On: Many packages suddenly disappeared

Your idea is awful, but you really shouldn't be downvoted.

It is better to use content hashes and a system that distributes and enforces these, like IPFS.

Someone could just create some hooks for https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx and we would have it done.

Already done https://github.com/diasdavid/npm-on-ipfs tough it doesn't seem to be mantained anymore.

No. That's not what I'm talking about. That's just a way to host your own snapshot of the entire npm registry. Not a good way to introduce the decentralization feature of IPFS.
