slate VS ipfs

One product I helped develop on top of Filecoin is https://slate.host, people would use it to upload photos, and then do archival on Filecoin automatically. It was really good for photos that you wanted to be on the public that you wanted to ensure backups.

Slate is even better than Dropbox.

You can try https://slate.host or https://files.chainsafe.io, What did you look at that was complicated?

Check out https://web3.storage and https://estuary.tech if you're a developer, or https://slate.host if you just want to search a very small snapshot of all the data, or https://file.app, an index I'm working on to get a better sense of price, storage capacity, and participants in the ecosystem.

Slate.host also generates an IPFS CID for uploaded files. What's the benefit of using Pinata, a "pinning" service, over Slate, a "hosting" service?

Slate: This is the world's first open-sourced decentralized storage system, which distributes your files across the Inter-Plantetary Filesystem (IPFS) rather than in a centralized network of storage clusters. The parent company, Protocol Labs, has a lot of exciting features planned w.r.t. secure storage, actually.

slate.host: The design is right. Problem 1: I made an account month ago, and now I can't login anymore because my password seems to be wrong, and there is no password-reset-option.. Problem 2: The version-state does not seem to be public-usable-ready. I think I even read about a warning of the Dev-Team to not save importend stuff on it.

If you haven't slate.host. Just dug that out of the docs and its kinda neet.

Currently the most promising product built on top of Filecoin is Slate https://slate.host/. I have tried that product but it’s not realistic that I would use it as my daily data storage.

To use it you can go to slate.host, space.storage, or files.chainsafe.io. Slate.host even gives you 4GB for free, and will start giving 50GB for free soon.

> CDNs

If you think IPFS is trying to "re-spin CDNs as their invention", I'm pretty sure you misunderstand what IPFS. The homepage is a great starting point if you're curious rather than antagonistic: https://ipfs.tech/

> IPFS doesn't solve persistence of data

I don't think it claims to solve this either? What it does claim to solve is the persistence of identifiers of data.

> doesn't solve churn in p2p systems

What P2P system has ever done so or even claimed to have done so?

We will create a web app that will let users mint a NFT in one click: creating an AI art from a prompt, storing it on IPFS and mint the unique NFT in Polygon so you can see it on OpenSea. Pretty cool right ?

IPFS, which stands for Inter-Planetary File System, is a decentralized storage system where files are distributed among peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. It operates on a "content addressable" model, meaning that each file is given a unique hash that serves as its identifier. By using this hash, you can retrieve any file from any IPFS node in the network.

Was thinking of something and figured it would be a good opportunity to ask here. With the censorship madness going on in the world and furry community included, I often worry if even places like e621 can remain free and open in the face of increasing pressure by increasingly angry and authoritarian crowds. For both this and other geek reasons I've been interested in decentralized internet technology for a long time, following projects like IFPS which I just love as a concept.

Using the Interplanetary File System, a real thing that exists today, designed for this purpose.

I post a lot about IPFS, I was using the 'ipfs mount' to virtually offer my entire collection from my NAS (on a private 'swarm' of course) to the remote stations.
