There is no chance that I would risk this. I would gladly donate several Terabytes of seeding if this possible in a secure and _anonymous_ network.

It is possible to run ipfs behind tor. And I'd argue it is the right way to do so.

how? i am behind NAT for example, i tried doing it. it did not work.

Is there a way for people who have just 20 mbit/s up/downstream and do not have an stable IP addres from home behind NAT?

I would run a server for long for seeding if it would be over TOR.

Copying is not stealing. Stealing removes the original, copying leaves the original intact.

So when you copy answers on a test, that is seen as valid by the teachers because the other person's answers are intact; correct?

Completely false equivalence.

Copying answers isn't bad because you are infringing on someones "right" to have control over their answers. It is bad because you are commiting academic fraud and seeking a qualification you have not earned. You are claiming anothers achievement as your own.

Me reading a pirated book does not mean I claim to be the author.

Still no meaningful promises around the safety or effectiveness of this. Seems like this will get many people a love letter from their ISP. Not worth the hassle with no idea of if this will work in even the medium term.

IPFS provides the same privacy guarantees as bittorrent (i.e. none).

Use a VPN.

Dude come on, 20mb/s who will you serve with that, forget about it and move near a backbone.

Running a hidden service on Tor should work without problems behind NAT

Doesn't that saturate Tor? Bittorrent via Tor was always highly discouraged to not overload the network with all the p2p traffic and IPFS is a very similar technique.

A VPN does not protect you well from law enforcement.

Taking all your fiat money technically doesn't "remove" it either, just relocation. Gets even better if we talk about virtual funds.

When all my fiat money is taken, I cannot use it anymore, therefore it's removed.

If you make an exact copy of my fiat money, yet I can still use it, nothing is stolen.

Any pointer on that?
