Router would bee the best device for IPFS | 路由器作为IPFS节点设备

Mobile phones are not suitable for use as nodes, the online rate of computers is declining. Only routers can be stable online! My computer only opened few times a week, but the router always on.

Is IPFS support OpenWRT? Or provide an IPFS router device?

The router can add a hard disk and use it directly as a network file system. Based on the interface provided by IPFS, various applications can conveniently manage and share files. (IPFS needs to add a simple and convenient authorization management function to enable various applications to access)

Based on the bandwidth coordination capability of the router, the performance of the P2P can be further improved.


手机是使用量最大的设备,但是因为耗电大和流量费用贵的原因,不适合作为节点设备使用。电脑的使用率不断下降,只有工作时才会使用,我一周也开不了几次。但是路由器7×24小时开着,我家的路由器只要有电就不会关掉。

在中国,每个连接互联网的家庭都至少有一个路由器,是互联网的基本组成部分。新型的路由器几乎都基于OpenWRT,也支持NAS功能,但是没有一个开放和统一的标准。人们需要自己可控的网络存储设备,但是不喜欢使用麻烦的东西。

基于路由器的网络管理,特别是带宽协调能力,势必能将IPFS的优势发挥到最大。没有什么比路由器更适合作为IPFS设备的东西了。非常希望IPFS能够提供对智能路由器设备的支持,或者干脆推出路由器设备。

Maybe in the future, there will be lots of IPFS nodes running in specific machine, just like CDN. But the problem is who pay for it.
CDN is payed by website maintainer.

就像现在的 CDN 一样,将来 IPFS 也可以使用专门的硬件设备作为 IPFS 节点。但问题是 CDN 是网站维护者付费,那 IPFS 节点该由谁付费呢?
