IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) network. This comical name is, on the one hand, a tribute to computer scientist Joseph Licklider.When Joseph Licklider served as director of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at Licklider, he proposed the Intergalactic Computer Network. It eventually became the world's first packet-switched network to operate, the global Internet ancestor ARPANET (developed by the US Department of Defense, officially put into operation in 1969).
On the other hand, the name IPF (InterPlanetary File System) also shows the ambition of IPFS: to provide people with reliable and efficient data transmission methods, even if humans immigrate to Mars, they can still transmit data between the stars.
The Internet protocol, which was launched in May 2015, is little known because it lacks an incentive layer. Therefore, the clever Protocol Labs has developed an incentive layer Filecoin based on IPFS.
Everyone said that EOS is the 3.0 era of the blockchain, but I think IPFS and Filecoin are the biggest Uranus projects in the blockchain 3.0 era. Interestingly, there are nearly a hundred blockchain projects based on IPFS, but IPFS itself is not a blockchain project. Filecoin is the blockchain project.
Although the popularity of Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, IPFS, and Filecoin is simply not worth mentioning, Filecoin's online time is unknown and may even fail. IPFS is still rare in the world, with fewer nodes in the country. Therefore, compared with the well-known head coin and head items, it is not too much to say. But why is it so embarrassing, I still choose Stud, and unswervingly recharge the faith, a steady stream of endless. Come to see the magic of it.
IPFS Can Bypass the Blockade
In May 2017, the Wikipedia ordered the blockade of Wikipedia as Wikipedia refused to remove the paragraph on the Turkish government and Syrian jihadists.
The Turkish people stored the Turkish Wikipedia in a distributed network and were able to circumvent the blockade.
In October 2017, the Catalonia region of Spain decided to hold a referendum on independence. The Spanish government blocked all Catalan domain names and blocked the referendum.
However, the Catalan government and the public have established voting sites in a distributed network, and finally, more than 40% of citizens have successfully participated in the voting.
The ambition of IPFS goes far beyond breaking the blockade, and its ultimate vision is to turn distributed storage into a part of the computer's file system. What this project wants to solve is the fundamental problem of current Internet data transmission. Data is over-reliant on a single node, and transmission efficiency is low; data is not effectively encrypted, and user privacy cannot be guaranteed. Web pages and links often fail in a few days, content can no longer be extracted, and human history dies.
