If you were wondering where IPFS, the Inter Planetary File System, aka global distributed and decentralised database stores its files, read on.

After you run ipfs init you will get a link to a readme file which looks like this:
The question I had was where was this file being served from?
I finally found out that it was in my local drive at $HOME/.ipfs/blocks/R3/CIQBED3K6YA5I3QQWLJOCHWXDRK5EXZQILBCKAPEDUJENZ5B5HJ5R3A.data
To figure this out, all you have to do is run a grep like below:
>> grep -rn "interfacing" *
It seems obvious but as a complete newbie, even the simplest things can throw you off.
