RE: Why the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Steemit are so great together

in #steemit8 years ago

Good to know. Yes, 2 MB is not nearly enough, in some cases. I am not familiar with all of the technical aspects of IPFS yet. I wonder if this is a limitation that ipfs.pics applied. If so, sounds like it opens up some interesting opportunities to create one that allows larger file handling.

Sort:  

yes, it's only about ipfs.pics website, not ipfs itself.

but also gateway.ipfs.io might have problems handling larger files. i experienced timeouts.

Sounds like an area that may need some attention. ;)

it's just a cost factor i guess. mid-term we should use ipfs directly through a browser extension anyway, rather than using web gateways, but oh well, pesky Metcalfe.
