"Today we want to share an important update on Shipyard’s role in maintaining the libp2p project. We will be transitioning stewardship of the Go and JavaScript implementations of libp2p to community maintainers.

For the past several years, Shipyard has been proud to steward these critical implementations of the networking stack that underpins Ethereum, Filecoin, Celestia, Optimism, Algorand, Starknet, Flow, Mina, IPFS, and many other systems. Our engineers have worked tirelessly to keep them stable, performant, and reliable for the many projects that depend on them.

However, recent resourcing challenges have made it increasingly difficult to dedicate the people and funding required. After careful consideration—and in alignment with the team—we concluded that transitioning to community maintenance is the most responsible course of action."

Protocols and primitives should be funded and maintained the way early internet and web protocols were. Universities were often stewards. Governments participated. Grants funded. 

However, none (or very little) of it was done with capitalistic returns in mind. This is why VC-backed protocols are problematic.

How the hell do I get my ipns from piñata? Or is the a paid feature?

Obsidian

made an obsidian plugin to interact with /ipfs. Still a WIP but good enough for any interested folks to try out https://github.com/treethought/obsidian-ipfs

I want to write a Go program that interacts with a remote IPFS client (kubo). Why is it so hard to find decent documentation that works? I'm not asking for complex stuff, something that shows how to upload a file, pin it, download it, using the kubo RPC interface.

(BTW, the interface documentation is so bad, it's as if the devs don;t want it to be used by outsiders.)

WTF, this is supposed to be a mature, infra project that other devs could build on.

are there any good ipfs explorer tools??(eg. put in a cid and see its content) have just been using explore.ipld.io so far

found this nice little tool for IPFS fans (like me) @kiwi 

tried it and it works beautifully

Who are the biggest IPFS players besides Pinata that run their own infra?

you can always access your /fluidkey stealth addresses, even without our app 🔑

our recovery interface is now on IPFS and can be found at recovery.fluidkey.eth.limo - it was independently built by @nami on top of our open source stealth account kit

powered by eth.limo and @ensdomains

Have you starred IPCM on github yet? Wait, you don't even know what it is? It's a significant improvement over IPNS that actually brings content mapping onchain. Written by @stevedylandev.eth

Here's a lil something that @livid and @jango.eth have been cooking for the last year or two called CropTop. I think of croptop publishing network as a personal instagram with IPFS & crypto built in. Adding the Farcaster frame technology, open graph images, & pingem.xyz for notifications....

https://app.revnet.eth.sucks/base:2 <-- support the project, price change in 66 days!

https://croptop.eth.sucks/  <-- more info, give it a try (macos only at the moment, download code on github)

Step by step the revnets will form; slow slow slow fast; we can all win together

The beauty of IPFS is in data persistence yet not permanence. 

Persist what is valued
Purge what isn’t 
Don’t create more data waste

Built this in less than an hour

An IPFS CAR upload service in under 200 LOC that imports .car files straight to your IPFS node instance.

A perfect option for self hosting an IPFS-based upload service
