Blockpress died because the site didnt work for half the people trying to use it, myself included; never even got past registering with it. Memo definitely could use a more friendly UX
I'm not a fan of CSW by any means. But I find myself agreeing with him this time. I believe miners should take steps to hiring devs to implement what they want. I'd like to see others follow CoinGeek's steps.
IPFS is better IMO because it makes sure there is no duplication and then it has a HTTP interface.
also, you can can be a webtorrent peer from your browser right away, while ipfs-js is undercooked. I cannot stop thinking about ipfs as overhyped undercooked copycat of bittorent.

what duplication? one hash -> one file anyway. also, ipfs is going to be integrated with filecoin, which I do not think is valuable in case of memo protocol.
I have a solution: users who "like" a media content commit to store it locally and seed while online. The more likes any particular webtorrent post has, the longer it lives.
As users engage more they can commit to not only store the content they like, but that of those whom they follow, and so on, by specifying the social depth (limit is an archival node)
how come the rate of orhapaned no longer seeded torrent files is skyrocketing then?

It's uncensorable because it is stored on the blockchain. If IPFS suffices for storage then why would you need to use the blockchain at all?
Because there isn't ownership in IPFS. The blockchain allows identity ownership. Also, all transactions are viewed the same as long as you pay, so communications (txs) aren't censored
IPFS is cool tech, but I feel less confident it will be here in 10 years than I do about BCH. It's a decent solution for non-text media, though still depends on someone hosting it.
BitTorrent exists for more than a decade, and there is no doubt it will for another. WebTorrent is the next step. Don’t be confused with overhyped IPFS.
