RE: AWS is Down - This is Why We Need Decentralised Storage like Storj etc
I had posted on this topic a while back, all my photos in that post were uploaded to IPFS. During this blackout I went back to that post to see if my photos in that post were accessible and they weren't, surprisingly.
I am not sure if IPFS is the solution. In theory its great and Juan Benets video really makes you enthusiastic but its been a while coming and its still not here in a big way. Storj or Maidsafe or Sia may be better solutions.
That is because Steemit isn't directly linking to photos. It copies them and uploads them to AWS instead. That is probably why it stopped working for you. True IPFS integration or Storj integration would get around that.
That is a interesting and is very restrictive especially when you cant edit old posts.
You will be able to edit with the next hard fork.
