#### Centralized __Online services are all centralized__. Your data always goes through foreign servers and is stored in databases far away from your control.

#### Expensive __Centralization costs a lot__. Servers need to be paid for and engineers need to be hired to handle their load. __That's why most sites have ads__.

#### Fragile When you use a centralized service, you rely on its owners. __What if they go bankrupt or just pull the plug on your data?__

#### Controlled __The owners control the service__. What if you want to go back to an older version of the service? What if you want it to work like it used to, or you want to make it do something new?

#### Distributed __Every user hosts is own data__, but your computer helps your friends and favorite creators (and only them) by seeding their content, sending it to whoever wants to see it. Anyone can also set up a server that helps random users by seeding their data.

#### Efficient There is no heavy __Blockchain__. This service is built to work everywhere from supercomputers to smartphones to embedded devices. __The more users see a page, the faster it travels to others__, making Denial of Service attacks very hard and allowing users to work offline.

#### Free __Free, as in Freedom__. __We can't control anything__, because the users control the content. There is no central database. There are only the users, their computers, and their content. __We can't put ads on this__, because they'd be too easy to block: anyone can create his own App that connects to our service.

#### Open __We're working on this in the open__. We already have a prototype, and all our code is _Free Software_. Got what it takes? [Join development on GitHub](https://github.com/fazo96/ipfs-boards) and help us making this better. __There are a lot of ways you can help__: not only writing code, but also submitting feedback, testing for bugs, and spreading the word.
