Is there a good site which helps you pin files rather than just having them cached?
How long do files remain cached usually, if you go offline?
I don’t kow any services like this yet. I think that filecoin will give incentive to that point resolution.
To fulfill that need you’ll have to build an ipfs-cluster by yourself or manage pinning through nodes with pubsub process. The most advance I know is Textile, with cafe nodes and more advance features.
As I didn’t really test them already, I let others to give their thoughts about
My company runs a service called Temporal (https://temporal.cloud) that lets you upload files to our IPFS Cluster that runs in our datacenter , across a total of three IPFS nodes. Free accounts can store up to 3GB of data for 1 month, while paid accounts can store terabytes, upon terabytes of data up to 2 years.
As for how long data gets cached for, this entirely depends on the nodes you’re viewing your data on. Typically I believe the default is to purge cache after 12 hours.

Hey, postables, thanks! That is a good service. It is fast and the interface slick. I love the Lens IPFS search! First time using that, also fast. I joined 
Could you briefly summarize the purpose of RTradeCoin (RTC)?
On Temporal it’s just another method of paying for the service. Outside of Temporal it has a smart contract based staking system that generates RTC every block that passes on the ethereum mainnet. It’s in no way required to use the service however.
There is https://pinata.cloud/

Sorry to tell you, but all filecoin money were stolen years ago. It’s a scam.
Do you mean, no filecoin is ready to run?
I don’t really care as I am going to use libre currency blockchain that is available: https://duniter.org/
It provides a stable meta-economy system we would like to use for interplanetary p2p jukebox in developement (https://www.copylaradio.com/)
To be honest, it is almost working, we still miss React Native Developer to make a full Dweb Service.

2+ years,. $257mln and still no anything working prototype. They started “early miner” program waiting list 1+ year ago - still nothing. Reading their website - nothing actually were done, only whitepaper was rewriten million of times, just because the initial idea was a fake out of thin air, briliant idea how to strip some cash.
For such a money and time the whole better IPFS + a lot of subservices can be developed. It’s a typical scam of early ICO’s.
Take a look other guys https://storj.io/ - they silently got the whole “filecoin” idea working, paid and even implemented as FileZilla connection protocol.
hello guys
what is the project https://github.com/filecoin-project/go-filecoin ?
About duniter i follow that since 1 years now and i like this approach : free money.
Thanks lowtech.
Can anybody else verify this?
Another couple of possibilities are:
Axel is rolling out as an IPFS content delivery network, and is inviting people to support their network as masternodes. (For example, you provide $1000, 1000GB bandwidth/month and a VPS and you gain tokens in return. To pin there requires axel tokens, they give you a few to start. Only “pinnable” for a couple of weeks at the moment…

This is very fast and easy, though how long will it last? 100MB file size upload at the moment.
