From what I understand how IPFS works, adding files on IPFS works like this: We put a file to IPFS on computer A, it computes [hash] We enter ipfs://[hash] on computer B Computer B starts the search on DHT where [hash] is located, this takes a while When it does, it connects to the peer containing…

I like this idea, and I think there might be some things to learn here from the magnet: URIs that bittorrent uses.

Yes, magnet has the alternative download location and tracker url. This would be similar.

I just want to note that this is exactly how matrix handles extra discoverability, which is kinda interesting. matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/1704-matrix.to-permalinks.md # matrix.to permalink navigation Currently Matrix uses matrix.to URIs to reference rooms and other entiti…

Interesting idea. Analog to magnet links is obvious, but in IPFS there are two types of hints we could think about: Just PeerID(s) QmSoLnSGccFuZQJzRadHn95W2CrSFmZuTdDWP8HXaHca9z :green_apple: speeds up content discovery by providing a hint for connecting to specified peers :green_apple: sho…

@lidel @sebaseba Recommend to add this solution to the newly created meta issue below. [image] Issue: Content Resolution And Gateway Performance opened by Stebalien on 2019-05-28 Finding content on the IPFS network is often quite slow. This meta-issue tracks the issue, th…

IPFS team is considering to implement similar feature in IPFS gateway. So after we ipfs add some data in node A, then we can fetch it in IPFS gateway, with the IP address of node A specified, so as to help the gateway find the data faster. [image] Issue: Content routing hint via HTTP h…
