>do you have any ipfs ideas for me to implement?
Over at (presently running ) it was suggested to put the FAQs on ipfs. We had a FTP site with a huge collection of files with information,m infographics and more but it is down at the moment. I have a complete backup of the Cyberpunk folder.

So keeping that archive alive would make many happy.

Both are good ideas, especially the sad panda one since H@H is fucking old and downright unencrypted.

Why re-implement tor when you could just use it through tor to begin with?

wait 2-3 minutes for a dht lookup then not find what you're looking for anyways.

Has anyone used it in production?
How reliable?

/hgg2d/ has been using it to host translated hentai games and it's been serving them well.

Do you run a server by yourself and pin it?

The problem with IPFS isn't its technical merit, it's that it requires someone with a developer background to even want to go through with using it.
Simply, to promote IPFS usage amongst the masses there should be a push for a Docker container manager for casual users.
A container manager (like a package manager), would provide an interface for downloading and configuring containers such as IPFS, which means that users would only have to download a single container to run a functional IPFS server and GUI interface.
It'd be useful for other decentralized or distributed projects too, like a self-hosted GitLab.

and to answer the question of "why you wouldn't just build a GUI with the server embedded like people do with libtorrent", it's because there is no conceivable benefit to tying these services together.

IPFS is a general system intended to act as a single point of entry into its network, so there is no meaning to tying it into a specific service.
You would have a container running IPFS, and multiple other containers such as sadpanda or a Jow Forums archive accessing it.

Is IPFS encrypted?
