Ask HN: Is anyone using IPFS for a production level product?

> It seemed like it solved a number of problems of the current web architecture and opened new frontiers of what could be done.

What problems have they solved in your opinion?

Decentralization and content-based addressing, mainly.

Those weren't problems that needed solving. They are just the features that the software implements.

What I mean is that if it did solve a problem, it'd be used more widely. It offers some features that aren't really all that useful to the majority of people. So it's solving a problem most people simply don't have.

We already had those.

The only one I know of if Library Genesis

Previously, my product was going to use ipfs for a purpose similar to cdn. But its use threshold is high, and users must install a client or browser plug-in to use it.
