Content Offloading #2

Open amiller68 opened 2 years ago

amiller68 commented 2 years ago

Estuary pins all content that gets uploaded to it. This is great for now, especially to give users some sort of guarantee of storage and to make deal initiation easy (our proof buddy would just live next to the Estuary IPFS node and be able to serve its duties off of that).

Eventually we will need to need to implement offloading that data when:

  1. Files linger on the network without having a deal attached to them
  2. Files are actively pinned by a provider

Generally we need to settle on our uploading/offloading policy as we get close to launching an MVP

@amiller68 can this be closed?

amiller68 commented 2 years ago

This is still an open/speculative issue.

@laudiacay this is a conversation we should have as soon as Alex is back from vacation
