I have a use case where peers should be able to share with each other a number of mutable pin sets–so probably IPNS records pointing to a file containing a list of CIDs, or a folder or something.
Readability is not a concern, but patience is.
I noticed that it’s possible to ipfs swarm connect to a specific peer.
Does connecting to a specific peer mean that the IPNS records they publish can be resolved quickly?
Are there hidden disadvantages to this approach?
I’m also interested in this question. I know that we can set the timeout for dht resolution:
$ ipfs name resolve --help
--dhtt, --dht-timeout string - Max time to collect values during DHT resolution e.g. "30s".
Pass 0 for no timeout. Default: 1m0s.
But knowing that at least one of the peers has at least one record and setting the time to 10s is not a guarantee that the resolution will work (see How is IPNS supposed to work for a new node? for instance).
