Thank you so much for the feedback!

1) Yes these are HIGHLY scenario specific, but doing benchmarking and detailing is a great point, and we want to do it. 2) We have lots of thoughts about security - but it's all about just use your existing security profile FOR NOW. E.g. if you want to run data on something in private, and the machine would have access, then you can reuse that. You can also use things like env variable, endpoints, etc to provide credentials. We have LOTS of things planned, but I'd love to hear what you'd like first!

For running on the PUBLIC web, it is not for private workloads right now. You could encrypt everything you'd like, but even then, you'll still possibly run on an untrusted node, so not recommended. Instead, choose a trusted provider (e.g. GCP, AWS, etc) to provide the compute, and provision your nodes, and you're good.

3) We have tons of thoughts there too - basically anywhere you have more than 10 devices with/generating data and 100GB, you're PROBABLY running into a compute over data problem. This is many fold! Security, web serving, financial services, IoT, Edge, Fog, multi-cloud, etc etc. We are in the midst of narrowing down to some brain dead ones and providing scenarios and templates - expect lots of this to land in the next few weeks/months.

If you have some that you'd like us to work on, please let us know!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. You can also find/chat with the whole team in the #bacalhau channel in Slack [1]

I'm David Aronchick - first non-founding PM on Kubernetes, co-founder of Kubeflow [1], and co-founder of the SAME project [2] - and we've spent the past year working on Bacalhau [3], an open source project to bring compute to data.

We've recently opened up a public-hosted cluster (all runnable from colab in our docs [4]) and would love your feedback - you can see our vision at the attached blog post. Thanks!

I think the general thinking is that cost is going to be the determining factor for PV. It it gets to be cheaper than paper, for ex, you could just put it everywhere.

But there are still lots of wins - we’re only in the low 20s for efficiency and mostly catching visible light. There’s also environmental, long life, etc ways to improve as well.

Does this work on a single node only, or does it work across a cluster like Kubernetes?

Unfortunately, I can't comment on the price of the coin - it's determined by the market, and we/the Filecoin community is just focused on delivering useful stuff. If you want market speculation, there's tons of sites out there that will do that for you.

As far as the people actually using it, you can check it out here[1] We have about 18 Exabytes of space on the network, adding nearly 2+ PiB a day of new deals (people storing things). You can see a bunch of the important datasets being added here[2], replicated, universally available and uncensorable. If you see value in that, that's great! If you don't and have more feedback, we're here to help! If you hate us or want another solution, that's cool too!

No :) I’m at Protocol Labs

Yup! Your best bet is to check this out - https://github.com/filecoin-project/ref-fvm. Our documentation is still SUPER raw, it's very early. But there are lots of tests and examples in there.

Can't respond to "word on the street" (i guess my streets have different words?), but I am more than happy to respond to any detailed questions you have! There's also a ton of public research (for example https://twitter.com/MessariCrypto/status/1546894197671821320 - amount stored on Filecoin grew at 128% quarter over quarter).

I'm sorry, but you'll need to explain this a lot more.

I'm happy to answer questions directly, or discuss any sources, but I'm not able to respond to this point by point because this just is not correct. I'm on here all the time if you'd like to talk further, or email me directly - david (dot) aronchick (at) protocol (dot) ai

Interestingly, this is PRECISELY what FVM will help enable.

By using an FVM contract, you can specify exactly what you'd like - how distributed, how automatic the replication, etc etc. This, of course, is a bit manual for now, expect lots more simplicity in the space - or just use https://web3.storage which does this all for you!

Disclosure: I am co-director of Research Development at Protocol Labs.

Your best bet is to browse through here - https://fvm.filecoin.io/ - there are A TON.

Some examples:

* Joining together to share storage of important data (e.g. several foundations together)

* Auto-renewing/auto-replication of storage (e.g. if a storage provider fails to respond after a certain period of time, content could be automatically replicated to a new provider)

* Automated caching & distribution - a single piece of content uploaded could be automatically replicated to other providers around the world

* Sophisticated storage auctions - let's say you're a storage provider and realize that someone has removed a large chunk of data, thereby freeing up a ton of space. A contract could automatically lower the price for storing on your disks so you're back running at full capacity more quickly.

* Futures contracts - let's say you have a lot of data you know you're going to need for a long time into the future (e.g. 10GB of log data generated every day). You may want more stability in pricing, so you "buy" all the storage now, and are not subject to volatility.

Etc, etc. But the best use cases are the ones we haven't even thought up yet!

This is broadly correct! It's remarkably cheap. As other commenters have noted, you'll want to handle reproduction/etc, which is a bit more work, but still many orders of magnitude cheaper than anything else out there.

HOWEVER, most folks don't want to do this - we recommend solutions like https://web3.storage (which gives you 1 TB with three replicas for free forever), and https://estuary.tech.

One of the things we're well aware of is the huge opportunity/need for better gateways. What you're seeing is actually the gateway failing (not IPFS) so _technically_ ipfs is doing fine. NOT THAT THAT MATTERS IF YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO LOAD A WEB PAGE - WE KNOW! WE PROMISE! :)

Lots of folks are working on retrievability even as we speak (https://retrieval.market/). Stay tuned!

BTW, if you ever want your content directly, you can go here - https://ipfs.io/ipfs/<CID>. Brave also offers IPFS native integration not via gateways. Again, we are well aware this isn't enough! Coming soon...

Is there an option for IPFS instead of B2?

Do they grow up with managed machines?

I have no idea what everyone’s problem is with this:

- Active Directory/Group Policy/Managed Devices have hundreds of thousands of ways to lock machines down based on the IT staff’s needs (eg disabling USB ports, disabling devtools, etc)

- You will not be affected by this in ANY way if you don’t have a managed machine

- The feature is already there, just broken

If you’re mad about this, get mad at your IT staff?

This is among the most naive, namedropping, rude post I’ve seen in this site, and I’ve been here a long time.

Step out from behind your sock-puppet if you’re going to make attacks like this.

I have no idea who you are but i guarantee he knows more about web protocols, standards and tooling than you. He’s been doing this for 20 years and enormous amounts of the web are better because of his completely free tool.

You have no idea who this person is and yet you decide to make aspersions about his skill set and background? Sounds cool.

He invented Fiddler checks notes one of the most widely used web debugging tools in the world.

Please define “woman”.

This is not sarcasm. What you’ve generally been taught about the binariness of these terms is an oversimplification to say the least, and wrong. Read Galileo’s Middle Finger as an excellent primer.

Both the letter of the law and the spirit seem to point to just using the regulation around finished furniture as a way to limit over harvesting. Why do you see it differently?

Such as?

Hi all! We’re really excited to reach 1.0 - we'd love to hear from you on ways we can make distributed computing even easier and more powerful. Please let us know!

Good point! That makes this even worse for US representation

> The “ish” does a lot of work there.

In what way? The US is proveably 51.3% Democrat, 46.5% Republican. I was reducing significant digits because I don’t know the specific split for people who didn’t vote.

> If it doesn't, it would be one of the few media sources that didn't. Why wouldn't it?

Not sure your source on this one. Even Fox is only 53% Republicans, and MSNBC is only 62% Democratic (https://pos.org/whos-watching-a-look-at-the-demographics-of-...). This blows them away.

Trump was president because of 107k votes in three states.

The US is proveably 50/50-ish

Unless Facebook has a strongly biased audience, it seems likely that their algorithms should represent the population.

68% pro Trump does not.

I am in awe at people who say “market forces should rule everything “ and then in the same breath say “government has a responsibility to enforce that a private organization must allow everyone to use their platform in an arbitrary way”.

No one was arrested. No one was silenced. Project Veritas could send an email out with the information to all their subscribers completely legally (assuming they weren’t breaking federal law by doxxing people).

If I was mod of a knitting forum and had a public policy of never allowing people to talk about Tom Brady, and someone did so, I could ban the person. That’s not censorship, that’s me kicking someone out of my (and only my) community. They can still talk all they want.
