dat

Should be able to use dat to add datasets to ipfs soon. See http://kevinchai.net/datasets for ideas.

mafintosh: you just need to wrap ipfs in a blob store interface, https://github.com/maxogden/abstract-blob-store and you'll be able to use ipfs inside dat for file data
davidar: ah, so not quite there yet?
davidar: in terms of working out-of-the-box
mafintosh: no but as soon as there are good js bindings for ipfs that'll probably happen pretty fast
which they are already working on

@mafintosh

• there have been good bindings for IPFS in js for months now: https://github.com/ipfs/node-ipfs-api
• there is the beginning of an ipfs-blob-store here: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-blob-store not yet finished.

TODOs:

• finish https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-blob-store
• try plugging it into dat, and see how it goes

@mafintosh i am interested in replicating dats in IPFS. can you point me to a way to stream out and in the entire dat dags? (pref in json)
