What Ya'll think of filecoin? Interesting concept of trying to more efficiently allocate the world's hosting resources?

in technology •  7 years ago 


It discusses using what is a coin based of ipfs? I was wondering last night if one could get into hosting dynamic websites and Merkel trees and some other cool projects.
https://filecoin.io/


One of the headlines on the website asserts:

A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF STORAGE SITS UNUSED IN DATA CENTERS AND HARD DRIVES AROUND THE WORLD.
It then discusses reliable hosting at "hypercompetitive prices." Sounds interesting, I also wonder if data centers excess resources could mine or I guess do file coin to monetize existing resources.


It will be how this project plays out and what competitors there are. IPFS seems very cool with dtube and other stuff.

What projects do you think are cool? Are there alternative similar projects to file coin? Space coin and sia coin seem cool. It will be interesting how open source and projects based on them continue to remake the IT industry as time advances toward infinity.

    I lost track of filecoin sometime but i'm also interested in these kind of projects.
    Similiar ones would be STORJ, MAIDsafe, and probably others following.
