This sounded like many of the bitcoin projects, specially filecoin and upon reading further I came to know it is by the same guys.<p>Similar projects have been in development for past few years such as <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;feross&#x2F;webtorrent" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;feross&#x2F;webtorrent</a> and zeronet<p>This has same problems as the bitcoin infrastructure though:<p>1. It is unscalable. A page built on IPFS receiving huge inflow of comments would generate many diffs quickly and as soon as they spread in the network they get outdated, thereby clogging space on people&#x27;s disks but more importantly clogging the bandwidth where nodes compete to download the quickly changing diffs.<p>2. This is not completely decentralised because it uses bittorrent trackers to identify the nodes in the network. Taking down the the trackers would take down the system as well.<p>Webtorrent is an already working, fast, alternative to IPFS but still centralised. Think of it this way, can you do a pure peer-to-peer webrtc site without needing a ICE&#x2F;TURN&#x2F;STUN server? Peer discovery is the centralised part of the problem.
