How's the race between IPFS and Dat Protocol these days? I keep waiting for one of them to pull ahead and solidify themselves.
Not that popularity matters exactly, but I used to be super hyped for IPFS but my fervor stalled when it *felt* like the team got super distracted by FileCoin and IPO. Combine that with technical hurdles like the time it takes to spread IPNS updates and i started to pull back.
These days i'm wondering if a less grandiose toolset like Hypercore might solve a lot of similar problems with better usability and short term traction.
Interesting nonetheless.
edit1: Been googling this question to answer it myself, and i now realize Dat _is_ Hypercore .. i think. Ah name churn. Lol.
