Having enough knowledge on how to implement that kind of output in programming is really necessary. Thus, it’s a good thing that there are a lot of blogs like this one who shares information and techniques that a person is needed to have in order for them to also do the same output that they have done.

Great!

This article was really helpful, thanks! I’m trying to understand the significance of DAGs when it comes to networked storage such as IPFS. I was a bit surprised that git doesn’t store files in blocks to reduce duplication but I suppose it was originally meant for source code rather than binary data.

Cheers, Durand

heh, yeah, OpenIDs are, unfortunately, not super easy to come by anymore.

There is also an email-based login system available for ikiwiki that I should look into setting up. I wonder if I can use an external SMTP provider? I really don’t want to maintain an email server

hrm…I’ll look into this.

DONE!

This should be done now! I’ve enabled email login for comments as well.

I arrived at your blog post from the need to piece together the knowledge required to work with IPFS and MultiChain. A good look into the complexities of Git. Thank you!
