ipfs VS public-gateway-checker

> 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.

Like this? https://ipfs.tech/

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.

Public Gateway Checker | IPFS

The basic concept for how this works is by taking the ipfs native url and converting it to one that uses an ipfs gateway, in my case I've added the official ipfs gateways as the fallback and the Cloudflare gateways as the primary.

Out of pure curiosity, I've just checked 24 online public IPFS gates (source: https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/) if they could handle my Tornado Cash request. It is not as bad as it might have been, but probably many just did not yet implement blacklist.

As for Pinata, they shold be an IPFS provider which you should be able to view using any IPFS gateway.

there's other gateways https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/

Please upload to https://ipfs-gateway.cloud/

1. This hosting is based on IPFS, which mean the data is immutable and no censorship can be apply, you can retrieve the data from another gateway in this list https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/. You can find out more detail about IPFS here https://ipfs.io/

2. The owner of this hosting has donated his storage to the community and you can upload for free, this was original posted on Reddit at: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipfs/comments/v0bnd1/ipfsgatewayclo.... He has approximately 13.7PB of storage =)))

After upload, you might want to save all the CID of your data and share them with your people (just like a URL)

A list of their Public Gateway is available on Github https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/ Maybe something can be scripted to block them with your firewall.

Recently I Pulled requests to https://github.com/ipfs/public-gateway-checker/ But it seems that the inspector is not very diligent, haha.
