bee
Bee is a Swarm client implemented in Go. It’s the basic building block for the Swarm network: a private; decentralized; and self-sustaining network for permissionless publishing and access to your (application) data. (by ethersphere)

Monthly Development Update — February 2023
February was a big month for the Swarm network. The price of postage stamps has been recalibrated with the release of Bee 1.20, which marks a major milestone for Swarm’s self-sustaining network. The Research Track has also completed the documentation for Phase 4, which details the work of this phase of the Storage incentives roadmap.

There is a project called Swarm that does exactly this.

Storage incentives — when, what and how. An EthBerlin meetup recap
In short, there will be five phases to the upgrade (you can expect a more detailed blog on the topic soon). Phase 1 started on 13 September with the breaking release of Bee 1.8.0. This phase will be followed by four other phases that will upgrade the storage incentives mechanism, recalibrate the network, change the storage price, introduce a decentralised price oracle and improve the overall state of the network.

Monthly Development Update — July 2022
There were two versions of the Bee client released in the last month. It is important to mention that node operators are requested to update to the latest version (1.7.0) as soon as possible because there was a change in the protocol.

Reminder: Libgen is also hosted on the IPFS network here, which is decentralized and therefore much harder to take down
As Libgen is an ever-expanding collection wouldn't something like IPFS Cluster fit this a lot better?

Fast way to sync ipfs datastores across computers?
There's also IPFS-cluster if you're into those features.

Has anyone successfully migrated their content off pinata and onto a self hosted ipfs server?
Then from there, it should be however connectable your server is. If you run multiple, there's ipfs-cluster as an option to sync them. Most of the time I simply send a CID list over ssh.

How do I "USE" IPFS Cluster?
The cluster as in https://cluster.ipfs.io/ would control the pinning of data. afaik the control would be private, like what it pins. The docs have a space for a key which I assume controls it.

Help Preserve the Internet with Archiveteam's Warrior
AFAIK you can use IPFS (& clusters[0]) without relying on the crypto parts of that ecosystem. That ought to fit rather well with the use case.
