IPFS

ipfs logo

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files.

In some ways, IPFS is similar to the World Wide Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle directed acyclic graph (DAG).

IPFS combines a distributed hash table, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other, except for every node they are connected to. Distributed Content Delivery saves bandwidth and prevents distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a problem common with HTTP.

go-ipfs 0.8.0-rc2 dispatches remote pin request but does not act on its status, so without manual inspection it is possible to miss the fact that MFS pinning (Pinning.RemoteServices.*.Policies.MFS, #7913) stopped working.

I believe we should keep checking pin status every RepinInterval until its pinned or failed, and if it's the latter, print ERROR into remotepinning/mfs logger. Pi

Right now, IPFS Desktop installs system-wide protocol handlers (dweb, ipfs, ipns) which converts ipfs://<cid> URI to gateway URL and opens that in default browser.

It is fine, but may be confusing on the first use.

We could improve this behavior and show a dialog window, where user can choose how to open IPFS resource via radio-button-like selector:

  • open from public gateway in the d

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the shareable links default to using ipfs.io to resolve the content. It would be nice if we were able to set which gateway we'd like to use (whether another public gateway or our own).

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, there's a box somewhere I can enter a gateway URL to be used whenever I copy from a sh

Is there a way to change the order of the videos on the channel page when viewing it publicly? I notice that the videos are posted in the order of the posted date. I have videos that are from YouTube that are older than my newest videos, but are in front.
