Decentralized mechanism for proof of existence of documents via the blockchain
Assume the blockchain data is stored at: ~/eth/rinkeby
Then run the node as: geth --datadir ~/eth/rinkeby --rinkeby --fast --rpc --rpcaddr "0.0.0.0" --rpcapi="db,eth,net,web3,shh,personal" --shh --ws --wsorigins="*"
ipfs now starts automatically
Assume the ipfs path is at: ~/eth/ipfs
Then run the ipfs initializer as: IPFS_PATH=~/eth/ipfs ipfs init
Then run the ipfs daemon as: IPFS_PATH=~/eth/ipfs ipfs daemon
