Just published some thoughts on attestations including 

- why they are best served offchain
- why casts are perfectly palatable

Feedback always welcome!

What happens in the event that you or the hubs delete this cast cuz you ran out of storage? Does that mean this cast attestation would be lost?

Great q! 

You *can* use a blockchain for this, but there are many other tools like ipfs you can use instead

When icebreaker stores an attestation, we attempt to store and host a copy of the underlying data as a pseudo ipfs node.

Yes. 

Deletion while persisting a universal identifier is an underappreciated benefit of ipfs. 

If a user requested deletion with us, we would delete our copy of that data and no longer serve it.

This is equivalent behavior to submitting a takedown request to Google to no longer show certain data, even if that data is in the public domain.

Does having a pseudo IPFS node mean that data can still be deleted permanently if the user who owns it requests it?
