A
A
A
All
right,
well,
I
think
we're
a
few
minutes
in
so
we
will
get
started
thanks
again
for
everyone
who
is
joining
us
today.
So
we
have
kind
of
an
information
dense
topic
today
and
there's
just
really
a
lot
to
cover.
If
you
are
here,
you
have
probably
been
participating
in
the
slingshot
competition,
maybe
in
phase
one
almost
certainly
in
phase
two,
and
so
we
wanted
to
just
do
a
quick.
A
You
know
reminder
on
the
rules
of
this
phase
of
the
competition
and
how
how
the
competition
is
structured,
we'll
talk
about
how
to
submit
the
final
submissions
for
this
phase
of
the
competition.
As
you
all
know,
today
was
the
rewards
deadline,
so
you
know
all
of
the
deals
that
are
sort
of
being
considered
for
potential
rewards
in
this
period.
All
of
those
had
to
be
submitted
by.
I
think
it
was
1800
utc
today
earlier
today,
and
so
we're
now
in
this
period,
where
we're
asking
you
to
submit
final
submissions.
A
All
right!
So
as
a
reminder,
slingshot
is
a
community
competition
for
storage
clients
and
developers
that
rewards
the
storage
of
real,
valuable
and
usable
data
onto
the
filecoin
mainnet.
This
you
know
we're
we're
no
longer
in
the
space
race
network
in
the
test
net,
so
we're
storing
data
on
the
real
file
coin
main
net.
A
I
believe,
and
over
the
course
of
that
first
month
we
saw
more
than
730
tubby
bites
of
data
on
board
and
onto
the
network.
It
was
really
amazing
there
were
you,
know
more
than
100
teams
that
had
participated
from.
I
think
something
I
don't
remember.
The
exact
number,
I
think
was
around
20
countries
from
around
the
world
and
all
of
these
all
of
these
data
sets
also
had
uis
and
applications
associated
with
them.
So
it
was
just
a
really
really
awesome
kind
of
blockbuster
start
to
this
program.
A
A
So
a
brief
reminder
on
some
of
the
competition
rules
again,
you
know,
because
we've
already
gone
through
the
first
month
of
this
competition.
Many
of
you
may
already
be
familiar
with
this,
but
just
to
remind
you-
because
this
is
kind
of
important
to
keep
in
mind,
as
it
will
factor
into
the
way
that
we
do
final.
A
A
A
So
another
really
important
rule
for
this
phase
of
the
competition
is
that
each
piece
of
data
that
you're
storing
to
the
network
must
be
retrievable
by
literally
anyone
in
the
world.
That's
part
of
the
reason
why
you
know
on
the
slingshot
website
now,
when
you
click
on
a
particular
project
particular
project,
you
can
go
to
the
project
page
and
there's
a
tab
that
has
the
deals
that
are
being
associated
with
a
particular
project.
A
A
You
know
you're
all
doing
this
like
incredible
work
of
storing
this
really
valuable
data
to
the
network,
and
we
now
want
other
people
in
the
ecosystem
and
maybe
even
yourselves,
to
be
able
to
use
that
data
and
build
really
awesome
applications
and
uis
and
explorer
interfaces
for
those
data
sets
and
and
and
in
order
for
people
to
be
able
to
do
that.
They
need
to
be
able
to
retrieve
your
data,
and
so
that
was
like
kind
of
a
key
piece
of
of
this.
A
I
believe
we
have
one
more
slide
of
rules,
but
another
thing
that
can
you
go
back
to
the
previous
slide
jason.
So
the
another
component
here
is
we're
also
asking
folks
to
submit
documentation
for
how
they
processed
and
stored
data
to
the
filecoin
network,
as
well
as
how
anyone
who
wants
to
be
retrieving.
This
data
set
can
retrieve
it
off
of
the
network
as
well
and
there's
some
specific
components
here
that
need
to
be
included
in
your
final
documentation,
submission.
A
And,
as
I
mentioned
before,
in
order
for
folks
to
be
able
to
retrieve
the
data
that
you've
stored,
they
need
some
additional
information
about
the
about
the
particular
files.
So
they
can
actually
like,
read
and
interpret
and
use
the
data
as
well.
So
as
part
of
this
piece
of
the
competition
we're
asking
every
participant
to
maintain
a
list,
essentially
a
csv
that
includes
the
following
fields
that
are
listed
on
the
slide
and
ultimately,
to
upload
that
csv
file
to
the
slingshot
website.
A
A
One
period
here
today
was
the
reward
deadline
for
month
one
and
we
have
the
material
submission
deadline,
which
is
this
upcoming
friday,
at
least
in
from
pacific
time
december,
11th,
2020
and
it
and
the
deadline
is
1800
utc
on
december
11th.
We'll
then
be
judging
the
submissions
that
are
coming
in
next
week
with
the
with
the
synchro
community
review
team
and
then
announcing
the
final
winners
and
and
reaching
out
to
all
participants
with
kind
of
the
final
rewards
determination
around
that
time,
as
well.
A
All
right
so
sort
of
as
a
brief
summary.
What
what
do
you
need
to
worry
about
in
over
the
next
couple
days
is
just
you
know,
make
sure
ensure
that
you
all
of
the
data
that
you
were
storing
or
these
last
few
weeks
and
anything
that
you
store
going
forward
for
the
purposes
of
slingshot
are
data
sets
that
are
from
the
curated
data
set
list.
That's
super
important,
just
double
check
that
I
mean.
A
I
think
you
can't
even
register
really
at
this
point
without
that
being
the
case,
but
just
please
make
sure
that
you
are
indeed
storing.
Data
sets
from
this
list
make
sure
that
your
project
is
registered
at
the
sinkshot
website
and
may
and
all
of
the
data.
If,
if
you
missed
this
deadline
of
today,
no
worries,
like
the
you
know,
december
9th
2020
at
1800
utc.
A
If
you
missed
that
reward
deadline,
no
worries,
as
I
mentioned,
the
competition
is
a
long-running
program,
and
so,
if
you
miss
this
particular
reward
window,
that
data
will
still
count
for
the
next
reward
window.
So
don't
worry
about
that.
Just
keep
storing
the
data
that
you'd
like
to
store,
but
please
make
sure
that
you
are
following
the
slingshot
rules.
Otherwise
it
won't
be
counted
for
the
final
rewards
and
by
december
11th.
A
A
Okay,
so
just
brief
reminder:
these
final
submissions
are
due
december
11th
at
1800,
utc
and
so
what's
included
in
these
final
submissions.
So
the
first
thing
is
this:
the
deal
uploads
the
the
list
that
contain
all
this
additional
information
about
the
deals
that
you
made
that
were
activated
that
are
live
now
on
the
file
point
network
and
that
ultimately,
are
counting
for
your
slingshot
data.
A
Store
storage
totals
so
the
way
that
this
will
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
context
like
the
way
that
this
sort
of
works
on
the
slingshot
website
is
that
we're
looking
at
actual
state
that
exists
on
the
file
queen
blockchain
and
pulling
all
of
the
deals
that
are
that
have
been
activated
on
on
the
network
that
are
associated
with
your
project's
address,
and
so
that
information
is
just
literally
coming
straight
from
the
chain.
So
we've
gotten
a
number
of
questions
from
folks
who
are
asking
questions
like?
A
So
you
need
to
submit
a
csv
upload
to
your
account
on
the
slingshot
website.
If
you
have
already
registered,
if
you've
already
created
an
account
for
this
shot
competition
and
created
a
project
in
the
project
doc
in
the
projects
page
itself,
there
will
be
a
section
that
allows
you.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
no,
this
is
in
the
deals
section.
There
will
be
it
the
ability
for
you
to
upload
a
csv
file
that
contains
more
info
specific
information
about
the
deals
that
you
have
made
associated
with
a
particular
project.
A
That
is
like
kind
of
difficult
to
get
back
out
of
the
chain
if
you
haven't
stored
it
beforehand.
So
this
is
something
that
you
really
should
be
storing.
As
you
know,
in
an
index
as
you
were
making
deals
on
the
network,
you
also
need
to
submit
the
file
name.
That's
associated
with
this
particular
deal
the
file
format
and,
again,
that's
just
so
that
people
when
they're,
trying
to
retrieve
the
data
off
the
network,
they
know
how
to
interpret
it
and
read
it
so
that
they
can
use
it
in
their
own
applications.
A
It's
a
core
piece
of
this
competition,
so
this
is
all
really
important
the
size
of
the
the
the
deal
in
in
bytes,
ideally
when
it
was
stored
and
then
also
which
curated
data
set
this
particular
deal
is,
is
coming
from.
Essentially,
these
specific
instructions
on
the
csv
upload
are
on
the
sing
shot
website.
A
But
the
important
thing
to
remember
here
is
that
you're
only
going
to
get
credit
for
deals
that
have
this
information
submitted.
So
you
know
there
may
be
a
bit
of
work
required
in
going
through
and
making
sure
that
you
have
all
of
this
information
and
assembling
it
so
to
be
consider
it
can
be
submitted
to
the
website.
A
Okay,
so
oops
there's
a
bit
of
a
paste
artifact
here,
but
the
next
piece
of
the
final
submissions
is
the
documentation,
and
so
we
briefly
touched
base
on
these
rules
here.
The
first
was
that
all
the
data
that
you're
storing
to
the
network
must
be
retrievable
by
anyone
in
the
world
and
also
that,
in
order
to
be
eligible
for
rewards,
you
need
to
submit
data,
storage
and
retrieval
documentation.
A
So,
specifically,
you
know
we're
basically
looking
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
how
your
process
these
data
sets
are,
in
many
cases
very
large.
They
are
structured
really
differently,
like
many
of
them
may
have
directories
of
very
small
files.
Many
of
them
may
contain
really
large
files.
You
know
it's
just
kind
of
every
data
set
looks
different.
A
The
use
case
for
each
data
set
looks
different
as
well,
and
so
we
want
to
get
a
little
bit
of
a
peek
into
your
thought
process
for
how
you
approached
storing
this
data
on
the
network
such
that
it
could
be
used
by
others
and
then
so.
That's
kind
of
the
on
the
storage
documentation
side
on
the
retrieval
documentation
side.
We
you've
again
done
all
this
work
to
store
this
data
on
the
network.
A
That's
really
valuable
work
and
we
want
to
make
sure
it
can
go
as
far
as
possible
in
terms
of
adding
value
to
this
community,
so
the
retrieval
documentation,
really,
if
as
you're
putting
this
together,
think
about
this
from
the
perspective
of
like
someone,
someone
in
the
world
who
maybe
doesn't
have
a
huge
amount
of
context
on
your
use
case
but
wants.
But
like
is
excited
by
the
data
set
you
you
have
stored
and
they
want
to
be
able
to
use
it
for
their
own
application.
A
A
Awesome
so
that's
kind
of
like
the
description
of
rules.
How
we're
thinking
about
the
final
submissions
and
I'll
pass
it
over
to
the
nation
who's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
to
actually
go
through
registration
and
just
all
the
steps
of
like
actually
participating
in
the
competition
as
well
as
a
demo.
A
B
Perfect
and
like
we
just
said,
the
you've
done
a
lot
of
the
work
already
for
the
first
part
of
phase
two.
We
want
to
make
sure
you
get
credit
for
the
for
the
work
you've
done
and
register
properly,
so
that
those
deals
and
data
sets
are
counted
and
available.
So
so,
as
many
of
you
know,
we
actually
have
improved
our
registration
process.
You
can
log
in
through
your
github
account
and
set
up
your
profile
accordingly,.
B
B
B
Here
and
the
project
that
I'm
going
to
demo
here
is
the
data
set
from
the
new
york
taxi,
the
tlc
ride,
information
for
the
city
of
new
york
and
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
add
the
description
there
go
ahead
and
add
the
file
coin
slack
handle
and
I'm
going
to
choose
the
new
york
city
trip
record
data.
Again,
you
can
choose
more
than
one
curated
data
set.
B
We
also
have
a
section
down
at
the
bottom
like
puja
mentioned
around.
How
did
you
store
your
data
and
how
did
you
retrieve
your
data?
So
we
actually
have
an
editor
directly
in
the
submission
tool.
Here
we
can
go
ahead,
I'm
just
going
to
copy
some
of
the
some
information
from
that
I
prepared
beforehand
here
and
and
again,
this
is
actually
for
others
who
want
to
reuse
the
data
that
you've
stored
in
the
file
coin
network.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
format
it
a
little
bit
nicer
again.
Quality
is
important.
B
Display
the
the
data
structure
and
the
directory
structure
of
how
I'm
staring
data
into
file
coin
so
for
for
each
year
we
actually
have
information
broken
up
by
months.
We've
got
different
taxi
types
and
in
csv
format
I've
actually
mentioned
that
we're
actually
I'm
using
a
standard.
Tar
and
gzip
structure
types
are
indicated
below
and
we
have
links
to
the
very
top
in
terms
of
the
data
source
where
it's
from
the
user
guide
for
this
data
and
so
forth,
and
so
on,
and
so
and
then
from
a
retrieval
perspective.
B
B
So
there's
an
update
product
link
at
the
bottom.
If
you
need
to
update
your
documentation
or
update
any
other
information
as
part
of
your
project,
the
next
thing
we
want
to
do
is
actually
add
our
addresses
to
make
sure
that
the
information
or
the
deals
that
we
provided
are
included
in
this
particular
project
and
you
get
appropriate
credit
for
that.
So
the
ability
to
add.
B
B
Here
I
have
some
wallet
addresses
for
the
first
project,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
add
an
address
for
the
second
project.
In
order
to
submit
an
address.
We
ask
for
two
things:
we
ask
for
the
particular
address
itself,
as
well
as
a
signature
based
on
the
message
provided
here.
So
it's
relatively
straightforward,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
paste
my
address
and
signature
as.
B
Well
and
it'll
instantly
verify
it
assuming
the
signature
is
correct,
based
on
the
address
that
you
provided
so
relatively
straightforward
and
then
the
last
step
we
want
to
do
is
again
before
the
deadline
on
submissions.
We
want
to
provide
a
csv,
as
puja
mentioned,
for
all
the
deals
as
part
that
are
part
of
this
project.
So
in
this
case
I
have
two
products.
I
have
a
test
products
that
I
did
earlier.
I
have
the
slingshot
taxi
example
project.
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
upload
the
slingshot
taxi
example.
B
B
B
And
so
you
should,
and
so
like
we
mentioned
earlier,
we're
validating
the
csv
headers
are
correct,
the
deals
are
are
matched
and
then
and
verifying
that
the
addresses
are
corresponding
to
that
deal.
So
I
may
have
an
issue
with
the
address
and
the
deal
corresponding
to
my
in
the
product
that
I
just
did.
But
this
is
what
a
successful
result
looks
like
for
for
deals
that
are
submitted
for
a
particular
project.
A
Awesome
thanks
finish
a
great
demo.
Let's
see
so
I
think
with
that.
Hopefully,
that
gives
you
a
better
sense
of
kind
of
how
the
flow
works
and
where
some
of
the
the
pieces
are
for
you
to
submit
your
final
submissions.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
So
in
this
period
we
have
two
categories
of
prizes
and
it's
very
similar
to
phase
slingshot
phase
one.
So
in
this
period
there
will
be
a
set
of
storage
rewards
that
are
that
are
distributed
to
participants
and
just
wanted
to
say.
A
Of
course,
you
know
like
we're
having
this
conversation
because
awesome
job,
unlocking
yet
another
milestone
in
this
period,
and
so
you
know
because
we
crossed
the
one
peppy
byte
threshold,
another
50,
000,
fill
pool,
reward
pool
has
been
unlocked
and
that's
what
we
will
be
distributing
in
in
this
next
period
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
also
have
a
set
of
booster
rewards.
So
if-
and
this
is
essentially
like
a
just
thank
you
for
participating
in
this
competition
and
doing
this
great
work
to
store
valuable
data
to
the
network.
A
So
if
you
store,
if
you
follow
the
rules,
the
slingshot
rules
and
you
store
more
than
50
gibby
bytes
of
new
data
in
this
reward
window,
which
again
is
from
october
28th
through
december
9th
you'll,
receive
a
10
file
coin
booster
prize.
It's
kind
of
just
a
little
bit
bonus
of
a
bonus
on
top
of
whatever
other
storage
rewards
that
you
will
be
receiving.
A
Okay,
could
you
could
you,
I
think
we
maybe
skipped
one
get.
You
back
go
backside
okay,
so
there
are
a
few
different
components
to
the
final
review
and
judging
process.
The
first
is
documentation,
so
the
community
review
team
will
be
doing
a
review
of
the
documentation
that
you
submit,
and
there
are
a
few
different
categories
that
folks
will
generally
be
looking
for.
So
the
first
of
these
is
comprehensibility.
A
Basically,
what
this
means
to
us
is
just
you
know:
does
the
documentation
make
sense?
Is
it
readable?
Is
it
generally
like
a
reasonable
process,
an
approach
that
was
sort
of
taken?
It
should
be
something
that
seems
like
generally
aligned
with
what,
with
the
spirit
of
the
competition,
what
we're
all
here
to
do
so,
there's
kind
of
just
like
a
basic
binary.
Was
this
check
for
like
the
comprehensibility
of
the
actual
documentation
as
submitted?
There
will
be
another
component
as
well.
A
That
is
taking
a
look
at
the
the
thoughtfulness
that
is,
that
each
project
took
in
its
architecture
and
how
how
you
may
have
approached
the
actual
story.
You
know
pre-processing
of
data,
an
actual
storage
process
and
so
on,
as
well
as
the
actual
documentation
itself.
You
know
this
is
an
open
source
community.
This
sort
of
documentation
is
extremely
valuable.
A
A
The
fourth
category
is
the
usefulness
of
this
documentation
for
others,
and
the
community
review
team
will
sort
of
be
reviewing
this
as
actual
users
of
the
documentation
we'll
actually
be
using
it
ourselves.
To
kind
of
you
know
retrieve
some
of
this
data
back
off
of
the
network.
Try
to
use
some
of
the
tools
that
are
listed
in
the
documentation
and
and
see
like
does
this
documentation
actually
work,
and
so
there's
kind
of
this
like
usefulness,
component
and
related
to
that
as
well.
What
I
just
mentioned
is:
are
these
ideas
of
reproducibility
and
retrievability?
A
So
if
someone
were
to
take
the
steps
you
took
to
store
this
curated
data
set
to
the
filecoin
network,
would
that
work
if
they
were
to
just
follow
your
documentation
for
storage
and
then
on
the
retrieval
side?
Can
anyone
in
the
world
use
the
your
documentation
and
the
other
information
that's
available
on
the
slingshot
website
to
retrieve
the
data
that
you've
stored,
read
it
interpret
it
and
ultimately
use
it
for
their
own
applications?.
A
Even
though
you
know
miners
are
the
ones
serving
the
data
back
participants,
since
competition
are
rewarded
for
storing
data
in
a
retrievable
way.
So
that's
that's
something.
That's
like
really
important,
so
we're
going
to
try
to
retrieve
the
data
if
it
can't
be
retrieved
for,
for
whatever
reason,
that's
not
great.
So
you
know
that's
like
one
thing,
we'll
sort
of
be
keeping
track
of
if
the
data
cannot
actually
be
interpreted
and
sort
of
read
and
used
according
to
what
you've
mentioned
in
your
documentation.
A
That's
also
something
that,
like
you,
know,
makes
the
the
data
not
usable
by
others
in
the
ecosystem,
so
that's
also
something
that
can
potentially
reduce
your
final
rewards
and
then,
of
course
like
if
the
data
that
is
retrieved
doesn't
really
doesn't
match.
The
curated
data
set
that's
kind
of
like
a
violation
of
of
the
sunshot
rule.
A
And
so
you
know
there
were
a
couple
of
rules
that
I
mentioned
before
about,
like
being
you
know,
storing
data
with
your
own
minor,
making
sure
that
you're
not
storing
more
than
10
copies
of
the
particular
data
and
other
things
like
that.
So
we'll
generally
be
reviewing
for
for
this
as
well.
It's
kind
of
hard
to
enumerate
every
single
thing
that
that
we'll
sort
of
just
be
checking
for,
but
again,
if
you're
following
the
rules,
you
don't
need
to
worry
about
this.
A
A
So
there's
a
for
this
period,
there's
a
50,
000
file,
coin
prize
pool
and
we'll
start
by
looking
at
you
know,
kind
of
what
each
team
deserves
based
on
their
proportional
amount
of
data
that
they
stored
as
a
portion
of
as
a
proportion
of
the
total
amount
of
data
that
was
stored
in
this
particular
period.
And
then
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
can
adjust
that
number,
that
amount
of
like
rewards
up
or
down.
A
So
the
first
thing
is,
you
know,
we'll
be
counting
data
for
only
the
deals
that
have
a
matching
that
have
matching
information
in
the
csv
upload.
So
if
you,
if
you
don't
have
like
the
file
name
for
a
particular
deal
or
things
like
that,
that's
not
going
to
be
counted
for
that
particular
deal.
Won't
count
for
your
final
rewards,
also
if
the
documentation
is
off
in
any
way
that
can
also
reduce
the
final
reward
amounts.
A
If
the
deals
are
unretrievable
or
there's
some
like
issue
there,
that
can
also
reduce
the
final
amounts
for
teams
that
are
sort
of,
like
you
know,
violating
the
rules.
You
won't
be
eligible
for
rewards
in
this
period,
which
kind
of
makes
sense,
I
think,
and
then
for
teams
that
are
just
have
done
really
outstanding
work.
A
In
this
period
we
would
love
to
boost
rewards
as
well
so
like
this
is
kind
of
discretionary,
just
based
on
like
if
people
just
have
really
amazing
documentation
or
we've
seen
people
really
helping
each
other
out
in
the
community,
and
things
like
that.
That
can
also
like
flex
the
rewards
upwards
too.
A
A
All
right-
and
so
because
you
know
this-
this
competition
is
kind
of
an
interesting
structure,
so
we
have
finished
month
one
of
this,
of
like
slingshot
now
for
like
this
next
phase
and
we're
just
rolling
ahead.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
some
brief
pointers
because
we're
already
kind
of
in
like
the
next
reward
window
for
this
competition,
we
will
be
resetting
the
counter
for
month,
two
very
shortly,
just
so
that
you
can
start
to
see
like
what
your
totals
are.
A
Looking
like
as
you're
storing
data
for
this
next
period,
and
so
that's
you
know
something
to
look
forward
to,
I
think.
In
addition,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
changes
that
will
likely
be
coming
soon
to
slingshot.
One
thing
that
you
should
already
start
thinking
about
for
the
month
two
rewards
is
that
we're
basically
looking
for
all
participants
to
maintain
their
data
on
the
network
for
at
least
a
year.
So
I
think
previously
there
wasn't.
A
A
Ideally
we'd
want
to
store
them
on
the
network
forever,
but
you
know
it's
hard
to
do
that
with
falcon
today,
given
that
deals
have
a
maximum
lifetime
of
540
days,
but
anyways
we'd
love
for
you
know
it's
it's
now
kind
of
a
rule
that
all
data
that
is
being
stored
on
the
network
must
must
have
like
a
one
year,
minimum
deal
duration
and
also,
please
make
sure
to
to
choose
good
miners.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
about
this.
A
Definitely
happy
to
talk
about
that
in
the
q,
a
like
how
to
approach
this
but
choose
good
miners
who
will
work
with
you
in
storing
data
for
like
the
full
duration
of
the
deal
and
then
another
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
briefly
as
well.
We'll
have
way
more
information
about
this
in
2021,
but
we're
going
to
introduce
a
hack
track
to
this
competition,
which
is
essentially
a
long-running
hackathon.
A
Many
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
hack,
fs
and
or
other
you
know,
hackathons
that
have
existed
in
the
file,
clean
ecosystem,
and
so
we're
super
excited
about
this.
But
you
know
this
is
why
we're
placing
such
an
emphasis
on
the
reusability
and
retrievability
of
the
data
that
you're
storing,
because
we
would
love
to
be
able
to
host
hackathons
around
these,
like
incredibly
valuable
data
sets
for
the
world
and
have
people
be
able
to
build
on
the
data
that
has
already
been
stored.
A
So
that's
something
to,
I
think,
also
to
look
forward
to
in
2021
and
we'll
have
a
lot
more
information
about
that
in
january,
and
then
the
last
note
is
that
you
should.
I
think
many
folks
are
already
sort
of
tracking
this,
but
the
file
queen
plus
program,
which
is
the
verified
client
program
for
the
filecoin
network,
is
currently
in
beta,
and
I
think
that's
something
especially
as
we
think
about
you
know.
How
do
you
think
about
choosing
good
miners
and
making
storage
deals
that
will
last
on
the
network?
A
This
is
something
I
think
that
everyone
in
this
competition
should
be
considering
looking
into
and
there's
you
know
it's
in
beta,
there's
there's
like
still
a
process,
that's
kind
of
being
worked
out
for
this
particular
program,
but
especially
in
2021.
This
is
something
that
I
think
will
be
in
full
swing
and
slingshot
participants
can
take
advantage
of
all
right
over
to
jason.
C
So
I
do
ask
that
you
use
the
slingshot
website
to
make
sure
you
have
all
the
update
information
on
dates
times
and
registration
links,
but
for
the
most
part
this
is
what
it
will
look
like.
We
would.
We
want
to
have
four
office
hours
a
month,
so
we'll
do
two
lotus
and
two
textile,
and
both
these
are
really
good
opportunity
to
come
in
and
actually
talk
to,
someone
answer.
Your
questions
live
and
we
for
textile
we
bring
in
the
ceo
andrew
hill
and
he's
there
to
answer
your
questions
and
lotus.
C
C
So
again,
these
are
all
events
or
these
are
all
listed
on
sunshot.filecoin.io
events
and
there
you
can
find
all
the
information
that
you
need
to
to
join
in
on
these
back
to
you,
okay
support,
so
the
events
are
a
great
way
to
get
support
if
you're
able
to
attend
them,
but
unfortunately,
with
time
zones
and
and
other
things
it's
hard
to
to
attend
them.
So
we
do
have
different
channels
for
you
to
ask
questions
and
get
support.
C
C
If
you
have
specific
technical
questions
around
lotus
or
filecoin,
we
ask
that
you
use
phil,
help,
fill
storage,
dev
or
phil
lodus
and
again
the
lotus
team.
Is
there
the
follow
coin?
This
filecoin
team
is
there
as
well
and
always
available
to
answer
your
questions
and
if
your
project
is
using
textile,
we
have
channels
for
that.
So
there's
powergate
users
and
buckets
users
so
similar
to
the
lotus
one.
The
textile
team
is
there
in
those
channels
and
ready
to
answer
your
questions
and
they're,
always
very
good
with
that.
C
So
next
we
have
github
discussions,
and
this
is
relatively
new
for
us,
but
we're
going
to
populate
a
lot
of
common
questions
that
we're
getting
around
slingshot
and
we're
going
to
answer
them
directly
in
those
so
another
great
resource
for
you.
If,
if
you
feel
like
you,
may
you
may
have
a
common
question
that
it
may
already
be
answered
there
and,
finally,
you
can
always
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
us
through
email,
so
slingshot
filecoin.io
we're
always
there
to
answer
your
questions
or
direct
you
to
the
right
person.
A
C
A
A
But
if
it
is
a
directory
or
if
something
like
this,
you
know
you
just
make
sure
that
you
indicate
in
the
file
format
that
it's
a
directory
and
so
that
we
know
that
it's
we're
not
expecting
like
a
single
file
that
we
should
be
able
to
open
and
also
please
make
sure
that
in
the
retrieval
documentation,
you're
sort
of
as
the
niche
kind
of
showed.
One
example
right.
A
That
was
in
the
storage
documentation
of
how
the
generally
like
the
files,
the
the
deals
were
being
constructed
like
what
was
all
of
the
data
that
was
associated
with
a
particular
deal.
How
were
the?
How
was
the
data
set
split
into
like
various
deals,
so
just
make
sure
that
in
your
documentation,
you're,
including
that
type
of
information,
so
that
we
can
actually
like
the
sing
review
team,
but
also
just
anyone
in
the
community
can
actually
retrieve
the
data
and
use
it.
A
Which
is,
is
the
booster
award
per
address
per
project
or
per
person?
The
booster
award
is
per
project,
okay
and
then
will
the
final
rewards
be
disclosed
like
last
time.
I
think,
for
this
period
they
will
also
they
will
be
undisclosed
just
like
phase
one.
We
can
revisit
that
in
future
periods,
but
for
now
they
will
they
will
be
undisclosed.
A
There's
also
a
question
about.
I
have
big
data
sets
more
than
32
gigabytes
per
file,
so
I
had
to
split,
but
due
to
the
low
success
rate
of
deal
making
some
of
the
pieces
never
made
it
to
the
file
coin
network.
I
plan
to
continue
to
make
deals
in
the
future
phases,
but
I
want
to
know
if
there's
any
penalty,
if
a
piece
is
missing
in
a
particular
phase.
A
So
this
is
an
interesting
question.
I
think,
as
long
as
the
as
long
as
the
data's
still
retrievable,
I
don't
know,
because
I
I'm
not
sure
if,
like
the
file,
if
that
that
chunk,
the
32
gig
chunk,
which
is
less
than
the
size
of
the
overall
file,
can
still
be
used
in
any
particular
way.
But
if
it
can't
be,
then
it
kind
of
means
that,
like
the
data
that
you're
starting
to
network
is
not
really
usable
by
others,
so
this
may
be
something
it's
a
little
hard
to
say.
A
A
When
that
deal,
that
file
can
be
holistically,
retrieved
from
the
final
coin
network
and
actually
used,
because
I
think
if
you
were
to
kind
of
submit
the
final
submissions
today
like
the
data
is
not
if,
if
the
data
is
not
usable,
if
like
the
way
that
the
files
have
been
chunked
makes
it
and
if
pieces
are
missing
like
makes
it
so
that
the
files
aren't
actually
usable.
That
means
that
people
can't
use
the
data.
So
hopefully
that
answers
the
question
but
yeah.
A
Definitely
let
us
know
if
that
needs
more
clarification
and
then
there's
a
question
here
about
confused
about
the
rewards
tier.
Does
every
phase
count
the
storage
amount
from
zero,
or
is
it
cumulative
okay,
so
yeah?
So
it's
a
good
question.
I
think
it's
like
not
super
clear
right
now
on
the
website,
but
basically
the
way
that
this
works
is
that
we
take
a
snapshot
at
each
rewards
deadline
and
look
at
the
total
amount
that
has
been
stored
since
the
beginning
of
the
slingshot
competition.
A
A
B
B
However,
if
there
are
reasons
you
may
consider
submitting
it
for
future
periods,
when
the
data
is
available
and
and
keep
those
deals,
if
they're
not
available
at
this
stage,
but
we
really
want
to
reward
teams
that
have
actually
provide
useful
data
that
others
can
start
retrieving
and
benefit
from.
As
far
as
in
the
spirit
of
the
competition,
so
peter
asks
it's
been
tough
to
make
deals
in
the
past
few
weeks
for
a
number
of
reasons,
including
very
high
gas
fees.
B
B
One
of
the
reasons
why
we
wanted
to
have
a
long-running
competition
is
so
that
teams
will
be
rewarded
and
if
there's
a
bump
in
the
road
in
the
long
term,
those
those
bumps
are
smoothed
over
and
teams
will
get
rewarded
for
the
data
that
they're
storing
in
the
network.
If
you
don't
get
on
the
net,
if
you
aren't
able
to
make
a
deal
today,
you
know
you
still
have
time
to
try
it
for
tomorrow
there
will
be
future
reward
periods.
There
will
be
future
deals
and
so
forth.
B
So
we
we
kind
of
acknowledge
that
that's
happening,
there's
work.
That's
that's
happening
to
make
that
better,
probably
a
little
bit
early
to
communicate
anything
additional
to
that,
but
I
think
the
the
effort
that
you're
making
as
a
participant
is
really
really
valuable
and
and
appreciated
and
and
by
by
reporting
these
issues
we
actually
are
able
to.
You
know
help
make
the
network
better,
so
patrick
asks.
At
present,
I
only
registered
relevant
product
information
due
to
the
machine
I
haven't,
store,
started
storing
it
until
now,
this
month's
game
is
over.
B
B
Is
that
if
you're
not
able
to
meet
this
particular
deadline,
there
are
future
deadlines,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
rewards
still
ongoing
in
future
periods,
and
so
I
think
that's
that
should
be
fine.
If
I
understood
the
question
correctly
so
so,
keep
on
storing
data
like
puja
mentioned
the
second
period
is
already
underway
as
of
a
few
hours
ago.
So
there's
no
kind
of
pausing.
B
B
How
to
find
minors
accepting
deals?
Currently,
I
can
maybe
find
five
miners
out
of
700..
I
think
this
is
a
evolving
component
at
this
stage
right.
So
I
have
seen
recently
in
the
slingshot
channel
that
jason
mentioned
that
there
are
miners.
Communicating
pooja
mentioned
the
falcon
plus
program
as
well,
which
actually
also
provides
additional
incentives
for
miners
to
accept
deals.
So
I
think
it's
a
collaborative
effort
if
you
do
find
something
that's
working
share
with
the
community.
B
I
think
others
in
the
community
have
jumped
in,
and
so
others
have
ideas
in
addition
to
pl
about
where
to
find
these,
these
miners
or
or
how
they
can
participate
in
slingshot
as
well.
So
so
no
specific
advice
in
that
direction,
but
I
think,
as
as
file
coin
plus
gets
as
people
apply
for
data
cap
for
falcon
plus.
I
think
that
will
start
unlocking
some
of
these
things.
I
think
ashlingshot
gains
a
little
bit
of
momentum.
I
think
miners
will
start
start
be.
B
A
Alrighty,
well,
I
think
that
may
be
all
the
questions
for
now
yeah.
Well,
thank
you
so
much
to
everyone
for
attending
and
where
this
session
was
recorded
and
we'll
definitely
post
it
online.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
participating
in
this
program
and
for
doing
all
of
this
amazing
work
to
make
the
file
clean
network
great.
We
are
available
on
the
various
channels
that
jason
mentioned,
and
so,
if
there's
anything,
that's
kind
of
still
on
your
mind
after
this
call,
definitely
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out.
