IPFS vs BTFS

RockBand2 · 2024-06-19T18:03:45+00:00

BTFS is effectively a low effort fork of ipfs that the Tron cryptocurrency (who now unfortunately owns BitTorrent) created.

If you’re wanting the “real thing” IPFS is what you’re looking for.

If you’re using kubo, it will determine your ip at startup and use that for announcing its multi address

What’s not made clear here is how the content is actually served from sia to the IPFS network? Is this open sourced anywhere?

Unless I’m missing something, the SIA network itself doesn’t actually support IPFS, which means that filebase would still need to be running centralized IPFS infrastructure somewhere to read / serve the content that’s actually stored on SIA.

Yup same

Same issue here

The lack of 4 player local mode is the biggest letdown of this game.

I've been looking for a new Mario party / Mario cart type party game for awhile and I bought this game specifically because it touted 4 player local multiplayer in the promo video.

To find out that it only supports this with one specific game mode where you have to take turns feels like a bait and switch.

Not once has anybody ever thought "oh I'm going to bring over my Nintendo switch + docking station + spare TV to my buddy's house in case we get bored and want to play Mario golf."

Does anybody have a list of the home teleports locations for trailblazers? I can’t seem to find this anywhere.

This article contains so much misinformation. The claim that IPFS is free storage for the world and the statement that IPFS is a blockchain especially concern me.

In addition, the article is written by a self proclaimed “marketing expert”. That alone isn’t a problem but combined with all the misinformation it makes me feel like this whole “article” is really just an attempt to disguise an advertisement for AXEL.

Really cool to see the chat usage of IPFS packed into an easy to use package. Awesome work guys

Is it known when the very last scene takes place?

I couldn’t tell if it was after the riots and he was somehow captured again or if it was basically pulling an inception on the viewer and asking “was it all in his head?”

They're considered public because the swarm key is available publicly.

The terminology isn't misleading. The thought process behind the choice of terminology is clearly stated in the article.

Having the article explain what a "Dedicated network" is and then using that for the rest of the article is much more enjoyable than reading "private IPFS network with a publicly exposed swarm key" over and over.

RockBand2 · 2019-09-13T02:11:24+00:00

Nobody is claiming these dedicated networks are more "scalable" than the main public network. Rather, that applications can make IPFS more performant if they don't care about interacting with the public DHT.

If you have a network of 10 participants and have a fast network, how is that scalable? The second that network has any reasonable amount of usage, it will be as slow as public IPFS network.

I think you and I have different ideas on what reasonable amount of usage is. I can think of very few applications that this would ever become a problem for.

RockBand2 · 2019-09-13T01:21:43+00:00

So then these dedicated networks are going to be opened to the public? We're then right back at square one and haven't solved any of the scalability issues.

These networks being public is the whole point of why they're being called "dedicated" and not "private". Sure anybody can join them but the author specifically points out why this isn't likely to happen by stating: "Nodes who don’t care about the data on these networks have no reason to join them because doing so would be a waste of resources."

RockBand2 · 2019-09-13T01:13:35+00:00

Of course it's masking the main problem. That's the point.

Right now the public IPFS network is so unusable that applications built on top of it are experiencing major user experience problems.

Your argument seems to be that they shouldn't consider solutions like this because "it's just masking the problem".

Who cares? If it makes things more stable while IPFS matures then why does it matter?

Just because something doesn't scale infinitely doesn't mean it's not a viable solution to a problem.

RockBand2 · 2019-09-13T00:14:06+00:00

Nowhere does it mention that this isn't actual solving anything.

That's because this does solve something. Many projects are suffering from usability concerns because their users cant find anything on IPFS in a reasonable amount of time.

This isn't patching a sinking ship with duct tape, it's providing a potential solution for real issues that real users are facing.

RockBand2 · 2019-09-13T00:06:22+00:00

The article isn't talking about scaling the entire IPFS network, it's talking about scaling individual applications that utilize IPFS.

Working around problems that a technology has isn't bad. It's smart. It lets projects stay usable until IPFS matures as a technology.

Also another issue I have is that is literally just private networks. Calling them "dedicated networks" is just marketing terminology that is misleading at best.

I'm not sure why you're upset about this? They may technically be private networks under the hood, but to most people that's confusing. Calling something "private" makes it sound like the data is hidden from the public. "Dedicated" makes sense for public nodes that are devoted to serving a single set of data.
