RE: Introducing DSound: a decentralized sound platform using STEEM and IPFS

[theghost1980]

This is great news. Well done!
I have some questions:

1. Audio data will be uploaded to a server? or will just be in our browsers locally?. I ask this just to know if we need to keep our ipfs local servers online in order to share our content and have it online always.
2. Is there any security concerns while running an ipfs server?
3. What's the best way to contribute with a node o a server? What kind of pc do we need to do that?

Thanks. O brigado!

Thanks a lot! :) In reply:

1. If you don't have IPFS running, audio is sent to some gateway and will be spread through the network to whom ever likes the track if they have IPFS running, if not it will survive in the network for some time until there is no blocks anymore on any of the nodes. If you have IPFS running the it's the same, but you upload locally and the network will come to your IPFS node to forward your content to the other nodes, and if they like it the also serve it from then on...
2. If you set it up correctly There is no major concern as of now.
3. The best is to have IPFS locally, the more nodes there are, the faster the network!
   Obrigado! :)
