pool.pm VS ipfs

Pool.pm

Basically, 90% of all music tokens on Cardano are publicly accessible, and pool.pm isn't the best solution for playing tracks back. My idea is basically a public site, where even non-crypto users can access the music. IMO, people do not want to pay to discover new music, but are much more likely to purchase content if they discover an artist they vibe with. Too many music NFT solutions only target the relatively small niche community of crypto users.

The biggest issue, IMO, is the fact that these links are typically publicly accessible. Any token's content can be viewed on pool.pm or extrapolated from the metadata on any block explorer without owning the token. This then begs the question, what is the point of purchasing the token if you have access to the content for free (so long as there is a mint)?

And now to my surprise, trying Cardano Scan and Cardano Explorer and pool.pm, I **was not** able to start with the asset ID of one NFT, retrace the transactions I did to then find all the other NFTs.

Not yet, but till then use https://pool.pm/ put your address, or a adahandle in the search.

You can plug your address into pool.pm to see everything in your wallet without inputting your seed phrase.

To find out if your pool is retiring you can plug the pool ticker into pool.pm and and it will tell you on the pool page. Check this one out as an example:

Its honestly a pretty fun ecosystem. You could just get a few ADA to play around with. Use Nami wallet and then pick a pool to stake to on pool.pm. Its pretty fun

Is it Yoroi? Try going to pool.pm and entering your stake address. That will give you accurate data. pooltool.io will also give you reasonably accurate data on rewards.

> 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.
