Here's a pretty good example of a really silly problem that is common with IPFS https://github.com/mrusme/superhighway84/issues/38 if you integrate IPFS into your software you run into all kinds of silly compatibility issues when IPFS updates that really a library shouldn't have, that one issue is interesting but if you look at the other issues for that project, closed and opened, you'll find a bunch that are just caused by IPFS doing silly shit.

Just go to their website and look https://protocol.ai/ it's a bunch of hype buzzwords, AI, neurocomputing... it seems they're just following the noise of the day.

Actually, the main reason I never bought into filecoin was what appeared to be an overly complex / engineered system.

I didn't know IPFS had version compatibility problems. I thought the protocol was relatively fixed / predictable.

I heard IPFS has some scalability issues, but I don't know why that is. I mean, torrents have been around for ages and AFAIK they don't have scalability issues.

Yeah it is mostly feature complete which is why this is a silly problem. You update your IPFS version, your software that relies on it says it needs an older version, the software needs to be updated to change the IPFS version even though it can already probably worm with it.
