 FYI, IPFS is just a protocol (like nostr) and requires for someone to host it (like nostr relays), and is not something that is cheap or easy to rely on. 🐶🐾🫡 
 Hmm, never heard of it.  
 You didn’t miss much 🐶🐾🤣 
 Did you guys get the issue at Nostr.Band sorted out? I saw @nostr.build 's note but I never noticed an outage. 
 Yes. And it’s nostr build not band 🐶🐾🤣 
 Oh my gosh 😂, did it again. Too similar of names. 
 Long Live Web 1.0 
 What do you think, does it has a future? 
 Great on paper, shit in practice (IMHO) 🐶🐾🫡 
 Thx⚡️ @The Zap Master ™ 🐶🐾🙏🏻

 Yea new domain.

"Use Fleek to upload, store & fetch files from IPFS in an easy to use, performant, and familiar way including UI, API and CLI interfaces. With S3 & Minio compatability, built in pinning orchestration, compression, image resizing, & global CDN, Fleek’s storage solution has everything you need built into one seamless product. " 
 Once on IPFS you can rotate gateways to access the CID. 
 I disagree with pricing, not affordable for our use case. 🐶🐾🫡 https://i.nostr.build/Rmw2e.jpg  
 Offer a Nostr Build Pro that mirrors the S3 bucket to IPFS 😜 
 No demand, no supply. I am yet to hear one person saying that they will pay good amount of money per month. And we will need more than one to support that, much more. 🐶🐾🫡 
 Have you switched to R2 yet? 
 Long ago 🐶🐾🫡 
 Ipfs has never worked for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  
 After a couple of years, I tried the IPFS desktop app again a week ago. It didn’t work well then and it’s even worse now. Lags, can’t get files, freezes, etc. 
 Just like cloud storage, but still required hard drive and energy to run it 
 IDK why, but node reputation seems to make a HUGE difference to file propagation on IPFS.

My IPFS node couldn't propagate to save its life at first, but after ignoring it for a year I found my content appears very quickly at gateways across the globe. Of course, my node in Tor-only, so YMMV considerably.

Your nostr analogy is very accurate. 
 I think it’s a protocol with great marketing and shitty design and implementation. There is nothing decentralized about IPFS in practice 🐶🐾🫡 
 The on-ramps resemble Bitcoin before Lightning, unfortunately. 
 ipfs has a non-equity-financing shitcoin-style consensus

blossom is not encumbered by this nonsense, and lets you add whatever broadcast mechanism you want to

in Domain Driven Design this is exactly the methodology recommended: keep the separate things separated, don't mix them up

in Golang and Java programming theory, it's the difference between an interface and an implementation

the whole purpose of interfaces (which predate objects by a long time) is to allow simple implementation of some functionality without any assumptions or opinions outside of a simple API

this is the right way to do things, and bitcoin does this, lightning does this on top of bitcoin, this is why they are both winners in terms of architecture

lightning has a brittleness problem though, and a fog of war around the availability of paths in the state channel web

i think that this does maybe indicate the use of chaumian e-cash systems to enable async payments and failover mechanisms, but there may be other options, the Ark protocol might help, either solve or inspire a better solution 
 Blossom I shall look up, thanks mleku! 
 i think it will become the glue for the future web with user content on nostr and media hosted on blossom

and there will be numerous ways that both are spread around, including using a blossom based protocol to store events 
 For static sites/assets it works. That's about it lol.
