@Torfinn @mav @EposVox trying to resolve ownership is pointless - there can be as many copies as you like :)

Piracy for the win

There are only public keys and the people willing to believe them

Torfinn replied to Risotto

@risottobias @mav @EposVox so what you don’t like about web3 primitives is that they prioritize digital chain of custody and you disagree with digital ownership?

@Torfinn @risottobias @EposVox creating digital scarcity from objects that shouldn't be scarce is more capitalism.

In a world that needs a lot less capitalism.

So this gets into things that I would call "evil"

DRM is bad and so is this.

@Torfinn @risottobias @EposVox suddenly this place feels a lot more like Twitter.

Torfinn replied to mav

@mav @risottobias @EposVox I don’t know how to say this in a way that isn’t capitalistic but I have data I may not want to share with you but I hope to store and I don’t expect someone to provide that service to me entirely for free although I really like the idea that you could store that data for me and make enough money to justify doing it without giving a bunch of money to AWS at a cost that equates to the cost of running the network and not incentivizing some big organization

@Torfinn @risottobias @EposVox

But that's not a function of IPFS, you're talking about something like Filecoin.

You could just as easily do that with a handshake agreement and a direct value transfer of your choice, and save a lot of trees.

There’s a really easy way to fix that. Bing! I just fixed my feed.
Blocked the crypto bro.

@Torfinn @EposVox @risottobias I haven't no. Please tell me it doesn't use a blockchain.

@Torfinn @EposVox @risottobias so having very briefly skimmed that, it kind of goes where I expected it would based on what I had already read. It's a distributed object store and it sounds like a really cool one if I had a use for one. It does seem like a logical place to start with a kind of distributed archive for key pieces of information.

What I don't understand is this whole web3 thing, and how this relates to cryptocurrency. I don't see that they relate at all, other than they use cryptography and are distributed. Lots of things do those two things.

@mav @EposVox @risottobias curriculum.pl-launchpad.io/cur so after reading the white paper at a glance I think you can recognize that not only is IPFS distributed peer to peer network, but also that it relies on a chain of immutable data as described in the IPFS launchpad curriculum I linked.

Note, IPFS is considered by the designers and maintainers of IPFS as the linkage between web2 and web3 by enabling content addressable data the mission of filecoin to incentivize distributed decentralized data storage and ultimately safeguard all of humanities most important data. Content addressable is a step in a process.
