Greetings everyone. In this tutorial I will be going over the steps involved in setting up a SPK CDN node.Step 1Choosing your hosting providerYou'll need to pick out a good server hosting provider for your node. A couple of factors to keep in mind: cost, popularity/how much traffic you are expecting, and how performant you want it to be. I will be using Kimsufi as an example here. I've used it many times before and for the price/performance they offer they are almost unbeatable.

Watch on 3SpeakNote: I did have a few dependancies already installed, but it should be a short installation time. The entire process is automated from start to finish once you've executed the installation script.More info at

PretextCurrently IPFS object are static, immutable and unchangeable without changing the CID (content identifier). CID otherwise known as a multihash is a unique content identifier to a particular set of data. Typically most IPFS file hashes start with Qm. This static identifier is very useful for preserving a particular record, such as a transaction ID, a JavaScript library, images (I generally assume they won't change any time soon). It being static makes it also secure when being used to prove the validity of the data itself. However, this presents an issue when file mutability is necessary for an application, for example: collaborative text editing, editable notes, collaborative development (git/GitHub), an updatable Dropbox etc.

Decided to post something now that steepshot seems to be working. Hopefully I will get around to writting another blog post on dtube. There is a lot going on with dtube right now! Steepshot IPFSAndroid
