  • My experience with IPFS over the years has been abysmal, and I think people have said the protocol design cannot sustain any more growth, which is not even that big yet at all.

    You also cannot realistically search for files reliably by its hash, because of how files are divided into smaller pieces, whereby the method of dividing can change between clients, making the hashes incomparable. BitTorrent v2 solves this to my understanding, but almost nobody uses it for some reason.

    Often times you need to wait several minutes for IPFS to find a file, assuming it ever finds it, which sometimes fails even on two boxes next to each other.






  • All you need in order to do this is for the client to encrypt their password before sending it to the server. Often services that advertise “zero knowledge” platforms that use end-to-end encryption will authenticate their users in this way. If this were a website for example, there could be a javascript/wasm library used within the client page that encrypts their password before a login request is sent to the server.
