Just fyi, I do not have ipfs running over tor/i2p. It's only the gateway.

[DonaldTsang]

@Kycklingar any ideas on https://github.com/RTradeLtd/go-ipfs-plugin-i2p-gateway and https://github.com/RTradeLtd/Temporal ?

@Kycklingar any ideas on https://github.com/RTradeLtd/go-ipfs-plugin-i2p-gateway and https://github.com/RTradeLtd/Temporal ?

Temporal's just got a tunnel pointed at it right now, it's running over i2p in the same sense as @Kycklingar's gateway. Same applies for the gateway plugin, it'll only make the gateway available. My goal is deeper integration but it will take some time to get it right.

[DonaldTsang]

@eyedeekay let me get this straight, both PBooru and Temporal are both "access IPFS through I2P" but they only protect the anonymity of the user and not the host? Or is it the other way around?

[Kycklingar]

@DonaldTsang Correct

[DonaldTsang]

@Kycklingar So how do we create a system where artists can anonymously "host" content on IPFS? Or is that already done as "hosting" and accessing content on IPFS is the same?

[Kycklingar]

@DonaldTsang If they want to stay anonymous then they would need to tell someone else to host it for them. As long as one ipfs node hosting the content is online, it is available through the network.

[DonaldTsang]

@Kycklingar so you can't use I2P to protect the "host" in IPFS? I guess if that is true we can still make something work with anonymous artists and decentralized storage (assume that we can make multiple mirrors possible).

[Kycklingar]

@DonaldTsang I have this experimental crdt over ipfs project you might want to test. http://localhost:8080/ipfs/zdj7Wbyp3bzPq7Ap5EyaDFZDdwF2H388abhVfb6H4dCsv6nv6/
Just don't use it in it's current form for anything important.

[DonaldTsang]

@Kycklingar what does that do?

[Kycklingar]

@DonaldTsang It replicates the data across all nodes.
