It is similar to providing torrents. It works, but everyone wants the easy way, the easy solution which works $now. Maybe we have different goals, which would be okay aswell, you can have different goals but still work on a common base as teams. On an update semi-related to this thread: I don't have any illusions, gnunet-fs integration will take some time going from the theory lynX, Grothoff and mainly myself thought of, talked through and wrote down to having it in place. It will require some additions to gnunet-fs which need to be discussed, etc. > I would love such a thing to happen (that=E2=80=99s also why we had a GSo= C on > using GNUnet=E2=80=99s file sharing capabilities a while back.) >=20 > The simplest thing to get started, as you wrote, would be to have an > HTTPS gateway to IPFS (which =E2=80=98guix substitute=E2=80=99 could read= ily talk to > without any modification), though one would still need to populate IPFS > in the first place. >=20 > Ludo=E2=80=99. >=20 >=20 --=20 ng0 GnuPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 GnuPG: https://n0is.noblogs.org/my-keys https://www.infotropique.org https://krosos.org --jgssl6x5yarm26pw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEqIyK3RKYKNfqwC5S4i+bv+40hYgFAlmb7YgACgkQ4i+bv+40 hYhMIw//Uh7slDN5Yc4LVJveC/Dw+DyAVTq5s2fuN2W5Z0O0b1QdrI3Ur+NL8uDm +EfqHwbAeJATxY67KC+PZV/F22Ye8soCJl5i6B7H8XDCspZ6xlfTsEIupHOKbDLB jvfQowt6wv8W6wAnSr7YM3UnmhlS3T3N3BJJg6tgdTsjiodS4Hbo1ivwYPeQ8YBS H1M4Rxz/DWvMmoAqlmfJd4ijTFUKcTt/9IiG/YSEqy0J76DxMQ6rDNXD2TG0Xkvg DZawr48qhnL35q7WSPM2KdABy8OgFZD6yir99GWly+iTftkWVO6Vb1mQP8viXZ3D pwItXUEUxXpaBbIJJnzlRgDyaEt+5oPEq0KW0C5/TNZcx6hXq1aYmBP9BpwzKw5B L++7g3ynJRj1ReqH6p/e2NV1qNtNd+w/WGslzjZJz9TbqZ2fWHNujOTBo4yt1HKp CaeY2cRR7uCyaDNO0PbptxECmF7FJPyibu4+3LgM2jHNP5dTMCtDqjKTGAtABQPg /Igqcy5E2ibmbD7f9kYd6sCwQOhRk48B/I1pmNAS8MpZEIcTJiXYWXo+0i+/84yR 8NRgQ5nzrofUemWbBVGb0MCIsfQ0lZ5wwmudkDrzSaZVqQoybZitJDV7R9+LZnFA CP3j3JX9UU5+umi0ErOY8qAARWx3yQ7s3U3NPcg1rekehnY0c1E= =D3WI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jgssl6x5yarm26pw--
