Opera has IPFS. Awesome tech.

I found a way to do free image hosting, though I don't know for how long: IPFS Lite on Android can host a local image, which can then be viewed in Opera, which then seems to reupload this to its own http url and redirect there, which can then be viewed from any http browser.

Filecoin offers crypto incentives for hosting. There are social networks built on IPFS in polkadot and ethereum, also with incentives.

Ultimately it would be nice to see a purely altruistic network, where pinning content is analogous to facebook shares (yet literally be network sharing), and liking it would index it to increase the probability of it being found by adjacent nodes. I'm not happy with the coin solutions, though I do own some eth and dot in case it turns out coins become the only way to manage a social dapp, and I want to be rich. Any investment ideas are welcome. Bitcoin launched when people were pissed about banks. Now people are pissed about big tech. Calling all entrepreneurs.

Opera was quietly bought out by the Chinese. So just make sure you're not using the built-in password manager.

Hopefully Brave rolls IPFS into their mobile browser.
