Images on [IPFS.pics](https://ipfs.pics) don't have to be loaded from their server. You can ask any IPFS node on the network for the image, and it can load it for you from multiple IPFS nodes that have the image via its P2P network. As a demonstration, you can see this image of the IPFS logo via [IPFS.pics](https://ipfs.pics/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3) through the [IPFS gateway servers](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3), or [your local IPFS node](http://localhost:8080/ipfs/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3) if you're running IPFS. Because IPFS uses content addressing instead of location addressing, it doesn't matter what IPFS node has the image. As long as at least one node on the network has the content, you can find it with the hash and quickly download it. |

it would be nice to show the links like:
As a demonstration, you can see this image of the IPFS logo via:
- the ipfs.pics image page: https://ipfs.pics/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3
- the ipfs.pics gateway: https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3
- the ipfs.io global gateway: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3
- and if you have ipfs running locally, your local gateway: https://localhost:8080/ipfs/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3
LGTM otherwise |
This blog post is starting to get 'spider webs', we should publish it soon, or it will be seen weird if we wait too much time. Any blockers? @RichardLitt does it look good for you? |
@diasdavid Excepting Juan's comments, I think it looks good. @kyledrake Do you want to touch it up from his responses? If not, I can do it and PR to this, or just download and make a new PR. |
@RichardLitt Sure, I'll take a look now. |
Thanks! LMK if you want help. |
@RichardLitt Okay if you like it feel free to |
* The ipfs.io global gateway: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3 | ||
* And if you have IPFS running on your local computer and connected to the network, your own IPFS gateway server: http://localhost:8080/ipfs/QmfBXNua29mfQvANvpWgsCRuGQNZ4SD2gPNK13u4VA5cx3 | ||

IPFS uses content addressing instead of location addressing, sp it doesn't matter what IPFS node has the image. As long as at least one node anywhere on the IPFS network has the content, you can find it with the hash and quickly download it. |
