Looks great. Especially because it seems to have a distributed search solution. How well will IOTA scale?

Does IPFS really not have a Windows installer? Because that actually requires a lot less effort for non-technical people than a chdir and then running something in cmd.exe

An ipfs installer would be awesome. I tested the integration of the js version of ipfs, but for me, it doesn’t make sense that every single project starts there own IPFS server in the background. Imagine in the future you have like ten tabs open in your browser and you 10 server running. Also, it’s a lot slower performance-wise, and you have problems gettings this running in older browsers, etc. Regarding the scaling we choose IOTA basically because we believe it’s the best solution regarding the scaling aspect and of course because it’s feeless.
For IPFS you can use Siderus Orion: https://orion.siderus.io as it is designed for non-technical people
That's great. There should be an MIT option though.
Thanks!
please don't shoot yourself in the foot and do a little bit of googling before seriously considering this for anything. IOTA is a total garbage fire. See other comments here.
