Pursuant to a recent question from Jim Rutt, I thought it might be interesting to see if its possible to layer the atomspace on top of IPFS. Rather than speculate, I thought I'd try to do it. It's here:
https://github.com/linas/atomspace-ipfs So far you can only store the AtomSpace to IPFS; you cannot yet load from IPFS. I've published a demo, which you can find at /ipfs/QmT9tZttJ4gVZQwVFHWTmJYqYGAAiKEcvW9k98T5syYeYU Unfortunately, you need to find a data explorer to view it, and I haven't found any good public websites for this, yet. You'd need the built-in http://localhost:5001/ browser to see it clearly. Issues and challenges: * Supporting Values will be difficult and confusing. I have no good ideas for this yet. * Likewise, I don't yet know how to search the incoming set. * I'm concerned that it's slow. I think we'll be lucky to pump a few hundred atoms/second through it. But I don't really know. * I'm using IPNS for mutability, and IPNS has ... well-known issues. But .. what works does work. So that's encouraging. I invite everyone to work on it. I don't particularly want to be a long-term maintainers on this. -- Linas -- cassette tapes - analog TV - film cameras - you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
