NOTE: If you're looking for the video, itself you can find working mirrors here.

I want to help keep the video available for others, and am willing to install software to make that happen

In that case, you can serve up your own copy by running IPFS Desktop, and pinning the file.

What is IPFS?

IPFS is a distributed peer-to-peer file system with many public http gateways to directly download files by content not by name (so that you can be assured the content has not been modified and you know exactly what you're getting). It allows multiple users to host files across the planet, so that it becomes resilient to censorship, and highly available for other users that want quick access to the file.

The content identifier (CID) (or hash) of this specific video is:

  • bafybeid46i2532wlexouiydyl2ej4q5albsh7qtscwlltnno557b6dzpza (in base32 -- older IPFS hash format)
  • QmWkPUa8KrZEPzbc9qPfMJC6r9H4uYdMvUUNkq3w8RVC7Z (in base58 -- newer IPFS hash format)

To host your own copy and help keep the file more available:

  1. Download the .mp4 file from the official link. If that doesn't work, check the next section of this post.
  2. Install IPFS Desktop
  3. Launch IPFS Desktop
  4. On the Files tab, select Import > From File
  5. In the Open dialog, navigate to and then select the file you downloaded: USCYBERATTACKFRAUD.mp4
  6. Select Import
  7. Now, in the list of files that you've imported, select the ... button next to USCYBERATTACKFRAUD.mp4, and then select Pin to ensure it remains on your system and serving to other clients At this point your computer will become part of the set of machines across the internet making those links available for the rest of us.

What if those steps didn't work because I couldn't get the file on the first step?

  1. Install IPFS Desktop
  2. Launch IPFS Desktop
  3. On the Files tab, select Import > From IPFS
  4. In the Path to Import box, type bafybeid46i2532wlexouiydyl2ej4q5albsh7qtscwlltnno557b6dzpza
  5. Select Import
  6. Now, in the list of files that you've imported, select the ... button next to bafybeid46i2532wlexouiydyl2ej4q5albsh7qtscwlltnno557b6dzpza, and then select Pin to ensure it remains on your system and available to the masses.

I don't know what that means, where can I get this video if it has been removed from everywhere else?

From one of the mirrors on this list.

Came here to make a post about IPFS and getting around the censors but checked first to see if one already existed and found this.

I downloaded the original 720p and 360p sources and have different CIDs than those listed here.

Are these backups from youtube or another source? I'm happy to add them to my nodes and share either way, just curious about the difference.

I used this one as the original source: https://intel.securecomm.network/USCYBERATTACKFRAUD.mp4

I also clarified hosting process in a way that doesn't take a dependency on IPFS to allow all upload activity of nodes to be dedicated to delivering the file to normies: https://patriots.win/p/12hR7Vf1D4/spread-the-word-mirrors-for-mike/c/
