Do any of my followers actually know how IPFS and IPNS work and be willing to answer questions in slow time? I promise I won't hassle you, it's just that I'm finding some of the documentation ... (significant pause) ... unhelpful.
Whatever I discover I'll feed back for others who are "like me" to learn from.
Slow time, over the course of days, perhaps a week or more.
Thanks.
@ColinTheMathmo Tagging #IPFS and #ipns might help ;-)

@dredmorbius Putting those tags on this clarification:
I don't want to now the deep ins and outs, I want a conceptual understanding of a few things to see if I can use it for a specific purpose.
The problem is that all explanations either wave their hands and talk about saving files "out there", or leap into details of hashes and content addressable stuff. There's nothing in the middle. Or at least, if there is, I haven't found it.
If your familiar with #BitTorrent, then #IPFS shares most of the same strengths and weaknesses, but the way it works is different enough that IPFS is far more flexible.
I'm not familiar with much of the "under the hood" stuff, but I have a rough idea of how it works. Was there something specific you were curious about?
