Bitcoin VS ipfs

Well AI is the new blockchain, but that doesn't mean blockchain is dead. Bitcoin is here with a new release of Bitcoin Core. Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. The project includes a wallet and graphical user interface. The latest update includes new features such as support for Testnet4, policy changes, updates to RPCs and REST APIs, detection of wallet transactions when they conflict with the mempool, and lots more. Read up on all the changes in the Bitcoin release notes.

To be able to follow along, you must have both bitcoind and lnd installed.

As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.

I don't mind pinning, but back in the day I was having issues using IPFS to transfer small files between devices. I admit I haven't investigated to see if the problems were ever resolved.

I've been watching https://github.com/ipfs/helia which is going to replace https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs and hoping they can get an IPFS node working in the browser.

I haven't tried https://js.ipfs.tech/ (js-ipfs) in a while, what is the state of it?

On the topic of IPFS, but also slightly tangential -- how has nobody written an Activity Pub client/server in Javascript and distributed it as a Browser Addon?

If IPFS can be literally hosted via a Firefox Extension[1], how has nobody done the same for an arguably easier protocol like Activity Pub?

If you can load them up in js-ipfs that might be better?

Store the content in ipfs and just put the hash in the URL? I haven't used https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs in this capacity but I'm under the impression that that's what it's supposed to do.

You need an import statement instead of require since Node has upgraded to the new module system. Use import * as IPFS from 'ipfs-core'. Read more here: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs

Please take a look at https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/docs/core-api/FILES.md for more understanding

You could include js-ipfs[0] and fetch all your resources from IPFS without going through a gateway. However, this approach would make the site fully dependent on JavaScript.

A PWA with a Service Worker could perhaps implement its own client-side "gateway", translating public gateway URLs into direct IPFS access. Without the Service Worker (or without JS) it would fall back to using the gateway.

Of course,You can try it out. You can create some Hash to IPFS from this link Adding data to IPFS https://js.ipfs.io/ and then browse the hash in https://ipfs-gateway.cloud/ It is directly connected to IPFS Node.
