Hi!

I just got a IPFS node up, I am using digital ocean for a VPS.

I was wondering what should I pin?

Thanks!!!

First things first: initialize your repo with ipfs init --profile=server. This will make IPFS filter out private IP addresses and avoid dialing them (which can trigger portscan warnings).

As for pinning, if you have lots of space you can pin Wikipedia. Hashes here:

github.com

ipfs/distributed-wikipedia-mirror/blob/master/snapshot-hashes.yml

%YAML 1.2
---
# This is a stopgap measure for keeping track of hashes until we set up a better system.

You should probably upgrade to the latest IPFS version (0.4.11) or even the latest RC (0.4.12-rc1). There quite a few fixes in both of these releases that will be very relevant to running IPFS on a server.
