We are getting there ...

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

You're right to ask—IPFS does lack a built-in economic incentive like blockchains often have, which is a common point of confusion. But think of it this way: unused storage is wasted storage. If you’ve got 100 GB of disk space and you’re only using 1 GB, that remaining 99 GB is just sitting idle. Why not let it do something useful? In practice, people often host content they care about—like files from people they follow on Nostr or communities they’re part of. When you pin (i.e., intentionally store) someone’s content, you’re helping keep it online. And because IPFS is content-addressed and peer-to-peer, your node automatically shares those files with others who request them. It’s like a collaborative spiderweb: everyone contributes a little, and in return, everyone can access what they need. Plus, if you store your own files on IPFS, other nodes can serve them on your behalf when you're offline—as long as someone has pinned or cached them. So the more people participate, the more resilient the whole network become

npub13qrr...almy 7 months ago

I am interested in this, seems like a great move in the right direction for IP protected media. But it still seems like you need to be running your own node to use this? - Start 9 or Umbrel - Is that right? I understand the benefit of having a node but most musicians don't have the money to buy one of these machines. Thanks for pushing the needle forward for helping content creators protect their media. 👏🏻

Derek Ross derekross@grownostr.org 7 months ago

the pinned friends / follow / WoT integration is cool, what's to stop me from just running this node, putting in your npub, and uploading media? i don't have to sign any type of nostr authentication for this, so what's to stop anyone from using anyone's node? it's a cool concept. keep working on it.

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

you don't need your own node, just like blossom you can use public nodes

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

No, usually, as long as you're accessing a file, it's moved back to the top. This means that only purged files are the ones least accessed.

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

let me know if you need any help

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

I dropped it because it wasn't optimized, and I don't like Blossom servers. The technology is completely different here; once you try this, it renders Blossom servers obsolete. Best of all, it works independently, without requiring any special Nostr events.

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

Since IPFS is a public network, if you need something private, you'll need to encrypt it, convert it to a blob, and then upload it. This is similar to how 0xChat works for file drops.

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

There is a common misunderstanding between pinning and redundancy. While pinning does provide protection against garbage collection, it doesn't automatically make the pinned files more accessible. Instead, files that are frequently accessed are typically cached on multinodes and generally have better availability than files pinned to a single node that might happen to be offline. so IPFS as a network favours active files

npub13qrr...almy 7 months ago

@npub1x6au...y6wq so where does the media get stored and protected? by a hosted, paid service provider?

npub1x6au...y6wq 7 months ago

well you do me a favour, don't be confused install 0xchat and pick our file-drop server at It's free : https://filedrop.besoeasy.com then you run your own on your laptop or pc or mac or raspberry pi - it will backup your media automatically on your computer so even if https://filedrop.besoeasy.com deletes your media, as soon as your laptop turn on, it will repopulate your media to https://filedrop.besoeasy.com

it automatically does, all you need is to post the media on your NOSTR. my example node : https://filedrop.besoeasy.com/admin.html
