick glance it appears to be correct and still relevant.

#143Just one request. I love the YouTube JKL control keys. Any chance you could implement this on D-Tube?

If it's a DAPP you could theoretically save the .html file and just open it locally. If they've implemented some of the logic on the back end, then you can't... unless what they're doing is public and you can pretty much implement your own client.
I can save the html of any website. How does that make it 'decentralized'?
What I'm saying is that a dapp can be contained into your .html and query the different APIs or the Ethereum network via your own clients/nodes.

If Facebook doesn't care about enforcing copyright, why should such a small website? That really seems like an argument that is made only to hurt startups.
> That really seems like an argument that is made only to hurt startups. you're looking at this the wrong way. Yes, startups should enforce copyright. But so should facebook. They just get away with it because they are big

#146Ah I see, DTube is based upon IPFS, while peertube relies upon good ol' BitTorrent directly (though IPFS uses BitTorrent too?)

Why is this a bad thing, let people post what they want to. Also if someone says YouTube is censoring them why wouldn't you believe it?
It's likely to forever remain a niche for that kind of content only. What reasonable person would say: "I know, I'll host my video on that website which opens with a list of conspiracy videos and has antisemitism promoted in the sidebar next to my content/face." (And even more - which popular company would do that?)

#149Would this not run into the copyright issues most other distributed hosting networks run into? Especially since it allows directly monetizing the content.
