Duplicate of ipfs/community#290.

The best way is to install go-ipfs locally and use your local gateway. However, there's also a list of alternative public gateways here: https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/.

Note: this is not an endorsement of any of these alternative public gateways. I have absolutely no idea if they're trustworthy.

I'm going to close this as it isn't really a bug in go-ipfs. However, I understand our support forum (discuss.ipfs.io) is currently inaccessible in China. If you have any more questions, please ask on https://github.com/ipfs/community/issues for now (unless you can find some way to access discuss.ipfs.io).

Yes, we use https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker to check available gateway.

@Stebalien I think we should improve flow of installing go-ipfs straight from sources by building source distribution package of gx, gx-go and go-ipfs sources bundled and possibly signed so they can be transported by thirdparties with trust. What do you think?

[Stebalien]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Also, publishing an IPNS record for dists.ipfs.io would help (ipfs/ipfs-update#80)

Hello, I just download the ipfs-go src from github. and I want to build the ipfs from the go src, but I found the error:
I can't get anything form the "/ipfs/QmT3CLJKJzWPuN4NAN4LLy69UpKskMF3AuYhXstKdn8V43".
