IPFS:

It should be noted that the above release while stable, the settings surrounding IPFS are still to be determined for stability. IPFS daemon will be killed off if your VPS is low on memory. You may be able to run on 1 GB VPS, but we would recommend 2 GB for future expansion. The current version will not lower your masternode status into WATCHDOG_EXPIRED if IPFS isn’t running, but future versions will enforce IPFS being running 99% of the time.  

Stayed tuned, and stay true…
