  • How to host an encrypted page
    In case of you don't trust them, it gets harder. Especially if you need to have it hosted without any trace to yourself. I'd probably pay a service to store my data on ipfs. You can pay with crypto. But I'm this case there's the question, how will you be able to access it. My thought would be to have a [tails][tails] USB with the necessary software. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

  • Not sure if I this is safe to click so I can download this book. Are you supposed to just click the “GET” button?
    I never click GET button, don't even know what it does tbh XD Those four buttons are for choosing which IPFS gateway you want to use. By default I use ipfs.io, if ipfs.io is down then I click the Cloudflare one. General rule is that you pick one gateway if it does not work then another one and so on. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

    With any blockchain, including Flow, there will be data that can or should live outside of the blockchain but still be referenced on the blockchain.
