Every other form of money that someone somewhere is getting for free but you are presented at face value is a scam. If every project starts creating it's own coin we end up with the same situation that Bitcoin was created to fix - every country with it's own money and banks getting rich for moving money around, where exchanges will be the new banks and they will get robbed and lose people's money. It is actually happening already, search "exchange hack" and you will find articles about dozens of hacks with billions of dollars stolen from the people and all because of greedy people wanting to print their own money by creating their own coin for their project.

IIIRotor Bitcoin was created to make the world better. Everything else was made to enrich the creators. Bitcoin is like Linux, it’s open and it’s community driven. The other projects are like Microsoft, they are businesses that have marketing budget and use it to create the perception of community that OneCoin and BitConnect did and also out of the crypto world Theranos which was the Ethereum equivalent in biotech. There is a reason why everyone that builds open source software builds new layers on top of Linux and not incompatible completely new kernel operating systems that you can show off idling on the desktop and say they are faster and more secure. That stuff works for startup scams which in crypto are ICOs but in general in the computer world if you want to build new software you do that on top of the most secure and stable kernel like Linux so that if your software fails the whole system doesn’t collapse. All useful new functionality is developed on bitcoin, it has smart contracts, anonymity features and scaling optimisations that actually work and are designed to be long term solutions. Everything else is recycling bitcoin improvement proposals from 7+ years ago that got rejected and is monetising on people not doing their research and throwing money at the next pump.
Can you make a video on the Oyster protocol? It takes a slightly different approach to the same goal of ifps, also adding volatile memory functionality. It is built on top of the IOTA tangle so could potentially be distributed across all smart devices in the near future
I think the current answer is blacklisting hashes. Nodes would have to voluntarily accept to ignore/block replication and sharing of hashes for blacklisted files.
@@projectpegasus1297 of course one expect those blacklists to be created and maintained by some legal entity, but we can imagine different entities providing different blacklists.
I'm extremely interested in the IPFS. Can't wait to see it explode with growth. It would be good to see a way to host files with a currency other than filecoin.

it wasn't. it was made to provide unavailability-resistance, temper-resistance, and censorship-resistance. all of which are desperately needed in the current economical and political landscape.

Thank you verry much, now i got the idea of how all of this works. Especially the way you talked about the decentralized internet. Can you please make a video explaining the work of Git?
I’d be interested to know how they plan on accounting for illegal content like pirated videos etc. If you’re participating in something like Filecoin, how do you avoid inadvertently becoming host to something you didn’t want to? Also in your example of using the file hash to ensure no tampering was done to the file you’d still be downloading the content before being able to hash it so the nefarious user has still managed to get the content onto your system. Do they plan on providing some incentive against this? Maybe an intelligent blacklist on the client’s that would start to ignore content served from and ignore requests to serve other nodes that don’t play nicely? Eventually those nodes would be cut off from the network. In any case, very interesting topic and well described (and animated)!
idk if this is true, but i think if you store only a fragment of a file in your pc, it is impossible to tell what you have. in other words, i dont think you'd be breaking any copyright laws if your hdd happens to be storing a fragment of a copyrighted file.
IPFS uses gateways that act somewhat like ISP (anyone can form a gateway) . such gateways see the signature of the file you want to have and direct you to the right nodes. that means that you know the content in advance without downloading. as far as malware, you only share the things you get a copy of, just like the regular internet, if you don't want to host malware... don't go to shady places , its the same deal. as far as filecoin and hosting things you don't , they are fragmented and can't be accessed by accident , so even if you are hosting a part of something dangerous, you are not accessing it so no harm can be done, its like an unloaded gun, it won't shoot on its own without you touching it as far as copyright issues , you prevent it the same way you do with torrents (you can't defend vs it), arrest half of the world that uses it , good luck.
