I had tried the project two years ago, but after a few days I had too many unauthorized accesses, because the project was still in the early stages. Has anyone had some experience in the meantime or is this still an "insider" project?

Personally didn't like that there was no option for setting any transfer limits, using it with limited mobile plan is like "internet suiccide"

[yawnxyz]

none of the examples on the homepage work, so I'm assuming it's still wonky

What do you mean unauthorized accesses?

IPFS is heavily used for NFTs.

Which, unfortunately, is full of folks who don’t understand that the image disappears when no ones hosting it. People call the IPFS the “perma-web” and expect their content to be hosted in perpetuity for free.

Imaging paying for artwork and not downloading a copy because you think it’s archived. Poor art buyers.

So it's like torrents when they have no seeders?

[Zetaphor]

Yes, same basic idea. IPFS requires at least one client to be "pinning" the content. Pinata seems to be the preferred choice for NFT's, creating a significant weak point in the ecosystem.

The preferred choice is just to pin your content directly, here’s an example with Hicetnunc:

What a piece of work is man...
