HOW HAVE YOU ONLY GOT 17k SUBS, your content is so much better than 95% of all youtubers.

[@LearnCardano]

I don't work the algorithm enough. I really need more O face thumbnails.

[@eROCKaustin]

​@@LearnCardano Please no 😂😂

[@Her_essentials]

I 100% agree with you !! Everyone else making videos are promoting coin & not actually teaching us their use & value

[@FesteringRatSub]

@@LearnCardano please don't.

[@BrianFedirko]

Iagon was what I first tested and invested in cardano other than just swapping tokens. Minswap was where I put those tokens, and to date it's gone up about 4x in just over some months. I had forgot what the token was even about, and so this is super exciting. This is an actual real world application and use of a digital money. Congrats to the team, and the entire Cardano eco system as well. More real world will come to fruition in 2024, and will probably be utilizing this system as well. Gr8! Peace ☮💜

Iagon putting a big tick in the "using Cardano" box...

[@LearnCardano]

Yes it certainly has a large tick

[@baskb]

You are one of the best Cardano KZbinrs. Listen to most of your video's in the car. Very informative and easy to listen to without watching.

[@LearnCardano]

Glad you like them!

[@Her_essentials]

Fantastic information, please keep up to date with videos because I’ll be watching every single one !!

[@LearnCardano]

I've got a big one about the Minswap token burning coming up. Big if it gets passed.

[@rahulsham4014]

This is one of the videos I have saved, RE our last conversation about ecommerce business.

[@LearnCardano]

Yep. I got ya

[@Blockchain778]

Hey man great video, can you make a video providing storage to show how much you are making?

[@Blockchain778]

I want to know how profitable it is *

[@LearnCardano]

Yes I can

[@Blockchain778]

@@LearnCardano thank you

[@Decorstar_AU]

Is there any DEX within Cardano ecosystem allows me to swap multiple tokens in single tx? (Eg: I want to swap COPI, HOSKY, WMT to ADA all at once)

[@LearnCardano]

Not yet, not multiple to ADA, only ADA to multiple tokens.

[@kwikbit]

Iagon putting a big tick in the "using Cardano" box ... (also maybe (after your last video) you should have clicked on "details" when confirming the txn )..... good information though !

[@LearnCardano]

I did, but I cut it out of the video

[@greece_crypto]

but where is a clear toutorial video for storage provider step by step ? we can find one ?

[@lyradorian]

How does it fare with backend stuff? Are you able to to store/write/edit files dynamically or host a server/database?

[@purushothamtr3796]

Yes you can

[@lyradorian]

@@purushothamtr3796 OOoooh. Yeah I'm sold. Gonna migrate my stuff over :D

[@LearnCardano]

It doesn't do compute yet, so you won't be able to do the database server side of things but with our CardanoPress plugin, at least you will be able to offload assets and use Iagon as a decentralised CDN. That will help with the server costs. When they release the compute side, then you will be able to do the other side of things for DB and server side execution. It's something I'm looking forward to.

[@robbie4787]

Hey, great coverage of the iagon storage network and you answered most of the questions i had. But one question i still have is around data loss? How do they protect against it? And also if someone is hosting sharded data on their hard drive and they go offline for some reason, is the whole data now corrupted and inaccessable? Very curious to know what happens in this case

[@LearnCardano]

The shards are shared across multiple storage spaces. I recall it was three. So if users have signed up for 10TB of storage. They will need to provide 30TB of storage for redundancy and decentralisation of that data. I’ll have to check that for you but I’m pretty sure that’s it. They have a compression mechanism that reduces the space required.

[@robbie4787]

@@LearnCardano wow if thats the case i think this is going to be game changer in the cloud storage space

[@RappelKarton]

really enjoying your content

[@LearnCardano]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@oncii]

Very impressive development from Iagon building for roughly 6 years and launching their mainnet on Cardano!

[@LearnCardano]

It did take a long time but they’re here now

[@ahowl7mx]

Can I run a node with a raspberry pi if I had 2gb external drive? Would need a linux driver.

[@LearnCardano]

I think you could actually

[@ahowl7mx]

@LearnCardano Would love to try it, maybe get a ssd drive attached. Anhonw have a link to hardware specs? Raspberry 5 I assume or is it not enough oomph?

[@richardfromage]

Question. Say Iagon moves like Filecoin did in the past what’s the quickest and most financially efficient way to get our money out?

[@LearnCardano]

IAG to fiat via ADA. IAG->ADA send to exchange and exit to fiat.

[@richardfromage]

Minswap? That’s where I swapped ADA to IAG. Thank you for the response!

[@jaiyeolademilade5002]

What's the major difference between iagon and IPFS? Also doesn't the these service tend to centralise the storage infrastructure to favour those who are capable of providing an enormous amount of storage space.

[@LearnCardano]

It would lean towards those that can provide high quality service. Fast internet speed, fast read and write of the disk, over 90% up time and a lot of IAG staked by the provider. If you have money and knowledge you will be a good provider. I tried providing storage from home. My internet does meet the requirements. So it excludes me and many others like me but I wouldn’t want to use a service for data storage provided by me. It would be shit.

[@jaiyeolademilade5002]

@@LearnCardano Great but that seems to be an extensive amount of requirements a hand-full of people would be able to afford, what is stoping this people from combining their stake and resources to form a single large cooperation over time?

[@FesteringRatSub]

So what part of this is on the block chain?

[@LearnCardano]

Token rewards, payment, staking to be able to run decentralised storage nodes. Almost all of it.

[@NicoMahlerCG]

i need iag to pump a bit more so i can host a 2 tb node :( i dont know if 1tb is worth it

[@LearnCardano]

DCA is a good way of accumulating more assets

[@chiforce]

This is great. I will be looking into using there service.

[@LearnCardano]

Yep I've started using it

[@quattrocity9620]

I think for future-proofing this could be an issue with storing things like inappropriate media. Sharding the data means things can be stored with no accountability. Besides the ethical concerns, I'm not sure regulators are going to be thrilled about this...

[@LearnCardano]

How are other storage platforms dealing with illegal data?

[@quattrocity9620]

@LearnCardano well I'm currently setting up on Arweave. They have essentially said that since nobody is required to store any parts of the blockweave they don't want to, that it's up to the miners to police what they store. This would include data protection in the locale they operate from.

[@wapitgood]

This is pretty cool, think I can collaborate on this project.

[@dadlord689]

I would hope to see a new compression mechanisms so that data stop getting gigantic. But for now it's ok.

[@LearnCardano]

That would be great. Better for upload and downloads too

Compare current market cap to filcoin or render though

[@richardfromage]

I YOLO’d in to IAG. I think I’ll swap and buy some more along with more ADA.

[@LearnCardano]

lol. Let’s hope it’s a good move.

[@richardfromage]

I don’t think it was a terrible move, I believe we will all make money. I am trying to come up with an exit strategy. Where would be the best place to offload it if for instance it takes off?

Who cares buy internet computer protocol its tbe best coin in crypto

I think the protocol is brilliant. Not much in 2023 in terms of developments. Token might have reached its ATH at its launch.
