They took 6 years to fix this, but finally did it.

Now IPFS will be great.

Thank god I saw the kidding part. Lol. Almost rage mode.

It’s actually a shitty version of what Zooko preposed 17 years ago

What are the specific gripes.

- I don't believe a DHT based on cryptographic hashes will scale in any way, scalable hashing requires some locality sensitivity.

- The incentives for hosting files and hash tables are poorly aligned, peer mostly works for someone else.

- No intrinsic support for discovery, IPNS and pubsub are tacked on as afterthoughts.

However understanding of distributed systems isn't great on nostr so I don't think it's these that are your gripes.

Local pins? Geo tag yourself to the NSA? That’s a legit gripe/joke

Still no stream forming, still no pin-subscription, and still very much inefficient, lol. Still, this is a nice feature, credit where it's due.

IPFS is underrated as fuck.
