A comment on IPFS Pics. Parent comment
Personally, I'd like to have some data backed up in several places and have links that don't break. IPFS allows for that.
Flickr sells up and goes down? All the links to images break.
> However, it's not really IPFS that is making the permanence possible so much as the Internet Archive in that circumstance.
Both, surely. The major thing that IPFS also allows is backups of the IA without any single person needing to be able to host absolutely everything.
You are right though, there is a big difference between allowing permanent backups and guaranteeing them.
