I run https://www.eternum.io/ (an IPFS pinning service) and created Hearth (https://hearth.eternum.io/, a Dropbox-like way to publish files on IPFS), and this is a very welcome release.

IPFS has been a real pain to work with in the past (the node would just consume all RAM and CPU and had to be restarted a lot), but it's been getting better, which is great to see.

I really hope it gets good enough to run on everyone's desktop machine, since that's the way IPFS is meant to be deployed (rather than just on gateways). It seems that it doesn't take up too much RAM or CPU now, but it looks like it might be a problem bandwidth-wise, if you host some popular content.

Still, great news overall.
