IPFS

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files.

In some ways, IPFS is similar to the World Wide Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle directed acyclic graph (DAG).

IPFS combines a distributed hash table, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other, except for every node they are connected to. Distributed Content Delivery saves bandwidth and prevents distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a problem common with HTTP.

We are shown how to create a database, however, we don't have any list of the types of databases we can create (the example shows: 'eventlog') however it's unclear if KeyValue store should be 'kvstore' or 'keyValue', etc...

We should list the various types and the st

The UI should have a very quick way to send feedback to the developers.

Ideally there's a button always visible in the UI which by clicking opens a form to enter feedback. This should be completely anonymous (but can leave a name if wanted).

How exactly to do this is TBD.

Support for /p2p in multiaddr has existed since December 17 of last year. It's time to migrate switch to using it by default. Currently we use /ipfs to indicate peer id's in a multiaddr and it is the default, but /p2p is preferred. In the greater effort to migrate completely away from /ipfs, this task is here to track the roll out of only switching the default.

DTube Avalon uses leaders which are the equivalent to Steem witnesses. They are listed on their own section. Those leaders should add their own IP -or hostname- so other nodes are able to connect to them. When hover the mouse over a leader which has provided an URL, the UI shows it as a tooltip.

It is currently not checking for the IP address to be a valid one. Web page will show that leader as
