<cipres> i'm trying to convert a CIDv1 (taken from ipfs add --raw-leaves output) to CIDv0 with a python script using py-cid
A124 has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<cipres> the cidv0 hash i get is unusable
<cipres> is there some script out there that does that ?
user_51 has joined #ipfs
<whyrusleeping> cipres: you can't convert a cidv1 to a cidv0
<cipres> "You can only convert a CIDv1 object to CIDv0 object if its codec is dag-pb, otherwise conversion is not possible"
<whyrusleeping> and if youre using --raw-leaves, you won't get a cid with a codec of dag-pb
<cipres> so, although you pass --raw-leaves and it's using cidv1, the hashes outputed by ipfs add are cidv0 ?
<cipres> i see
<cipres> so what kind of cid is it in this case ?
user51 has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<whyrusleeping> the leaves will be of type 'raw'
<cipres> ok

<nickareed> what does js-ipfs connect to? I dont seem to understand what it is capable of in the browser... I have a hash pinned on a remote server running the go-ipfs daemon, but in the browser cat'ing never finds the hash?
<nickareed> am i missing some manual setup required for js-ipfs in the browser to work correctly? I'm not passing anything to the IPFS() setup
<deltab> they're currently not able to talk to each other, except for the gateway nodes which are able to talk to both
<deltab> (as I understand it)
MrSparkle has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<nickareed> is there supposed to be a way to link them, or set up my own gateway node, or in some way get js-ipfs to work in the browser?
<deltab> eventually yes
pcardune has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<deltab> relay will allow nodes to pass data between nodes that can't connect to each other directly
<deltab> I'm trying to find more details
<nickareed> so instead of using js-ipfs in the browser, I should be proxying to my go-ipfs server I suppose? thought I had this working, and then when deploying it all went to pieces :)
<nickareed> thanks for clarifying some stuff!
<deltab> eh, probably outdated misheard rumour :-)

<at_> Hi guys is there a pure python implementation of ipfs? I came across this but it doesn't look like there has been much action recently - https://github.com/ipfs/py-ipfs
dimitarvp has joined #ipfs
<Kubuxu> at_: no, there isn't full python implementation of ipfs. You might want to use API bindings.
<at_> thanks @Kubuxu, I have just looked at the python module ipfsapi - it seems it needs an ipfs daemon running. I was hoping to use ipfs in a portable python app I am working on
<Kubuxu> I see. Unfortunately, ipfs is quite complex, JS impl was started 2.5 years ago and it still doesn't have full parity with Go. I think you see why we didn't make Python version yet.

briandilley has joined #ipfs
<briandilley> hello fellow humans
<briandilley> I've got some questions about IPFS and persistence
<cipres> shoot
<briandilley> How can IPFS truly be a decentralized storage system if it requires files to be pinned to (presumably my, or my company's) nodes to ensure that they don't get garbage collected? There are a lot of use cases for putting a document on IPFS that you wont be accessing frequently that only work if you run your own IPFS nodes and pin the files - at which point, why use IPFS? Genuine curiosity here btw, not trolling. Am i missing somethi
Steverman has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<briandilley> :D
<cipres> briandilley: it's not that it *requires* content to be pinned to various nodes, it's just that it provides a mechanism to do so (pinning) very easily and thus facilitates and consolidates sharing of content
<briandilley> But if i put a doc on IPFS and i don't pin it to a node, it'll be garbage collected and retrievable at some point right?
<briandilley> But if i put a doc on IPFS and i don't pin it to a node, it'll be garbage collected and not-retrievable at some point right?
<cipres> it'll always be there
<cipres> you just need to have the hash
<briandilley> uh... that's not what the docs say.
<cipres> when you add content on your node it's pinned
<briandilley> and if my node goes down or i lose it... is my content still stored somewhere else?
<cipres> if no one else pinned your content, of course not
<cipres> ipfs doesn't automatically shares your content with other nodes
<cipres> which i think is a good approach but that's my opinion
<cipres> if another node pins your stuff and your node goes down
<cipres> then your content will be served by the nodes who pinned it
<briandilley> So if wanted to build an app to store a single photo for someone or something like that... i'd have to run my own node and pin the files on that node to be sure that those files remain available via IPFS. But at that point, why don't I just use my own file server or s3 or something? IPFS doesn't seem to provide a benefit for infrequently accessed files.
reit has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<cipres> as i said earlier
<briandilley> I'm not hear to start trouble - just trying to understand what the use case for IPFS is.
<cipres> no worries ;)
<cipres> adding content to your node will pin it automatically, try it
<cipres> do "ipfs add myfile" and look at the hash
<cipres> then do "ipfs pin ls"
<cipres> the hash will be there which means it's been pinned when adding the file
<cipres> then you said "IPFS doesn't seem to provide a benefit for infrequently accessed files."
<cipres> i suppose it's a very valid comment
shizy has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<cipres> i'll let the rest of the chan comment on that if they want
<ion> The protocol used and your server/S3 are orthogonal things, IPFS should be compared to other protocols rather than hosting locations.
<briandilley> Yeah, i think that's the key - but then that makes it's entire usecase very shakey really... because you never know when you're file is going to get GCd from all of the nodes on the network. You've still got to store your (centralized) version of the file.
<cipres> i just wanted to correct you on the pinning thing
<rargulati[m]> If I'd like to update a dependency in go-datastore to a) fix a bug b) help fix a dependency issue I'm having in code - how can I get a new hash for the depency with gx?
