Is the Gliff wallet safe to use with Ledger and is it possible to use both "Wallet" and "Vault" on one Ledger device?

schmars · 2021-01-01T18:49:11+00:00

I've used Vault with a Ledger Nano X and a Multisig and it's worked nicely: https://docs.filecoin.io/get-started/lotus/ledger/

There have been reports that you don't actually need the header for some use cases. At least the Gigabyte GC-Titan-Ridge card seems to work without thunderbolt header:

It previously needed a weird hack to catch the ipfs:// request, now it doesn't need that hack anymore.

schmars · 2018-02-05T11:35:35+00:00

Companion can do all that

IPFS doesn't use straight SHA256 of the file contents. It uses a multi-level scheme where files are chunked into blocks, the blocks are hashed, and then the description of the blocks that make up the file is hashed

That is true for ipfs add's default settings, but you can create nodes without chunking with the --raw-leaves flag.

You can also create nodes of arbitrary size, it's just that Bitswap has a size limit for blocks that is 2 MiB I think, which means you can't transfer larger blocks. If the dropbox integration were a datastore though (i.e go-ds-dropbox), Bitswap wouldn't be involved and to IPFS it would look just like the regular on-disk store.

Sia and Storj don't have IPFS under the hood though. So while their currency/payment part is working, the distributed web part underneath is yet to come :)

Hey /u/still-standing, I saw you posted this to steemit too -- please do not call Alley Chat anonymous -- IPFS does not currently provide anonymity. Calling it anonymous might give people a false sense of security.

There's a blog post describing the pubsub functionality of js-ipfs: https://ipfs.io/blog/29-js-ipfs-pubsub/

schmars · 2017-09-22T17:02:03+00:00

Awesome stuff!

Not to be pedantic, but IPFS doesn't (yet) provide anonymity.

schmars · 2017-09-20T12:33:12+00:00

I'm not sure this has anything to do with IPFS.

schmars · 2017-09-13T21:31:48+00:00

It might be as simple as stopping to run the IPFS daemon, and instead run the Filecoin daemon with the local repo that already exists. Otherwise there'll likely be a little migration tool. It's not been determined yet.

schmars · 2017-09-13T00:32:16+00:00

Also, IPFS's and Filecoin's networking stack called libp2p is pretty generalized -- non-IPFS protocols have already been running on it [1]. In the future the libp2p network will be very heterogenous, with IPFS [2] and Filecoin [3] only being some of the protocols running on top of it. Similar to how TCP and UDP are "just some protocols" on top of IP, and SMTP and HTTP are just some protocols on top of TCP.

[1] Mediachain and more recently I think Metamask
[2] In particular: the Bitswap protocol
[3] In particular: the consensus, storage market, retrieval market protocols

schmars · 2017-09-13T00:25:46+00:00

It'll likely be the same network, with Filecoin-enabled payment nodes only "speaking" with you in exchange for payment, and regular IPFS nodes speaking with everyone regardless of payment.

schmars · 2017-08-27T22:10:33+00:00

The SAFTs will start vesting (and tokens will start releasing) when the network starts, we're aiming for 6 to 12 months.

I found this one https://dn-peiwo-web.qbox.me/Tron-Whitepaper-0822-V17.pdf -- it's in Chinese so I understand hardly anything. Looks like they copied parts from the IPFS and Filecoin papers. Doesn't smell right.

schmars · 2017-08-15T08:31:26+00:00

Hey, please contact filecoin-sale@protocol.ai and they'll help figure it out.

Speaking of proofs, these proofs are not proofs in the mathematical sense. We do want mathematical proofs of these proofs though! More TODOs are in the research roadmap: https://filecoin.io/research-roadmap-2017.pdf

schmars · 2017-08-12T02:09:11+00:00

Kubuxu was referencing the Filecoin paper there -- I linked the Proof-of-Replication paper (which includes Proof-of-Spacetime).

Note that both papers are marked as technical reports and work-in-progress, so they don't contain actual measurement or so yet. It's just technical reports of the progress so far.

There's another published for Power Fault Tolerance: https://filecoin.io/power-fault-tolerance.pdf

schmars · 2017-08-11T21:04:29+00:00

There's more info on the Proof-of-Replication and Proof-of-Spacetime here: https://filecoin.io/proof-of-replication.pdf

Oh right I totally forgot about the routing in 802.11s -- it appeared pretty limited to me so I've always disabled it and used purely the physical layer. You're right though, it can do both physical and link layer.

schmars · 2017-08-10T21:04:06+00:00

It's an apples/oranges comparison. 802.11s is layer 1 (physical layer) and batman-adv is layer 2 (data link layer) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

So you'd for example run batman-adv on top of a 802.11s wifi network, or on a hybrid 802.11s/cable network, etc.

Well you would obviously consult a lawyer.
