BitcoinJS VS ipfs

Inspired by the popular Coinb.in open source wallet and powered by bitcoinjs-lib, my hot wallet is designed to provide a secure and easy-to-use experience while also adding unique features that make it stand out from the competition. It will be installable (PWA) and very easy to use (BEGINNER FRIENDLY). I'm also going to make it open source. Other cool features like an HD wallet option with auto-change address after every transaction, increasing security and anonymity, are on the roadmap.

You could also probably rely on a JS library to do the above: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib

Checkout the bitcoin sdk for a language of your preference and try, this can help build the transaction. Javascript for example: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib ( disclaimer: i never used it, only is a example )

There is also bitcoinjs which is a fantastic and quick way to get hands on coding experience with bitcoin.

MyDoge isn't open source, similar to major social media platforms. However, the wallet functionality is built on well-known, trusted open source libraries: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib https://github.com/novalabio/react-native-bip39 https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip32 https://github.com/emeraldsanto/react-native-encrypted-storage

https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib looks secure and reliable

The only interaction I had with that development team (at least I think it was that team) is that they were looking for a JS lib to do front-end transaction creation, and I pointed them to bitcoinjs-lib. Haven't heard anything after that.

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.
