Space Daemon
The Space Daemon packages together IPFS, Textile Threads/Buckets
Space Daemon is a wrapper built in Go around awesome IPFS tools so that you can have start coding a decentralized desktop app as fast as possible. It's built on top of Textile Threads and Buckets. Space Daemon requires a few modules to run successfully. If you downloaded the binary, you don't have to worry about this since it will be connecting to our services. It's good to understand what's happening behind the scenes though. All encrypted files are stored in an IPFS node. For convenience, Space Daemon runs an embedded node within the daemon that can be configured as well as the option to specify an external node to connect to. Centralized services that are optional, but offer additional convenience. Used mainly for identity. By using these services, you can allow users to claim usernames, so that Space Daemon can know the public key of a given username and in that way share files via username without having to input public keys directly.
