B
A
Hail
so
there's
a
there's,
a
good
turnout.
Already
it's
a
couple
minutes
past
the
hour.
So
let's
get
started.
Welcome
to
the
second
monthly
falcon
green
meetup.
I
I
sure
hope
this
is
the
day.
I'm
like
90
sure
that
today
is
march
1st,
I'm
alan
I'm.
The
team
lead
for
falcoin
green
at
protocol
labs,
and
you
know
here's
here's
a
few
different
ways
you
can
get
in
touch.
A
We
are
you
know,
really
happy
to
to
build
this
community
and
welcome
more
people
into
it
to
both
examine
the
environmental
impacts
of
the
falcon
network
itself,
work
on
ways
to
reduce
and
mitigate
those
impacts,
working
towards
the
goal
of
an
environmentally
positive
network
and
to
build
those
tools
in
a
way
that
they're
applicable
beyond
filecoin
itself,
and
so
here's
what
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
today.
First,
I'm
gonna
give
a
quick
update
on
falcon
green
talk,
a
little
just
sort
of
review.
A
What
filecoin
green
is
and
what
we're
doing
here
and
and
give
a
couple
updates
on
things
that
have
happened
recently.
Then
we're
going
to
hear
from
alex
who's
who's,
that
seal
storage
technologies,
which
is
a
filecoin
storage
provider.
That's
been
really
forward
thinking
in
how
they
conceive
of
their
environmental
impact
and
make
esg
representations.
A
Then
we're
going
to
hear
about
synthetic
locations
of
story
fighters.
Some
really
neat
work
that
jim
pick
is
doing.
That
is,
is
sort
of
at
the
at
the
core
of
how
you
take
a
distributed
network
that
is
permissionless
right,
so
people
don't
have
to
say
where
they
are
in
order
to
enter
to
join
the
network
and
connect
that
network
to
renewable
energy.
So,
let's
get
into
it.
A
So
you
know
I
like
to
start
this
this.
You
know
type
of
work
by
thinking
about
why
we're
here
right,
and
so
this
is
called
a
keeling
curve.
This
is
a
graph
of
a
global
mean
average
temperature
global
mean
temperature
as
a
function
of
a
year
right
going
back
a
couple
hundred
years,
and
you
know,
as
you
can
see
right,
it
is.
Temperature
is
increasing,
it's
not
so
great,
and
it
is
it's.
You
know
it's
caused
by
people
right.
A
So
these
these
models
show
what
the
temperature
would
have
been
without
people
right,
natural
drivers
only
and
then
they
show
what
the
temperature,
the
models
you
know
expect.
We
would
have
when
you
account
for
the
fact
that
people
are
releasing
all
this
carbon
into
the
atmosphere
and
that
lines
up
pretty
well
with
the
temperature
that
we
actually
observe.
A
I
think
I
showed
this
a
month
ago-
and
I
mentioned
right-
that
you
can
take
these
temperatures
and
you
can
extend
them
back,
not
just
you
know,
200
years,
but
but
way
farther
right
and
they
they
show
this
same
the
same
trend
right.
So
this
is
what
it
looks
like
when
you
do
that
right.
So
going
back
to
your
1
000
as
best
we
can
tell
the
the
you
know:
global
average
temperatures
we're
in
this
relatively
narrow
corridor
right,
and
it's
only
been
in
the
past.
A
You
know,
100
years
or
so
that
temperatures
have
really
gone
out
of
the
regime
in
which
our
civilization,
you
know
adapted
to
exist
within.
So
that's
a
spectacularly
dangerous
thing
right
and
we
need
to
act
really
quickly
to
reduce
emissions
globally
to
below
zero
right.
So
we
need
to
to
move
toward
having
a
negative
emission
society
in
order
to
counter
this.
A
So
so
you
know:
what's
the
role
of
of
follcoin
and
falcon
green
in
doing
this?
Well,
crypto
is
moving
really
quickly.
It's
it's!
You
know
one
of
the
few
industries.
That's
moving
at
the
time
scale
evolving
at
the
time
scale
that
carbon
carbon
reduction
and
carbon
removal
needs
to
evolve
at,
and
we
believe
that
foulcoin
has
a
huge
role
to
play
in
this,
because
when
people
are
making
sustainability
claims
right,
so
they
are
claiming
that
their
company
or
their
group
meets
some
sustainability
threshold.
A
We
really
think
that
those
claims
should
be
backed
up
by
unambiguous,
publicly
verifiable
data
right
crypto
is
all
about
public
verifiability,
and
we
think
that
filecoin
is
the
best
place
to
store
public
data
underlying
environmental
claims,
and
so
falcon
green
exists.
To
do
two
things
right.
Follow
coin
green
exists
to
both
apply
this
sort
of
thinking
to
the
falcon
network
itself
and
build
tools
such
that
people
can
use
filecoin
in
order
to
back
up
these
sorts
of
sustainability
claims,
and
so
what?
What
specifically?
Are
we
working
on?
A
Well
we're
building
tools
and
we're
building
processes
to
reduce
the
environmental
impact
of
the
falcon
green
network?
We're
trying
to
help
storage
providers
use
renewable
energy
via
several
different
routes.
We're
trying
to
you
know,
put
environmental
data,
store
environmental
data
on
filecoin
and
allow
developers
to
use
that
data
in
their
projects
right
because
crypto
is
so
transparent.
A
So
you
know
what
does
this
actually
mean
when,
when
we
talk
about
making
falcoin
verifiably
sustainable?
What
does
that
mean?
Well
sort
of
here's?
My
my
conception
of
that
is
this.
Is
the
falcoin
supply
chain
right,
so
you
have
all
these
inputs.
You
have
electricity,
that's
the
majority
of
the
missions
of
the
fog
network.
You
have
hardware,
storage
providers
buy
all
that
stuff
and
they
use
that
to
store
data
for
clients
right.
So
you
go
to
storage
providers.
That's
the
the
filecoin
logo.
A
Here
they
provide
storage,
there's
a
screenshot
of
phil
rep,
which
is
one
of
the
places
that
you
can
go
to
see.
Who
is
available
to
store
data
on
the
falcon
network
and
clients
are,
you
know,
largely
web
3
companies
that
are
building
and
projects
that
are
building
on
top
of
file
coins,
so
using
filecoin
to
store
their
files,
and
so
we
are
building
tools
to
firstly,
just
measure
these
environmental
impacts
right.
A
So
when
a
storage
provider
takes
these
inputs
and
uses
them
to
produce
storage,
how
much
electricity
is
a
storage
provider
using,
for
example,
and
we
can
tell
that
we've
done.
You
know,
months
of
research
and
we
can
tell
how
much
electricity,
a
storage
writer
is
using
just
based
on
their
activity
in
the
network
right.
So
we
can
see
how
quickly
they're
sealing
data.
We
can
see
how
much
data
they're
storing
and
you
can
go
to
filecoin.energy.
A
If
you
want
to
look
up
those
numbers
for
an
individual,
falcon
storage
provider
or
for
the
network
as
a
whole-
and
you
know
there-
you
can
get
a
upper
bound,
a
lower
bound
of
an
estimate
as
to
the
energy
use-
and
you
know,
relate
that
to
on-chain
records.
So
you
have
these
inputs
right.
These
inputs,
like
electricity,
come
with
carbon
emissions.
They
go
into
the
network,
right
storage,
spreaders,
use
them
to
store
files,
they
provide
storage
and
we're
able
to
to
see
that
right,
falcon
green
wants
to
make.
A
All
of
that
really
transparent
wants
to
allow
you
to
see.
You
know
if
you
are
storing
if
you're
a
client
you're
storing
data
with
a
given
filecoin
storage
provider.
What
are
the
emissions
due
to
due
to
that
data,
storage
right
and
we're
part
way
there
right?
We
have.
A
We
have
these
really
really
transparent
industry,
leading
tools
showing
what
we
think
the
electricity
uses,
and
you
know
emissions
is
something
that
we're
working
on
and
when
people
have
ideas
as
to
how
to
how
to
make
tools
better,
we
want
to
get
in
touch
with
you
or
want
to
help
you
build
out
those
ideas.
Then
the
next
part
of
this
right
is:
we
don't
want
to
just
measure.
A
We
actually
want
to
empower
clients
and
storage
providers
and
other
members
of
the
ecosystem
to
actually
reduce
their
environmental
impact,
and
we're
going
to
be
talking
some
about
that.
But
today
we're
going
to
focus
on
this
piece
of
the
puzzle
here
right.
So
electricity,
I
said,
is
the
primary
source
of
emissions
in
the
falkland
network
and
it
is
in
most
crypto
networks,
and
you
know,
electricity
is
used
by
storage
writers
in
order
to
store
files
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
focus
on.
A
So
how
do
renewable
energy
purchases
actually
actually
work
right?
When
we
say
this
file,
coin
storage
fighter
runs
on
renewable
energy.
What
does
that
actually
mean?
Well,
for
some
storage
providers,
like
we
heard
from
descent
a
month
ago,
they're
actually
building
solar
on
their
roof
right.
So
it's
really
clear
if
you're
co-located
with
say
a
solar,
you
know
a
solar
farm
or
you
have
rooftop
solar
right
and
you're
producing
electricity
at
your
facility,
but
most
storage
fighters,
and
just
most
electricity
users
in
general
are
not
co-located
with
renewable
production
right.
A
So
what
are
the
industry
standards
that
handle
a
situation
like
this
right,
where
you
want
to
buy
solar
from
some
particular
solar
farm,
but
that
electricity
is
coming
to
you
through
the
power
grid
right
and
you
as
a
falcon
storage
fighter,
are
using
it
well.
So
the
way
this
works
is
solar
farms
and
you
know
other
other
energy.
A
Renewable
energy
generators
can
produce
both
electricity
and
what's
called
an
energy
attribute
certificate,
and
that
energy
attribute
certificate
can
go
by
a
bunch
of
different
names
based
on
where
you
are
in
europe,
it's
often
called
the
guarantee
of
origin
in
the
u.s.
It
tends
to
be
called
a
renewable
energy
certificate
or
wreck.
You
may
have
heard
some
of
these
names.
A
There's
an
international
program
called
irec,
but
they
all
certify
that
you're
purchasing
a
megawatt
hour
of
electricity
from
this
particular
renewable
energy
generator
right,
and
so
that's
what
the
industry
standard
is
based
on.
A
But
you
know,
of
course
the
situation
is
more
complicated
than
that
right.
So
it's
not
quite
as
clean
cut
as
you're.
Just
there's
a
wire
going
directly
from
this
solar
producer
to
to
your
operation
right,
so
there
are
other.
There
are
other
power
generators
that
are
not
all
renewable
on
that
same
power
grid
and
they
are
producing
power
not
just
for
you,
but
for
everyone
else,
who's
connected
to
that
power
grid
right.
So
this
raises
questions
about
what
is
say:
the
marginal
effect
of
emissions
on
the
storage
provider's
energy
use
right.
A
The
power
grid
is
managed
not
knowing
about
these
energy
attribute
certificates
right.
The
the
operator
just
wants
to
match
the
amount
of
power
being
generated
at
a
given
time
to
the
amount
of
power
being
pulled
out
of
the
grid
at
a
given
time
right.
So
the
marginal
effect
is
much
more
complicated
and
you
can
you
can
figure
it
out
right.
A
You
can
get
these
stats
at
a
particular
point
in
a
power
grid
at
a
particular
point
in
time,
but
it's
it's
not
it's
not
as
clean
a
story
as
we're
led
to
believe
by
this
industry
standard
which,
as
I
said,
is
a
good
industry
standard.
It's
just
you
know.
The
story
is
more
complicated
right,
and
the
next
question
is
when
the
grid
is
stressed:
is
there
enough
electricity
to
go
around
right?
A
A
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
not
causing
power
outages
say,
and
so
this
is
all
an
elaborate
lead
up
to
an
announcement
that
we
made
recently,
which
is
that
protocol
labs
just
invested
about
35
million
dollars
to
build
new
solar
in
the
us,
and
so
the
idea
here
is
that
this
this
fund
is
going
to
go
to
finance,
distributed
solar
projects.
So
those
these
are
going
to
be
solar
projects.
You
know
throughout
the
us
that
tend
are
going
to
tend
to
be
on.
A
You
know
large
commercial
buildings,
so
things
like
office
parks
or
big
box,
retail
stores
that
type
of
thing
that
are
going
to
produce
distributed
renewable
power
all
over
the
country,
and
we
think
that
this
is
going
to
produce
about
three
and
a
half
times
as
much
electricity
as
the
follicle
network
currently
uses
in
the
us
right.
So
this
is
this
is
one
of
the
ways
you
can
substantiate
that
you're.
A
Actually,
you
know
having
a
positive
effect
in
the
power
grid
right
when
you
look
at
the
cumulative
effect
of
the
network
and
this
renewable
energy
that
we
are
providing
primary
capital
to
build
right.
So
we
we
play
a
role
in
financing
these
projects.
These
projects
likely
would
not
have
been
built
without
us
playing
a
role
in
financing
them,
we're
able
to
say:
okay,
we're.
Actually,
you
know
really
having
this,
this
positive
environmental
effect
at
shifting
the
the
entire
power
grid,
which
again
is
a
public
resource
toward
toward
renewable
energy.
A
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
investment,
and
you
know
I'm
happy
to
take
more
questions
on
any
of
this.
If
you

You
can
join
the
follcoin

and
you
can
join
the

If
you
want
to
sign
up
for
updates
for

like
this
one
and
other
updates
that
come
around,
you
can
go
to
tinyurl.com
filecoin
green
upgrade,
updates
we're
also
going
to
have
a
south
by
southwest
panel.
A
That's
going
to
be
both
live
and
and
streamed.
This
is
this
is
a
off-broadway
south
by
southwest
event.
So
it's
going
to
be
at
the
protocol
labs,
nft
hacker
house
on
sunday,
3
13.,
so
you
know
please,
please,
you
know,
watch
the
live
stream
of
that
or,
if
you're
going
to
be
at
south
by
southwest,
please
join
us
in
person
and
so
we're
going
to
the
way
this
is
going
to
work
today.
A
We're
going
to
have
a
few
questions
that
are
directly
relevant
to
a
presentation
right
after
that
presentation.
So
first
for
mine,
then
for
alex's,
then
for
for
gyms,
then
we're
gonna
turn
off
the
live
stream
and
just
have
a
discussion
in
the
zoom
room
that
you
know
could
be
questions
about
specifically.
A
What
was
presented
or
just
general
questions
for
the
the
community
or
for
following
green,
and
so,
if
anyone
wants
to
you
know,
if
anyone
has
any
any
questions
specifically
about
what
I
was
just
talking
about,
feel
free
to
either
remute
yourself
and
ask
we'll
take
a
couple
questions
or
type
them
in
the
chat.
A
Oh
yeah
and
angie
just
just
dropped
in
the
chat,
the
link
for
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit,
which
is
going
to
be
in
austin
at
south
by
southwest
on
march
13th.
C
For
like
outside
of
u.s
or
europe,
so
like
most
of
the
non-green
energy
is
like
produced
there
in
mostly
in
developing
countries
so
far
developing
countries.
Specifically,
what
do
you
look
for
if
they
are
like
sustainable.
A
Yeah
I
mean
so
the
the
overall
story
right
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
that
you
can
support
renewable
energy
in
given
locations
right
and
so
part
of
what
we're
doing
is
is
purchasing
these
energy
attribute
certificates
right,
which
show
that
you
are
supporting
specific
renewables
installations
in
specific
locations
right
and
that's
a
quicker
thing
that
you
can
do
than
building
new
solar
right.
A
So
we're
looking
at
the
totality
of
ways
that
the
network
can
support
renewable
energy
across
the
world
and
we
are
tapping
into
these
renewable
energy
markets
through
energy
attribute
certificates
all
over
the
world.
The
fund
I
just
announced
was
just
in
the
us,
but
we're
looking
to
build.
You
know
additional
additional
solar
or
you
know,
be
involved
in
wind
financing.
That
kind
of
thing
all
across
the
world
and
doing
that
currently
through
these
energy
actually
certificates.
C
A
Are
there
any
apps
being
built
to
help
storage
fighters,
spin
energy
usage
up
and
down
opposite
peak
energy
demand
times?
Yeah?
That's
a
super
good
question
lindsay,
so
the
tools
that
we've
built
so
far
allow
anyone
to
estimate
what
the
energy
uses
of
a
given
storage
fighter
based
on
their
on-chain
activity
right
so
based
on
how
much
energy,
how
much,
how
much
storage
they
are
sealing
over
time
and
how
much
storage
they're
actually
actually
contributing
to
the
network
over
time.
So
then,
the
question
is
okay.
A
Well,
the
the
actual
emissions
right
corresponding
to
energy
use
vary
a
lot
based
on
which
power
network
you're
on
they
vary
a
lot
based
on
where
in
a
given
a
given
power
grid,
you
are
and
they
based
on
they.
They
vary
based
on
time
of
day
right.
A
So
maybe
if
your
grid
has
a
lot
of
solar,
maybe
during
the
middle
of
the
day
you
have
a
really
low
marginal
emissions
factor,
whereas
maybe
at
night,
all
the
fossil
plants
are
what's
primarily
supporting
your
grid,
and
then
you
have
a
relatively
high
emissions
emissions
factor,
so
more
co2
equivalent
emitted
per
megawatt
hour
of
electricity,
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
huge
potential
right,
and
this
is
something
that
we're
talking
to
a
few
different
developers
to
you
know
to
load
shift
right
so
like
what
can
we
do
to
help
the
network
consume
power?
A
At
times
when
locally
the
the
marginal
emissions
factor
is
lower
or
the
average,
if
a
grid
average
emission
factor
is
lower
and
allow
you
to
to
then
show
right
that
you
are
shifting
power
from
high
emissions
hours
to
low
emissions
hours?
A
We
don't
have
any
tools
released
to
do
that
yet,
but
in
direct
answer
to
your
question
lindsay:
yes,
there
are
some
developers
that
we're
talking
to
who
are
working
on
tools
that
are
going
to,
hopefully
allow
storage
butters
to
do
that
and
if
you're
on
this
call-
and
you
are
a
developer
or
a
storage
provider-
and
you
have
ideas
for
for
how
to
do
that
right,
so
both
load
shift
to
reduce
emissions
and
verify
that
load
shifting
publicly.
A
D
Thank
you
very
much,
alan.
It's
good
to
speak
with
everybody
here
today
and
thanks
for
having
me
on
the
the
falcon
screen,
chat
excited
to
share
with
you
guys
what
we've
been
up
to
over
the
last
couple
months
in
terms
of
shaping
our
esg
standards
and
potential
focus
on
our
environmental
standards
as
a
company.
D
As
alan
said,
we're
we're
based
in
canada,
we're
really
north
american
operation.
We've
got
operations
in
montreal
as
well
as
nevada,
with
a
particular
focus
on
renewable
energy
center
energy
data
centers
that
are
powered
by
100
renewable
energy.
D
We've
also
got
a
number
of
different,
a
number
of
different
aspects
that
I'll
show
you
guys
from
our
internal
esg
documents
about
how
we
approach
these
various
different
impacts
that
we
have
as
a
company
and
how
we
can
actually
plan
for
the
future
as
we
scale
and
one
of
the
main
elements
and
I'll
just
start
sharing
my
screen
now
here.
D
One
of
the
main
elements
that
we
found
out
really
quickly
about
trying
to
deal
with
kind
of
esg
and
environmental
standards
and
how
we
deal
with
that
as
a
company
is
that
there
isn't
really
any
clear
standards
out
there.
So
we
spent
all
this
time
talking
to
a
lot
of
the
major
providers
when
it
comes
to.
How
could
we
be
certified?
What
does
certification
look
like
and
we
just
didn't
really
find
anything
that
was,
you
know,
comprehensive
or
seemed
to
be
global
enough
that
that
made
sense
to
us.
D
So
we
brought
in
a
number
of
different
consultants
who
are
who
are
experts
in
the
field
and
and
we
basically
settled
on
a
strategy
that
said
you
know,
let's
just
be
as
transparent
as
we
possibly
can
in
terms
of
you
know
what
we're
doing
from
that
strategy.
What
kind
of
energy
we're
using?
How
much
energy
we're
using
where
that
energy
is
coming
from
as
well?
As
you
know,
as
much
as
we
could
about
what
the
company
was
doing
in
the
other
elements
of
esg?
D
And
we
could
let
you
know,
various
stakeholders
decide
how
they,
how
they
felt
about
that,
and
you
know
how
we
wanted
to
start
as
a
company,
as
I
said,
is
really
focusing
on,
as
alan
pointed
out
earlier,
that
the
main
usage
and
kind
of
environmental
impact
for
falcoid
surrounds
energy
usage.
So
we
thought
our
first
state.
D
I
guess
our
first
tactic
would
be
go
after
these
renewable
energy
data
centers
and
build
off
of
that
right.
We
want
to
work
on
what
we
call
our
product
emissions,
so
what
we're
actually
doing
as
a
company
and
the
product
that
we're
offering
and
once
we're
able
to
fully
assess
that
and
create
something.
That's
fully
sustainable.
D
We'd
like
to
move
on
to
you
know
the
scope,
two
emissions
or
the
business
business
submissions
which
would
encompass.
You
know,
travel
for
the
team
members.
You
know
even
so
much
as
shipping
off
equipment,
shipping
off
hard
drives.
Everything
in
that
scope,
but
we're
definitely
still
in
in
the
first
phase,
this
scope,
one
so
I'll
go
over
a
couple,
different
tactics
that
we
use
and
a
couple
different
standards
that
we're
looking
at
as
a
company.
D
Well,
I'm
just
gonna
this
here.
So
you
know
the
mission
scaling
of
carbon,
neutral,
decentralized
cloud,
storage
and
file
coin
mining.
Obviously
falcon
mining.
The
name
has
changed,
but
you
know,
as
the
stock
is
still
in
the
iteration
form
it's
there
and
our
vision
is,
is
where
data
storage
is
reliable,
secure,
transparent
and
sustainable.
You
know
we
want
to
be
part
of.
You
know
the
future
of
being
able
to
clean
up
people's
existing
energy
usage
lines.
D
When
you
look
at
people's
scope,
1
scope,
2,
scope,
3
emissions
for
those
who
aren't
familiar
that
encompasses
your
entire
footprint
as
a
company.
Their
scope,
1,
is
what
I
say
before.
Is
it
product
product
emissions?
What
you're
doing
directly
2
is
what
you
cause
as
a
company
and
3
is
your
entire
downline.
So,
in
the
case
of
us,
as
a
storage
provider,
that
goes
all
the
way
to
you
know
the
companies
building
the
storage
devices
that
we
use
all
the
way
to
the
the
metals
that
are
inside
those
storage
devices.
D
D
So
just
here
you
know
I'll
quickly.
Touch
on
this
in
terms
of
here
are
some
of
the
the
tools
and
standards
that
we
chose
to
adhere
to.
As
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
we
couldn't
find
an
overall
standard
that
was
was
globally
recognized,
so
here's
a
the
various
ones
that
we've
chosen
to
match
ourselves
to.
As
you
can
see,
you
know
the
top
two
are
our
un-based
standards
as
well.
There's
a
there's
another
one,
the
impact
management
project
and
then
the
final
one.
D
The
global
impact,
investing
that's
more
on
the
iris
mechanism
or
iris
metric
is
for
for
governance
and
not
as
much
for
the
green
side
of
things,
but
the
top
two
from
the
united
nations.
We
thought
those
two
were
the
most
realistic
and
global
standards
that
we
could
try
to
tie
ourselves
to
here
for
the
impact
thesis
is,
you
know
we
want
to
be
a
properly
run
company
from
the
beginning
right.
D
We
started
at
the
beginning
of
all
this
and
said
it's
much
easier
to
start
with
a
clean
act
than
it
is
to
go
retroactively
clean
up
your
your
company,
so
we
said
at
the
very
beginning:
what
could
we
do
and
how
could
we
set
these
standards
for
ourselves
to
make
sure
that
we
adhere
to
them
from
the
beginning
and
we
grow
around
these
standards
instead
of
trying
to
fix
things
and
then
also
taking
a
look
at
what
these
standards
meant
to
us
as
a
company?
And
how
did
that
affect?
D
You
know
the
larger
ecosystem
surrounding
us.
So,
if
we're
choosing
to
use
data
centers
that
have
renewable
energy,
if
we're
choosing
to
use
outside
resources
for
things
like
compute
or
cloud
storage,
or
anything
that
we
need
to
pull
in,
to
continue
to
run
the
business,
it's
understanding
what
impact
those
resources
have
and
then
being
able
to
source
the
appropriate
local
renewables.
Energy
credits,
which
I
know
filecoin
green,
is,
is
working
with
a
number
of
different
parties
as
well,
but
we've
also
found
is
that
renewable
energy
credits
can
be
difficult
to
manage.
D
They
are
probably
best
best
in
the
marketplace
right
now.
Carbon
credits
themselves
are,
you
know
murky
at
best,
whereas
renewable
energy
credits
have
a
direct
calculable
impact,
but
we
also
found
that
you
have
to
get
something
that
that's
local,
to
where
you're
actually
using
a
non-clean
form
of
energy.
So
that's
another
element
of
what
we've
incorporated
into
our
plan.
D
So
the
upstream
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
we're
reducing
our
own
ghd
emissions,
but
we're
also
promoting
the
growth
of
these
companies
that
that
agree
with
the
types
of
energy
standards
and
environmental
standards
that
we
have,
that
we
have
as
a
company
and
the
more
that
we
grow,
we
become
a
larger
customer.
They
are
continuing
to
create
that
financial
incentive
to
for
others
to
switch
to
what
we're
doing
and
we've
got
some
other
pieces
of
information
here.
D
So
here's
another
couple
pieces
when
we
get
deeper
into
what
we're
looking
at
as
a
storage
provider,
we've
looked
at
the
different
categories,
specifically
in
terms
of
what
our
impact
is.
You
know
this
is
again
all
scope,
one.
So
specifically
what
we're
doing
as
a
company,
we
haven't
really
been
able
to
dig
too
deep
into
the
impact
of
the
actual
hardware
that
we're
buying.
D
Although
that's
that's
on
our
list
and
something
I
could
talk
a
little
bit
at
the
end
in
terms
of
extending
the
longevity
and
how
that
impacts,
the
environmental
ecosystem
surrounding
falcoid,
but
what
we've
done
here
is
broken
this
up
into
two
elements
of
the
way
that
we
measure
this.
The
first
is:
is
energy
management?
D
There's
a
couple
more
standard
ways
that
we
look
at
that
and
it's
this
kind
of
sasb
metric,
which
is
sustainability,
accounting
standards
board
a
a
non-for-profit
metric
that
people
can.
I
guess,
companies
and
corporations
not-for-profits
can
all
assess
their
own
systems
against.
D
You
know
existing
statistics
out
there,
renewable
energy
that
we
consume,
where
the
data
sources
are,
and
then
we
can
extract
all
that
and
present
it
to
to
stakeholders
and
how
we're
actually
gonna
do
that
we're
working
with
a
group
here,
I
think
you
may
have
seen
the
name
in
some
of
these
slides
called
proof
of
impact
and
we're
actually
going
to
be
drawing
energy
directly
from
the
pu's
and
our
data
centers
and
projecting
that
live
on
our
on
our
website,
so
that
people
could
see
the
types
of
energy
that
we're
using
how
much
energy
we're
using
and
a
historical
account
of
all
that
energy.
D
Obviously
utilizing
again
that
source
of
truth
that
I
was
talking
about
before
the
falcon
offers.
I'd
say
that
none
of
this
data
has
been
has
been
edited.
It
was
all
you
know,
put
onto
the
blockchain
directly
and
saved
on
the
blockchain,
so
that
stakeholders
can
have
an
accurate
representation
of
what
our
energy
mixes
look
like
over
time,
how
it's
improved,
how
it's
gone
better
or
worse,
whatever
that
may
be,
and
so
we're
using
that
metric
for
that
and
you
may
notice
a
couple
n
a's
there
on
the
right
side
from
metric
catalog.
D
These
are
actually
metrics
that
we're
working
to
come
up
with
and
that's
surrounding
the
actual
energy
impact
based
on
file,
coin
mines
or
file
coin
earned
as
a
storage
provider.
So
there's
a
couple
different
items
that
we're
considering
we
have
to
consider.
You
know
how
filecoin
plus
applies
to
this
time
of
day.
This
is
earned.
D
Is
there
changes
in
terms
of
when
coin
is
earned
your
day
or
night
for
stock
based
on
when
providers
are
are
operating
more
when
things
are
being
added
on,
so
we're
actually
trying
to
come
up
with
a
kind
of
energy
associated
number
for
these
different
metrics
about
how
filecoin
is
mined
and
how
specifically,
we
could
look
at
the
energy
attachment
to
each
file
coin
as
we
as
we
do
that.
D
You
know
scope,
one
scope,
two
we're
really
working
on
this,
the
scope,
one
right
now,
once
we
have
our
setup
done
with
the
the
pdus
to
collect
the
direct
energy
usage,
and
we
can
make
the
accurate
assessment
on
on
what
our
energies
are
just
now
we
can
start
moving
towards.
You
know
what
that
scope
to
is
going
to
look
like
and
we're
lucky
since
we're
a
decentralized
office.
D
But
we're
we're
making
a
lot
of
headway
here
on
just
assessing
specific
impacts
of
you
know
us
as
a
mining
operation
and
what
these
coins
that
we're
producing
actually
do,
both
from
a
ghd
and
from
an
energy
perspective
and
the
final
slide.
I
want
to
share
with
you
guys
here
and
then
we
can
open
up
for
some
questions
if
people
are
interested
is
I
get
going
back
to
that?
D
The
point
that
I've
made
a
few
times
was
the
fragmented
market
of
reporting
and
standards
and
people
to
actually
give
those
certifications,
and
you
know
the
closest
thing
that
you
could
get
to
standards
or
the
iso
standards,
which
are
the
emission
standards
that
the
un
has
put
out,
which
are
hundreds
of
pages,
extremely
complex
and,
quite
quite
honestly,
a
little
bit
dry
at
times
to
understand.
D
And
you
know
we
want
to
be
100
transparent
with
the
reporting
here
and
that's
that's
what
we're
doing
with
the
you
know
pdus
within
the
data
center,
so
we
could
get
our
segment
of
energy
used
and
we
could
assess
that
based
on
how
much
we've
specifically
done
within
the
data
center
opposed
to
just
this
is
what
the
data
center
used
with
it.
With
that
data,
we
could
see
how
it's
performed
against
the
internal
metrics.
D
We
set
some
of
what
you
saw
above
there,
so
we
can
continue
to
report
transparently
to
both
the
public
and
private,
about
how
we've
been
able
to
perform
with
these
metrics
and
then,
as
we
continue
to
you,
know,
either
meet
or
exceed
these
metrics.
We
can
continue
to
grow
those
metrics
and
and
improve
as
a
company
again.
This
kind
of
next
piece
of
that
is
the
the
data
collection,
aggregation
and
all
these
elements
of
you
know.
D
Once
we've
collected
the
raw
data,
it's
presenting
it
we're
going
to
be
having,
with
you
know,
partnership
with
this
proof
of
company
we're
going
to
be
having
a
dashboard
on
our
website
for
everybody
to
review
so
that
it's
you
know
any
stakeholder
from
the
fire
filipino
ecosystem
can
go
there
and
see
all
this
data
that
we've
collected
in
a
you
know
a
nicely
visualized
way
to
you
know
in
hopes
that
we
could
set
the
standard
not
just
for
ourselves
but
for
for
other
actors
in
the
final
ecosystem,
how
how
they
could
potentially
perform
and
compare
against
us
so
that
we
can
act
along
or
we
could
act
as
a
benchmark
alongside.
D
I
know
what
you
guys
are:
building
it
file
coin
green.
There
allen
we're
trying
to
do
that
as
well
and,
just
you
know,
add
some
metrics
there
for
people
to
take
a
look
at
and
then
the
the
data
verification.
As
I
mentioned
before,
I
mean
all
the
data
that
we're
collecting
is
going
to
be
directly
transmitted
onto
blockchain
and
stored
on
blockchain,
so
that
there's
that
trustless
verification
that
whatever
data
there
is
good
or
bad.
D
We
can't
we
can't
get
around
that.
So
we
have
to
be
kept
honest
there
and
if
we
see
problems
and
we
can
improve
on
those
problems,
if
there
aren't
any
problems,
then
we're
happy
to
brag
about.
You
know
what
we're
doing,
but
it's
really
just.
We
want
to
use
blockchain
for
one
of
its
main
functions,
which
is
creating
transparently
transparency
and
a
trustless
system
for
people,
and
then
this
this
final
piece,
even
though
it's
a
circle,
but
it's
the
analysis
that
people
can
take
a
look
at
what
we've
done.
D
D
I
know
one
of
the
questions
that
was
just
asked
in
terms
of
you
know:
usage
of
power
at
night
and
during
the
day,
and
this
data
analysis
can
can
help
us
as
a
company
understand
not
just
our
cost,
but
actually
are
there
more
efficient
ways
to
to
be
earning
file
coin,
using
our
resources
by
analyzing
the
data
that
we
collect.
D
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
general
idea
there
in
terms
of
what
the
process
that
we've
set
out
as
a
company
we're
well
on
our
way
to
to
achieving
a
lot
of
that,
and
it's
become
a
significant
mission
from
the
beginning
of
seal
storage
and
we're
about
a
year
and
a
bit
into
the
into
the
project
now
and
we're
excited
to
keep
to
keep
innovating
and
and
improving
on
all
this.
D
Can
like
that's
that's
a
bit
of
information.
I
think
there's
about
five
minutes
left,
I'm
not
sure.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
about
you
know
methodology
or
how
we
got
here,
what
we'd,
what
we're
planning.
A
Yeah
feel
free
to
drop
questions
in
the
chat
or
or
raise
your
hand
or
mute
yourself.
If
you
have
a
if
you
want
to
ask
anything.
D
D
I
know
it's
a
standard
that
was
published
about
you
know
11
years
ago
it's
a
non-government
non-governmental
body
and
there's
kind
of
no
legal
obligations
to
to
adhere
to
them,
but
it's
just
a
various
set
of
rules
that
you
can
kind
of
look
at
and
say,
like
here's,
a
way
to
try
to
standardize
like
if
you
measure
you
know
in
this
type
of
kilowatt
hours,
megawatt
hours
like
everybody
has
to
have
the
specific
types
of
standards
that
work
well
together,
so
that
everybody's
trying
to
grow
in
the
same
direction,
at
least
compare
notes,
apples
to
apples,
type
kind
of
type
analysis.
D
I
mean
the
rest
of
it,
though
I'd
have
to
say
I'm
not
hit
too
deep
in
that
of
my
side
of
things.
That
seal
is,
is
really
trying
to
get
more
of
the
broad
goals
in
terms
of
the
in-depth
analysis
of
how
how
we're
able
to
track
that
there's
a
certain
level
of
expertise
that
I
don't
currently
possess.
But
I
do
know
that
the
sasb
is,
you
know
it's
promoted
a
lot
by
deloitte
and
used
by
many
of
the
big
four
accounting
firms,
so
we're
quite
comfortable
with
some
of
those
standards.
D
And
there's
a,
I
guess:
there's
another
element
that
we're
looking
at
as
a
company,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
big
push
for
us
once
we're
able
to
get
the
the
dashboard
up
and
running
something
that
we've
been
really
taking
a
look
at
as
a
company
is
you
know
you
could
do
a
lot
with
renewable
energy
and
reducing
your
ghg
emissions,
but
one
of
the
absolute
best
ways
that
I
think
follow
coin
can
actually
improve
overall
emissions.
D
That
is
an
area
that
you
know
we're
looking
to
to
explore
and
try
and
analyze
is
because
you
can
keep
older
machines
for
longer,
because
they're
profitable
for
longer.
You
could
actually
significantly
reduce
e-waste
and
the
emissions
associated
with
e-waste,
and
I
actually
think
that
area
might
be
one
of
the
largest,
if
not
the
largest
impact,
that
filecoin
can
have
from
an
environmental
perspective.
D
A
Yeah,
I
think
two
two
really
important
things
to
highlight.
Are
you
know,
firstly,
that
right
when
you,
when
you
think
about
falcoin,
being
a
falcon
storage
writer
versus
like
a
bitcoin
miner
right
with
a
bitcoin
miner,
your
your
profitability
is
super
closely
tied
to
what
exactly
the
price
of
energy
is
and
precisely
how
efficient
your
hardware
is.
A
And
so
I
think
the
z-wave,
which
point
is
you
know,
is
really
well
taken
that
with
falcoin,
you
invest
in
a
bunch
of
hardware,
but
you
know
you're
using
it
to
seal
over
time
and
like
energy
use
is
not
as
as
high
a
you
know,
a
portion
of
your
your
operating
cost
or
like
the
overall
capital
structure
of
like
a
file
coin
mining
operation,
which,
like
very
much
as
you're,
saying,
changes
the
game
in
terms
of
how
long
your
hardware
lasts.
D
It's
that
as
well
as
you
know,
with
the
increase
of
storage
density
right,
if
all
you're
doing
as
a
storage
provider
in
a
non-blockchain
world
is
selling
storage,
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
just
keep
buying
denser
storage
every
four
years,
because
why
would
you
bother
taking
up
rackspace
and
energy
when
you
could
just
buy
new
storage,
and
then
you
kind
of
make
that
economic
factor
into
yourself
as
a
company?
But
if
you're
able
to
almost
subsidize
those
older
machines
and
keep
data
on
them,
because
there's
still
block
rewards
associated
with
that?
D
There
is
an
economic
reason
to
keep
those
older
older
machines
on
the
racks,
even
though
they
may
be
not
as
energy
efficient
as
new
machines,
it's
still
significantly
better
than
having
to
create
an
entirely
new
machine.
So
I
think
that's
you
know
another
area
beyond
bitcoin
mining,
but
I
mean
just
extending
older
machines
for
conventional
storage
providers,
is,
is
an
exciting
area
for
us
to
explore.
A
Something
else
that
you
mentioned
that
I
really
want
to
highlight
is
you
know,
making
actual
data
from
your
pdus
available,
so
people
can
really
see
like
what
are
the
actual
electricity
measurements
right
as
a
function
of
time
like
over
the
course
of
a
day
or
a
month
or
a
year?
That's
just
that's.
Just
such
a
higher
standard
right
of
transparency
than
exists
in
web
2
right
now,
right
like
when
you,
when
you
go
to
google
like
you,
don't
you
don't
see
the
pdu
right,
so
you
know
as
much
as
we
can
do
it'll.
A
Like
really
tie,
you
know
statements
about
environmental
impact
like
you're
doing
to
not
just
not
just
average
measurements
or
not
just
overall
measurements
or
sort
of
a
big
picture
or
a
glossy
pdf,
but
like
actual
real
underlying
data,
I
think
that's
to
going
to
just
really
upgrade
our
ability
to
make
these
environmental
claims
in
a
way
that
is,
you
know,
transparent
and
verifiable.
A
Awesome
great,
thank
you
so
much
alex.
If
you
can,
you
know,
stick
around
afterwards
at
all
for
discussion
people.
You
know
you
know
both
you
and
and
anyone
who's
on
the
call
who
has
more
more
thoughts
or
questions.
You
know.
That
would
be
great.
I
think
now
we're
gonna
move
to
jim
pick,
who
is
a
developer
who's
been
working
on
this
question.
A
That
is
really
at
the
heart
like
I
was
saying
of
matching
energy
use
in
this
distributed
permissionless
network
to
renewable
energy,
which
is
that
you
need
to
procure
renewable
energy.
That
is
not
just
you
know
it's
not
just
renewable,
but
it
needs
to
be
procured
at
a
given
place
and
at
a
given
time
that
is
matched
with
the
you
know,
the
the
energy
that
you're
consuming
right,
and
so
there's
this
huge
question
right.
A
If
you
have
this
distributed
network,
that
has
all
these
different
nodes
on
it
and
we
know
something
about
how
much
they're
using
we
need
some
idea
where
they
are
geographically
in
order
to
match
them
with
renewable
energy.
And
so
this
is
you
know
this.
This
question
is
really
at
the
intersection
of
two
fields
that
are
rapidly
evolving
right.
One
one
of
these
fields
is
just
how
do
you?
How
do
you
you
make
really
high
quality
sustainability
claims
about
renewable
energy
right
and
and
standards
for
that?
A
I'm
thinking
of
things
like
like
the
shift
to
24
7
renewable
energy,
those
are
those
are
being
debated
and
upgraded
right
now
and
then
on
the
other
side,
you
have
the
whole
field
of
of
power
use
and
distributed
systems
right,
which
is
very
much
an
area
of
academic
research
right
now
and
they
sort
of
collide
right
at
this
point,
where
you're
trying
to
imagine
okay,
how
do
we
take
this
distributed
system
where
we
have
little
nuggets
of
information
about
geographical
power
use,
but
not
the
whole
picture?
A
B
Okay,
so
my
name
is
jim
pick.
I
live
in
victoria,
british
columbia,
canada,
so
it's
just
sort
of
on
the
west
coast
just
across
from
seattle,
where
allen
is,
and
I've
been
freelancing
in
the
file
coin
space
for
the
past
two
years.
B
B
That's
happening
on
filecoin,
partly
for
my
own
understanding,
but
partly
because
I
need
this
sort
of
metadata
that
comes
out
of
the
blockchain
to
be
able
to
successfully
make
deals
and
find
providers
and
store
files
on
the
network
successfully,
and
I'm
really
interested
in
using
fileclean
as
a
storage
medium
and
I'm
I'm
not
approaching
it.
As
a
storage
provider,
where
I'm
trying
to
put
hardware
on
and
earn
block
rewards,
I
want
to
use
it
as
a
client,
so
I've.
Basically
I've
created
this
open
source
project
and
you
can
access
it.
B
If
you
just
go
into
your
browser
and
you
just
type
provider.quest,
I've
registered
the
domain
name
and
it'll
just
redirect
you
to
this
platform
called
observablehq
and
it's
a
platform
where
there's
a
large
community
of
people
who
build
visualizations
using
javascript
a
lot
of
data
science
and
visualization
people
are
here
and
if
you
go
to
the
site,
you
can
see
all
the
different
notebooks
I've
been
putting
out
there
and
I'm
also
publishing
a
lot
of
data
that
I'm
generating
out
onto
the
ipfs
network,
and
I
encourage
people
to
take
this
data
and
try
to
build
applications
with
it
as
well.
B
So
so
this
is.
This
is
my
project.
Just
like
every
day
I
go
in
here
and
I
look
at
the
published
deals
and
in
real
time,
I'm
tracking
how
many
files
are
being
started.
Deals
are
stored
on
file
going,
how
many
files
there
are,
and
so
I'm
tracking
several
different,
I'm
pulling
in
several
different
types
of
information.
So
the
main
thing
I'm
pulling
in
is
power
information.
So
I'm
every
hour,
I'm
scanning
in
every
single
storage
provider
on
the
network
and
I'm
storing
their
their
power
into
my
database.
B
I
do
this
by
connecting
to
a
lotus,
node
I'm
running
and
pulling
in
the
power
I'm
also
pulling
in
all
the
deal
information.
So
that's
the
information
you
see
here.
So
this
is
updated
hourly
you
can.
You
can
go,
there's
an
hourly
view
here.
You
can.
You
can
see
it,
but
what's
relevant
to
the
talk
today.
Is
I'm
also
pulling
in
location
information?
B
So
the
thing
to
understand
with
filecoin
is
there
are
sort
of
like
two
types
of
providers
on
the
network
and
I'm
going
to
pull
in
a
there
was
a
blog
post.
So
if
you
can
search
for
the
falcon
blog
for
block
rewards
and
at
the
bottom
of
the
article
there's
article
about
the
stages
of
file
coin,
and
so
you
can
think
when
filecoin
launched
in
stage
one,
there
was
a
big
land
rush.
B
Everybody
set
up
their
their
operations
and
they
put
tons
of
computers
on
and
like
there's
actually
like
millions
of
hard
drives
hooked
up
the
file
coin
and
they're
all
going
for
block
rewards.
So
they
they
put
these
machines
on
the
network
and
they
want
to
get
block
rewards
and,
as
the
network
matures
it's
going
to
be
more
for
people
like
me
who
want
to
store
file
files
on
the
network
and
that
that's
about
deals.
B
So
that's
can
I
send
files
to
a
storage
provider
and
retrieve
them
back
so
for
stage
one
for
block
rewards,
it's
all
about
putting
capacity
on
the
network.
They
have
to
put
the
hard
drives
on
the
network.
They
have
to
continuously
prove
to
the
blockchain
that
their
their
machines
are
on
the
network
and
then
they
get
block
rewards
which
are
worth
money.
You
know
the
following
token
price
could
go
up.
B
That's
what
everybody's
banking
on,
and
so
this
is
the
big
land
rush,
but
all
of
these
storage
providers
they
did
there
was
no
requirement
for
them
to
actually
advertise
their
location.
B
So
if
you
look
at
the,
if
you
take
all
the
different
storage
providers
out
there
more
than
half
of
them
right
now,
I'm
not
exactly
I'll
show
you.
So
I
have
a
visualization
here
the
if
I
click
on
sun
sunburst
here,
I'm
gonna
just
turn
that
off
it
takes
a
second
to
load,
because
it's
pulling
in
a
lot
of
data
here.
B
So
you
can
see
this
is
this
is
the
current
power
of
the
network,
so
there's
15
xp
bytes.
I
guess
that's
how
you
say
it
and
of
all
the
power.
That's
on
the
network,
this
much
power-
if
I
just
go
by
looking
at
the
ip
addresses
of
the
the
machines
associated
with
the
storage
provider,
addresses
I
don't
have
an
ip
address
for
them,
so
I
can't
geo,
locate
them
and
find
out
their
address
so
and
the
ones
we
do
know.
You
know
we
have
a
lot,
so
this
is
going
by
power.
B
I
can
also
look
at
this
by
provider.
Count.
B
It's
it's
a
slightly
different,
so
the
the
really
big
providers
that
have
like
hundreds
of
thousands
of
hard
drives
hooked
up
to
them
a
lot
of
them.
Those
are
the
ones
that
aren't
making
it
known
where
they
are,
and
so
this
is
a
this
is
a
really
big
problem.
If
you
want
to
buy
energy
credits
because.
B
Are
they
like,
and
so
all
the
the
rest
of
these
you
know
we
all
have
ips,
so
we've
actually
got
ip
addresses
for
more
than
half
of
the
providers
on
the
network.
But
if
you
look
at
the
total,
like
the
hard
drive
usage,
you
know
it's
well,
two-thirds
of
them.
We
don't
actually
have
information
on
where
they
are
just
by
looking
at
the
ip
address
that
there
now
the
reason
they
would
put
their
ip
address
advertise
it
to
the
network
is
because
they
want
to
get
deals.
B
You
can't
talk
to
you
can't
communicate
with
them
on
the
internet.
To
say
I
store
my
file
retrieve
my
file
unless
they
make
that
available,
but
if
they're
only
interested
in
getting
block
rewards,
it's
not
really
a
problem
for
them.
In
fact,
it
might
actually
be
a
good
idea
for
them
not
to
put
their
ip
address
on
the
network
just
because
that
opens
you
up
to
you,
know
hackers
and
denial
service
attacks
and
that
sort
of
thing
which
could
impact
them
trying
to
make
their
block
rewards.
B
So
so
maybe
maybe
all
of
these
providers
are
just
being
sort
of
smart,
maybe
they're
doing
like
sort
of
like
a
game.
Theory
type
of
thing.
You
know
like
they
don't
want
it's
a
permissionless
network.
They
don't
really
want
to
reveal
their
cards
their
poker
hand
to
the
rest
of
the
network,
but
as
as,
as
as
the
as
the
network
moves
into
stage
two
there's
gonna.
These
providers
are
going
to
want
to
de-cloak
themselves.
B
They're
gonna
want
to
make
themselves
available
because
they're
going
to
want
to
store
file
clean,
plus
deals
onto
their
net
onto
their
machines
into
their
storage
provider.
So
the
today
there
was
the
oh
snap
upgrade.
You
know
snap
deals,
so
all
of
that
storage
that's
been
proved
to
the
network.
They
can
now
put
that
online
and
people
store
data
into
it.
They
get
10
times
the
block
rewards.
B
So
so
the
economics
are
going
to
change,
we're
moving
to
stage
2
here
and
a
lot
more
of
those
ips
will
become
available
so,
but
we
still
have
this
problem.
So
it's
like
okay,
where
are
these
like?
We,
we
want
to
know
for
falcon
green.
You
know
where
are
they
actually
located
so
just
going
off
the
ip
addresses?
We
have
no
clue,
but
we
we
do
have
a
lot
of
blockchain
information
and
there's
a
project
that
protocol
labs
runs
called
sentinel,
it's
a
piece
of
software
and
then
what
they
do.
B
Is
it
it's.
It's
a
historic
archive
of
all
the
blockchain
data.
That's
ever
been
recorded
into
your
file
coin,
blockchain
coded
into
the
blockchain,
and
you
can
download
it
and
it's
all
on
amazon
s3
in
this
historical
data
dumps
directory.
So
what
I
can
do
is
I
can.
Actually
I
don't.
I
can't
use
the
ip
information,
but
what
I
can
do
is
I
can
look
at
the
funding
history.
So
when
you
create
a
storage
provider,
a
miner
when
you
create
a
miner
on
the
network.
B
You
have
to
put
some
money
into
a
wallet
address
on
the
network.
You
put
some
file
coin
in
there
and
with
that
you
can
create
your
your
storage
provider
and
so
every
single
storage
provider.
That's
on
the
network
originally
was
funded
by
a
file
coin
address
with
some
funds
in
it
and
every
one
of
those
file
coin
addresses
was
got
money
from
somewhere
else.
They
initially
fund
it.
B
Then,
if
you
trace
it
all
the
way
back
right
back
to
the
genesis
block
of
the
network
when
they
started
the
network,
there
was
a
whole
bunch
of
storage
providers
that
were
initially
seated
in
the
very
very
beginning
of
five
months,
and
so
we
can
build
a
a
tree.
We
can
look
at
like
this.
Address
was
funded
by
this
address
was
funded
by
this
address
and
some
of
the
addresses
funded,
multiple
addresses
and
a
lot
of
these
a
lot
of
these
addresses
are
not
used
for
storage
providers.
B
A
lot
of
them
are
just
for
you
know:
people
investing
in
file
coin
or
playing
you
know,
buying
and
selling,
but
we
can
just
filter
down
the
tree
and
just
look
at
the
ones
that
were
in
so
okay,
I'm
going
to
go
faster.
B
So
so
what
I've
done
is
I've
taken
a
look
at
this
funding
tree
and
what
I
did
was
I
processed
every
single
transaction.
That's
ever
happened
on
filecoin
from
these
data
dumps.
I'm
able
to
construct
a
tree
like
this,
and
I
can
look
at
each
service
provider
and
if
you
look
at
this
tree,
you
can
sort
of
look
through
here
and
you
see
you
can
sort
of
see
when
you
go
down
some
of
these
branches.
B
Oh
they're,
all
in
a
very
similar
geography,
and
so
I
built
a
tool
where
I
can
look
at
these
geography
or
look
at
this
funding
tree
and
mix
in
the
the
information
I
know
about
like
from
ip
addresses.
B
But
then
some
of
them-
I
don't
know
so,
okay,
so
I'm
going
to
going
to
quickly
show
you
a
test
case.
I
have
so.
I
can
look
at
sub
sub
trees
of
this
big
funding
tree.
You
can
see.
Here's
a
small
sub
tree
this.
This
address
funded
these
addresses
and
some
of
them
are
storage
providers
which
happen
to
be
in
china,
ones
in
hong
kong
and
but
some
of
these
I
don't
know
where
they
are.
B
I
can
click
on
them
and
if
I
click
so,
let's
say
I
like
to
click
on
this
one.
I
don't
know
where
this
one
is,
but
if
I
go
up
here,
I
can
see
this
other
one
is
in
this
location,
and
so
I
can
just
start
mapping
these
and
I
can
say:
okay,
this
one
is
probably
the
same
as
this
one.
This
one
is
probably
the
same
as
this
one.
B
Here
and
here's
one,
this
was
japan
and
russia,
so
I
this
all
this
capacity,
that's
been
proven
to
the
network.
I
didn't
know
where
it
is,
but
now
I
can
sort
of
make
a
pretty
good
guess
of
how
it
works.
B
So
I'm
running
out
of
time,
so
I'm
just
going
to
show
this
with
some
reporting,
so
I
spent
a
month
working
on
this
and
I
just
got
it
working
yesterday,
so
I
can
go
back
to.
B
Oh
there's
so
sunburst
so
with
the
synthetic
regions.
Now
I
can
say
I
don't
have
this
big
section.
That
was
we
don't
know
where
they
are.
I
can.
I
can
take
all
of
these
ones
where
we
don't
know
and
we
can
map
them
on
to
the
existing
ones.
We
know
based
on
this
funding
tree
so
now,
if
I
look
at
the
entire
power
of
the
network.
B
It's
like
this,
and
then
we
can.
We
can
actually
drill
down
into
these,
so
we
can
go
into
like
europe.
We
say:
okay,
most
of
the
power
is
in
germany.
B
B
B
B
I've
now
mapped
an
additional
a
bunch
of
these
providers
or
we
didn't
know
where
they
were,
but
they
say
a
good
chunk
of
them
are
probably
in
california,
based
on
this
funding
tree
and
now
we
have
140
petabytes,
so
we've
gone
from
16
petabytes
to
140
petabytes,
and
this
is
not
guaranteed
to
be
correct,
but
it's
probably
proportionate
with
the
with
the
information
that
we
know,
and
it's
probably
when
you
do
numbers
in
aggregate.
This
is
probably
not
far
off
from
what
it
would
actually
be.
B
B
Vary
depending
on
some
some
some
regions
we
can
see
in
the
funding
tree
they're
really
sort
of
tightly
packed
together,
whereas
in
some
other
regions,
it's
scattered
all
through
the
tree
and
that's
going
to
affect
sort
of
like
the
ratio
of
how
much
how
we
map
these
things
together
so
anyway.
So
I've
had
this
data
that
I
just
got
this
working
yesterday.
So
I
I
don't
have
enough
documentation
and
it's
a
little
hard
to
explain
it,
but
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
B
A
Yeah,
thank
you
jim.
I
you
know,
I
really
want
to
underscore
right.
It's
like
this
is
an
issue
in
the
falcon
network,
but
but
not
just
in
foul
point
right,
like
as
as
renewable
energy
in
permissionless
distributed
systems
evolves
right.
People
increasingly
have
these
questions
about
like
how
do
we
actually
take
this
global
network
where
we
have
these
like
bits
of
information
and
actually
connect
it
to
renewable
energy?
A
In
a
way
where
you
know
the
renewable
energy
purchases
are
proportional
to
where
we
think
that
power
is
being
used
right
and
some
storage
providers
like
alex
was
just
talking
about,
are
on
board
with
being
super
super
transparent,
and
you
know
revealing
their
location
and
their
power
use
and
getting
all
that
audited.
But
then
there's
a
ton
of
storage
providers
where
just
to
make
a
good
faith
effort
matching
renewable
energy
to
matching
energy
consumption
to
renewable
energy
energy
production.
A
A
As
I
was
describing
this
problem
to
jim,
and
you
know
he-
he
had
this
idea
that
I
think
he
had
been
thinking
about
for
a
while
with
these
funding
trees-
and
I
I
was-
I
was
sort
of
amazed-
he
was
able
to
come
up
with
something
like
this
and
then
I
think
I
think
he
said
that
his
dad
is
a
detective
or
was
a
detective.
So
I
guess
it
runs
in
the
family
is
like
the
conclusion
I
had
but
yeah.
A
B
Regions
yeah,
so
the
synthetic
regions
don't
generate
from
the
tree.
Yes,
so
we
use
the
tree
information
combined
with
information.
We
know
about
ip
addresses
for
the
providers
that
do
have
ip
addresses.
We
combine
it
together
and
then
for
the
ones
in
the
same
part
of
the
tree,
where
we
can
match
them
with
the
with
ip
addresses.
B
We
can,
I
call
them
delegates,
so
they
they
they
delegate
their
locations
to
another
one
in
a
very
sort
of
consistent
uses
technique
called
consistent,
hashing
to
map
them
together,
and
this
provides
this
gives
us
the
ability
to
not
just
randomly
assign
them,
but
we're
actually
looking
at
the
structure
of
the
funding
tree
to
intelligently
map
like
this
one
we
don't
know
about,
but
we
know
it's
been
funded
with
common
ancestors
to
these
other
ones.
B
So
we're
going
to
map
the
locations
using
these
delegates
in
a
very
consistent
sort
of
way,
and
it's
it's
only
information.
We
really
have
so
it's
sort
of
the
best
we
can.
We
can
do
with
information
we
have,
but
you
know
with
this
algorithm
we
can
assign
everybody
another
a
location,
even
if
we
really
know
nothing
about
them
other
than
their
funding
history
and
that
location.
B
Might
it's
just
a
guess:
it's
not
going
to
be
accurate
100
of
the
time,
but
the
theory
is
that
it's
going
to
be
mostly
accurate,
like
if
you're
doing,
high-level
reporting,
where
you
mix
all
the
data
together,
you
know
for
like
falcon
green.
It
doesn't
need
to
know
specifically
where
everybody
is.
It
would
be
nice
to
know,
but
in
aggregate
it
should
be
pretty
pretty
accurate,
more
accurate
than
just
guessing
so.
B
So
this
is
awesome.
Would
it
be
too
much
to
ask
if
you
could
show
an
example,
since
your
tool
seems
too
powerful?
Okay,
more,
can
you
explain
some
more
about
what
info
is
in
the
funding
tree?
The
funding
tree
is
really
simple,
so
it's
just
basically
like
if
we
go,
this
file
is
so
big
in
my
browser.
B
So
if
you
look
at
the
the
the
genesis
of
filecoin,
you
know
when
you
have
your
you
put
your
funds
in
a
file
coin
address
it's
this
big
long
string,
but
each
one
people
don't
under
each
one
of
those
long
strings
with
your
like:
f,
zero,
one
or
f,
zero,
three
or
f1
or
f3.
Also
cor
has
a
a
short
name
like
this,
so
I
can
use
these
short
names
and
these
are
all
wallets
or
wallet
addresses,
and
so
this
was
actually
the
genesis
block,
f0110
and
genesis.
B
All
these
different
addresses
were
funded
and
each
of
those
addresses
so
like
this
address
was
funded.
Then
this
address
was
used
to
create
this
other
address,
which
happens
to
be
a
file
coin
provider
or
miner,
and
it
was
funded
from
funds
that
initially
got
so
we
can.
We
can
see
that
this
one
filecoin
providers
can
be
in
multiple
locations
depending
on
how
many
addresses
they
advertise
ip
addresses.
B
So
we
can
see
this
one
was
in
china
in
fujian.
Here's
a
different
one,
it's
in
in
germany
and
so
we're
just.
This
is
the
only
information
I'm
really
using
to
to
build
the
tree.
It's
just
like
who
initially
funded
all
of
these
addresses,
and
then
I
built
the
tree
out
of
that
and
then
I
mix
in
the
location
information.
I
know.
B
Okay,
how
far
back
do
you
go
to
predict
unknown
location
in
the
funding
tree?
Some
predefined
memory
levels
till
you
find
a
location?
Does
the
level
at
which
you
make
a
prediction
impact
accuracy
yeah?
So
maybe
I
will
click
I'll
click
on
the
funding
test.
Cases
it'll
basically
go
back
as
far
back
as
it
needs
to
so.
B
It
says
first
ancestor
with
region
data,
so
it
goes
back
to
to
this
one
and
and
then
once
it
goes
back
this
far.
It
has
region
data
here,
so
it
won't
go
back
any
further
than
that
and
then
it
crawls
back
and
it
sees
it-
only
has
this
one
region
that
is
below
this.
This
node.
B
B
And
now
it's
going
to
include
two
two
possible
delegates,
so
this
one
here
and
this
one
here,
so
I
had
to
click
on
it
so
and
they
have
their
the
power.
Someone
has
like
four
petabytes
when
there's
three
petabytes,
but
then
I
have
to
modify
the
power
to
scale
it
up
to
to
give
them
proportionate
to
the
amount
that
their
portion
of
the
tree
has,
and
so
I
calculate
a
fill
factor
and
then
I
scale
the
power
up
and
then
what
I
do
is
I
I
selected
this
one.
B
I
hash
that
provider
id
and
it
gives
me
a
you-
can
think
of
it
as
like
points
on
a
circle,
and
then
I
and
then
I
pick
one
of
these
based
on
that.
So
that's
called
consistent
hashing
that
lets
me.
It
means
the
numbers
don't
jump
around
a
lot
as
I
update
the
numbers
over
time.
A
Awesome
thanks
jim
for
for
talking
us
through
that
and,
like
I
know
you
haven't,
you
haven't,
you
know
written
out
documentation,
but
the
examples
and
ui
that
you've
already
built
are,
I
think,
super
compelling
and,
like
you,
can
really
sort
of
dig
into
these
trees
and
see
how
the
algorithm
works,
which
I
think
is,
I
think.
