metamask-extension VS ipfs

Have an Ethereum wallet, preferably Metamask installed.

A  Metamask Account.

Plenty of projects are source-available, but not open source, and get tons of issues, and even contributions (https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension off the top of my head)

You can create an attestation based on an existing schema or create your own. Schemas define the format in which attestations will be made, and in this case, we will use the Is Human schema to attest that the owner of a certain address is human. For this example, you only need to connect your Metamask wallet (or any wallet) to Scroll Sepolia, then enter the address you want to attest and click Make attestation. You can choose whether you want the off-chain attestation, i.e., free, obtained only by signing a transaction. Alternatively, you can choose to make it on-chain and pay for the transaction to make it public and connect it to smart contract logic. In this case, you will need to obtain funds in Scroll Sepolia through a Scroll Sepolia Faucet.

Metamask (9000 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension

For this tutorial you will need Metamask or other wallet of your choice, with Scroll Sepolia funds that you can get from a Sepolia faucet and then bridge them to L2 using the Scroll Sepolia bridge. Alternatively, you can use a Scroll Sepolia Faucet to get funds directly on L2.

16) Open Metamask app. In this instruction we will use Metamask extension for Chrome browser.

> I get a 3-5 sec lag on launch [0] as it prepares the browser to block ads.

uBO is typically ready in a fraction of second, so "3-5 sec" is not normal. In Firefox all extensions sit in the same process, so it's possible another extension is preventing uBO to be ready in a timely manner, this has happened[1].

> 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.
