IPFS is the protocol and not the coin that some white investors say they can mine.

If, someone tells you that his miner can mine IPFS coins, or his IPFS miner mines the most coins in a day, then, I am sorry to tell you that you may have met a scammer.

IPFS can't be mined. IPFS, also known as the Interstellar File System, is a peer-to-peer distributed file system, not a project name, not a token name. What people often refer to as IPFS mining is actually its incentive layer, Filecoin, which runs on the IPFS network and incentivizes users to contribute bandwidth and hard drives, and rewards contributors with FIL tokens.

IPFS, also known as the "Interstellar File System", is a point-to-point distributed file system, through the underlying protocols, you can make the files stored on the IPFS system, anywhere in the world to quickly access, and is not subject to the influence of the firewall, which allows us to access the data faster, safer, and more free. and more freely.

It was designed to complement or even replace the HTTP transfer protocol that has been used for the past 30 years, and to fundamentally address several issues of concern to the public: data security, data authentication, and data speed.

IPFS was launched back in 2014, and as an emerging network technology, it has been studied by a wide range of enthusiasts and attempted to be utilized in life scenarios. As of 2019, there are more than a million IPFS nodes worldwide. This figure may look very large on its own, but it is small for the total global population.
