+# IPFS Research Constellation
+
+ipfs suggests many research routes:
+
+## IPFS - Towards The Permanent Web
+
+Paper with:
+- design + discussion
+- measurements in production
+
+## IPNS - Decentralized Mutable Names for IPFS
+
+- SFS inspired decentralized name service
+
+## BitSwap: block exchange protocol
+
+Lots of experimentation can be done with BitSwap:
+- find (near) optimal swap strategies
+- security
+- efficiency
+- robustness
+- game theory (like propshare paper)
+- other strategies/clients
+- BitSwap with bittorrent?
+
+## SERFS or MetaFS
+
+a meta filesystem. One global filesystem. Allows mounting of other filesystems seamlessly. Users download FS code on demand. E.g.
+
+		/serfs/s3.amazon.com/<bucket>/
+		/serfs/bittorrent/<torrent hash>/<filename>
+		/serfs/http/<domain>/<path>
+		/serfs/memcached/<host>/<key>
+		/serfs/redis/<host>/<key>
+		/serfs/afs/<path>/
+		/serfs/facebook/<userid>
+		/serfs/gfs/<path>
+		/serfs/spotify/<track hash>
+
+## DataGen: compression through functions
+
+Blocks can include pure functions which generate the block's data.
+Creates an incentive to design better compression functions.
+
+## IPFS Incentive: FileCoin: proof-of-retrievability
+
+Blockchain currency with proof-of-retrievability.
+Incentivizes IPFS storage.
+
+## IPFS App: Web gateway
+
+## IPFS App: movie viewer, music player
+
+Spotify: modified client to just send all blocks asap, if user is allowed to.
+
+## IPFS App: New Web (only gfs)
+
+## IPFS App: Version Control (git)
+
+## IPFS App: Dat + Datadex
+
+## IPFS App: Global Directory
+
+## IPFS App: git-like shared docs
+
+## IPFS App: distributed dropbox replacement
+
+## IPFS App: code hosting (source + bins)
+
+## IPFS App: Package Managers (apt, npm, etc)
+
+## IPFS App: CDN
+
+## IPFS App: Publications
+
+## IPFS App: Arxiv clone
+
+## IPFS Incentives: Distributed S3
