>>1aa797a4 Thanks! So. do I need to stay online after I make a post for people to fetch it, or what? How's that work

>>b82be782 As long as there are other seeders also online, the data should persist even if you go offline. There are at least two "seedboxes" running I believe so many of the boards should be seeded well. It's board specific though, so if you want me to seed a specific board for you I can.

>>60c84874 That's cool. Do seeders fetch every post on the network, or just the posts on the boards they visited? Can folks behind cgnats be "effective" seeders or it's like with torrents, where 2 NAT'ed peers can't communicate? Sorry for questions, it's just so cool.

>>1b86f67f Can other peers see my ip? Are files in storage folder encrypted?

Anonymous3/18/2024, 10:20:44 PM#1932a7ba

>>a5a75dc2 posts and files are not associated with ips and ip information is not stored when anything is uploaded. receiving data from a given peer doesn't necessarily mean that that peer was the one who generated the data; once something has been posted it stays within the swarm and is replicated among peers with no metadata about what IP created it. that being said, much like a torrent, your ip itself is known to the other peers you are connected to. you can use a proxy or vpn to hide this, and i'm also looking into how to get things running through tor, which is definitely possible with libp2p.

>Are files in storage folder encrypted?

files in the storage folder are not encrypted on disk, but when you transmit data between peers, that data is encrypted

nvm, tried to cat some .ldb files in there. Looks like gibberish. Maybe some windows programs can open it, but I'm not gonna bother :D Anyways, time to make a board. Thank you for this project!
