It gets saved locally so you can access it when they're offline. It'll also be possible to instruct your pinning service to seed it on your behalf.

I'll talk more about this in the future as Beaker 0.9 is closer to release. We basically are creating a filesystem with a root dat (which is private). Your public dat will then be "mounted" to it at /public so it feels like one unified FS. The structure will look something like this:

  /
  /.data/.unwalled.garden/* <- private records
  /public
  /public/.data/.unwalled.garden/* <- public records

At this stage, I'm pretty sure we're going to need to use proxies to solve this. We're open to using an anonymity protocol like Tor but still uncertain about the tradeoffs.

Cool, these folks: https://hashmatter.com/ https://github.com/hashmatter seem to be doing something with onion routing and IPFS, but I'm quite unqualified to understand exactly what or if it's any good.
