Have you guys heard of ipfs? It seems to be a distributed way of serving content. I don't think its anywhere close to prod ready in its current state but it could be one day.

  • It's probably going to be surpassed by Veilid:

    • That project seems much smaller and isn't doing the same thing

      • It is a brand new project from the Cult of the Dead Cow. It will grow quickly. It is much more sophisticated than either ipfs or tor, combining the advantages of both into a new framework for apps to be developed on top of. I think it will be a game changer.

        • Well Idk but they are always talking about a network for apps. But what I want to see is a decentralized storage. Nothing less nothing more. Thats what IPFS is supposed to be. What other build on top is a whole different story. I think we should put our efforts together instead of trying to reinvent the weel.

            • Ok this sounds a lot better now. As you explained it Vailid can also be used for storage purposes only? Like a distributed public file storage? And if apps can access this storage this is more than welcome. But I'm more concerned about the foundation.

              • Or even distributed private storage with multi-writer support. All fully encrypted. It all depends on the apps that have yet to be developed. It's a brand new framework the CDC just announced at Defcon this year. The reason why I think it will be a game changer is because Cult of the Dead Cow have a good reputation of getting things done, and they know what they are doing.
