What is futures miner

1.

IPFs is a file transfer protocol similar to http. If IPFs wants to run, it needs many computers (storage devices) in the network as nodes. In a broad sense, all participating computers can be called IPFs mining machines

in order to attract more users to join the IPFs network and contribute to the network, an encryption currency named filecoin is designed, which is distributed to the participants (nodes) as a reward according to the amount of contributed storage space and bandwidth. In a narrow sense, the computer specially designed for the purpose of obtaining the filecoin reward is called IPFs mining machine

because IPFs network needs storage space and network bandwidth, in order to obtain the highest profit ratio, IPFs mining machine usually strengthens the storage space and reces the power consumption of the whole machine. For example, more than 10 high-capacity hard disks are equipped, Gigabit or higher speed network cards are equipped, and ultra-low power architecture processors are used

of course, the mining machine provides storage services, so it can obtain revenue. The size of revenue is related to the configuration of mining machinery and the number of IPFs mining machinery

extended data

the reasons why it is not recommended to invest in IPFs are as follows:

1. IPFs technology is too early to be commercialized

IPFs now takes up a lot of bandwidth. IPNs is very slow at present, which is an obvious technical defect. It will be very difficult to realize dynamic web pages only through IPFs

There is no reasonable economic model, even if the token economy is added, it is difficult to realize the long-term natural ecological value

as a very cumbersome decentralized protocol, it is difficult for users to share files autonomously and spontaneously. In addition, even if users share files into the protocol, the files will be completely open and users cannot delete files effectively, so the security of valid files is threatened

the solution is to introce encryption and blockchain incentive mechanism. At the same time, it solves the security and storage power problems of files. However, as mentioned before, any node with workload proof under blockchain incentive mechanism will face an economic problem of continuous power on state

It is difficult to establish an ecological network with IPFs as the core under the influence of technical problems

The ecological application space of

IPFs is quite limited, and the project interaction speed realized by IPFs protocol is also very slow. Of course, it has a direct relationship with the number of nodes and the distance of calling

2. It's too crooked to use

3. The model proposed by Nakamoto is based on ideal assumptions. Of course, many academic models are like this. When they are tested in reality, they often encounter various practical challenges. I haven't read Nakamoto's paper in detail, but speculation should not be considered.

4.

It is similar to BTC, but the mode is different, except that they are all applied to blockchain technology

total income of miners = block reward + storage income + retrieval income; Block reward (incremental market): miner C will automatically get fil reward for every block packed, releasing more than 410000

&; Storage revenue (stock market): customer a has storage demand and offers x fils, while miner C provides storage resources and obtains x fils; Retrieval revenue (stock market): customer B has the need to retrieve (view) documents, bid y fils, miner C provides retrieval service, and obtains y fils
