I need some blossom service like this
Will check it out
Are blossom servers centralized or decentralized? #AskNostr
👌
No limit file sharing, hello.
Gracias 😊

Works great.
LFG
New service
Hope to reach complete independence in the near future of this server
how does hosting filedrop or hosting a blossom server differ? in the context of decentralization
FileDrop
✨
nice
FileDrop can run directly on your PC, temporarily turning your computer into the host.
You don’t need a domain, paid hosting, or server configuration. FileDrop automatically tunnels your files to the web, making them accessible from anywhere. After the upload/tunneling is complete, your PC does not need to stay online — you can turn it off and the files will remain accessible.
Blossom, in contrast, works like a traditional CDN.
It requires a domain, a server, and proper setup. If your Blossom server goes down, your files immediately become inaccessible. You can mirror your files to another Blossom server for redundancy, but that requires maintaining additional servers — which can also go down.
Ups
where is my file after i turned my computer off?
as DAG on IPFS network
ah thanks, now i get it
Interesting, 0xchat also supports selecting filedrop as the file server in the latest version — try it out.

IPFS
How does IPFS do NAT holepunching?
no file size limit and other benefits, because of ipfs, but i guess the cost here is reliability goes down as the file size goes up, and the file being popular or not, and upload/download speeds fluctuates.
i wonder if this can be updated to where we can significantly increase its reliability by adding economic incentives to it. Aside from an ads system (that's a thing i'll work on down the line that'll be an evolution to how something like google ads work), I'm thinking that you can query who holds the chunks and each has a fuel tank that basically indicates "i can guarantee I'll hold onto this/these chunks if there's gas (money) in my tank (wallet) for it" and either the uploader of the file or anybody else can see this and can send e-cash to these ipfs nodes. Basically the market decides to help significantly increase the chances of survival of the files/chunks they want on multiple ipfs nodes. There are a few issues to solve with such a system and a bunch of work to do to get things right if this is the direction, but it's interesting and opens up a market for more people and with less headaches =3
You're correct, however that issue was resolved starting with version 0.26. Adding incentive mechanisms would transform it into Filecoin, which isn't desirable for most users. IPFS works reliably - I've successfully tested it with files as large as 6 GB without any issues.
The description says it uses a local node, but I don't think that's implemented.
Here is fix for you friend,
ipfs config --json Routing.Type dhtclient
bandwidth hungry - you are right, small part to pay for availability
Thought so, it's the same as WebRTC or wireguard, or mesh networks like yggdrasil, you need one publicly connected peer atleast.
I think blossom servers should implement a BYO storage BUD that inplements holepunching through yggdrasil. That seems like the sanest of all approaches.
I'll do it soon-ish I need it for formstr anyways.
Nice! It's great to see Ethereum/Web3 related technology used by Nostr 💪
I've been hosting an IPFS node (kubo) for 5 years+, if you have any questions, hit me up
last time i tried mirroring it was an rt on nostrudel it took a while, it was three videos, I don't think any other nostr clients have implemented it.
It would be nice for some simple documentation on how to host nip05 on .eth’s if people got em
You’re always welcome to contribute 🙂
I’ve intentionally kept the code simple and the implementation as close to the raw IPFS spec as possible.

What do you think about
Do you think Helia will become mainstream instead of Kubo since it's JavaScript-based?
I haven't seen any major deployments of Helia yet, but getting rid of the dependency on centralized gateways is direction where IPFS is definitely evolving... just like Ethereum is moving towards having stateless nodes.
It's just going to take a long time, we're just at the beginning. Kubo will definitely be here for a few more years :)
I thought it was only for your uploads, not for reposting someone else's note?
Implementing ENS would be nice - but that would ideally require a separate NIP, because through NIP-05 it would be dependent on one centralized gateway like eth.xyz. A custom NIP would allow you to use your own Ethereum node or have several of those gateways set up for redundancy at least
Interesting
you are a nostr hostage? 😅
facts 👌
Thanks, Oberon. I’m unfortunately sort of done with all the "getting used to" after more than a year around here. There isn’t much left on NIP-01 once I filter out low quality posts (though I’ll miss Japanese Nostr, some of the Nostr devs, and a few artsy folks). That said, there are some brave, persistent people trying to raise the bar on Nostr, buried beneath mountains of BTC L2 marketing posts, bots, GAB-like stuff, etc. Unfortunately, I don’t see this changing despite their valiant efforts with hashtags, custom relays, and so on. Still, have a look at my follow list, there are some gem npubs there, even though a lot of them have also quit Nostr.
I’m sad to hear that. You are one of the most interesting voices in my feed!
