Full Title
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a Global Namespace connecting all computing devices.[1]
Context
- IPFS was first deployed in 2015 and grew by word-of-mouth as a replacement to HTTP for static content.
- It allows users to host content as well as to search for it.
- If users do not wish to host content, they can access IPFS by a public gateway.
Installing
For Windows using chocolatey.
> choco install go-ipfs > ipfs init > ipfs daemon
By default the client looks for a daemon at http://localhost:5001. This can be overridden by either setting the environment variable IpfsHttpUrl or initializing the client with an URL.
// js-ipfs likes this address static readonly IpfsClient ipfs = new IpfsClient("http://127.0.0.1:5002");
Test to see if the daemon is running by typing this in your browser.

Solutions
- the [Sidetree] protocol uses IPFS to insure that Identifiers are unique.
