All
right
welcome
everyone

and
today
we
have
a
full
agenda.
We
have
five
amazing
presenters
that
are
going
to
talk
to
us
about
accelerated
programs,
incubation
centers
and
some
amazing
tooling.
So
let's
do
let's
walk
through
the
agenda
for
today.
First
of
all,
we
have
techstars
accelerator
program
presented
by
isaac,
cato
who's,
the
md
at
techstars,
who
will
be
talking
to
us
about
the
latest
accelerator
program.
B
So
please,
if
you're
looking
to
apply
for
any
of
the
startup
accelerated
programs,
have
a
look
at
the
techstars
accelerator
program
and
then
second,
a
new
accelerated
program.
That's
driven
by
the
picnic
team
specifically
focused
on
enabling
storage
providers.
So
if
you
are
the
storage
provider,
that's
looking
to
accelerate
your
business

to
what
we

third,
we'll
have
cid
gravity.
B
So
julian
noel
who's
going
to
walk
us
through
a
storage
provider
tool
that
helps
you
set
price
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
more
things
I'll.
Let
him
do
the
introduction
and
and
walk
you
through
the
tool,
but
really
important
for
you
to
to
run
your
storage
provider
system.
Fourth,
we
have
textile.
Andrew
hill
is
joining
us
to
talk
more
about
the
falcon
auction,
so
we've
been
running
an
auction
for
storage
providers
to
take
deals
and
he's
going
to
walk
us
through
sort
of
like
that.
B
The
findings
of
that
a
very
interesting
storage
stack
or
a
textile
stack
that
that
you
should
know
of
if,
if
you
are
a
storage
provider
and
then
last
but
not
least,
the
venus
storage
provider
incubation
center.
This
is
our
second
round
some
updates
from
josh,
specifically
on
this
next
cohort
and
also
some
other
updates
that
venus
brings
to
market.
So,
let's
start
with
techstart
isaac,
the
floor
is
yours.
I'll
stop
sharing,
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
the
accelerate
program.
C
C
I've
also
been
a
vc
for
about
a
decade
and
I've
been
a
long
time.
Angel
investor
and
my
own
introduction
to
the
crypto
space
goes
back
to
2013.
When
I,
when
I
brought
the
bitcoin
miners
to
the
green
data
center
that
I
had
founded
in
iceland
and
for
a
while,
we
had
a
tremendous
you
know
we
had,
I
think
at
one
point
we
we
estimated
that
we
had
five
percent
of
the
global
mining
capacity
in
our
data
center.
C
C
The
thing
that
we
ultimately
offer
founders
is
dramatically
increased
odds
of
success
in
your
entrepreneurial
pursuits.
We
have
done
a
great
job
at
helping
the
now.
Thousands
of
companies
that
have
gone
through
the
program
raise
a
ton
of
money
now
north
of
16
billion.
Actually
we
have
15
unicorns
and
they've
done
quite
well,
but
they
also
tend
to
do
it's
not
just
sort
of
the
cream
of
the
crop
that
does
well,
but
we
really
help.
You
know
a
lot
of
our
companies
find
success.
So
of
the.
C
If
I
look
at
the
seattle
program,
which
has
been
going
for
15
years
now,
sorry
12
years
now,
you
know
75
of
the
companies
that
have
gone
through
about
120
companies
are
either
still
in
business
or
have
successfully
exited.
So
we
we
really
do
a
nice
job
at
helping
companies
that
go
through
our
program
find
find
their
way.
C
D
C
We
do
it
so
we
are
a
mentor
driven
program.
One
of
the
first
things
we
do
when
you
come
into
the
program
is
we
we
get.
You
lined
up
with
typically
three
to
five
lead
mentors
and
the
mentor
pools
tend
to
be
super
high
quality
folks
who
will
work
with
you
on
a
dedicated
basis
throughout
the
program
and
oftentimes
beyond.
C
We
unequivocally
blow
up
your
networks,
and
I
always
tell
people
this
is
a
rare
chance
in
your
life
to
expand
your
investor
partner,
customer
potential,
employee
networks
by
10x,
if
not
100x,
but
you
have
exposure
to
a
huge
number
of
people
from
which
again
to
help
you
drive
success,
there's
certainly
a
ton
of
education,
there's
a
ton
of
camaraderie
with
your
cohort
mates.
The
people
who
go
through
the
programs
together
tend
to
wind
up
being
close
friends
for
years
and
years,
and
it's
a
very
rich
entrepreneurial
experience.
C
It's
also
worth
pointing
out
that,
while
the
hallmark
of
our
programs
tends
to
be
our
our
13-week
accelerator
program,
once
you're
in
techstars
you're
a
member
of
techstars
for
life-
and
you
have
access
to
the
network
for
as
long
as
you
want
to
have
access
to
the
network
and
and
and
you'll
find
a
whole
bunch
of
both
conventional
web
2
entrepreneurs.
But
even
before
the
file
coin
program,
a
number
of
crypto
companies
have
gone
through
the
techstars
program
and
done
quite
well.
C
So
that's
a
little
at
the
high
level.
What
we
do
so
the
file
coin
accelerator
is,
is
great
for
anybody
who
is
who
is
building
on
file
coin
in
ipfs,
and
what
what
you
get
out
of
this
program
is
a
marriage
of
the
best
of
a
traditional
techstars
mentor
driven
accelerator,
where
we
really
help
you
find
that
zero
to
one
success,
but
also
the
network,
experience
and
ecosystems
of
protocol
labs
and
file
coins.
C
So
when
you
come
into
this
specially
crafted
accelerator,
not
only
will
you
get
our
traditional
mentors
who
might
be
good
at
fundraising
or
customer
discovery
or
go
to
market
product
development
and
entrepreneurial
leadership?
You'll?
Also
get
a
ton
of
mentorship
and
network
exposure
to
a
number
of
sort
of
web3
and
blockchain
crypto
specific
topics
like
tokenization
token
design,
all
the
all
this
special
legal
and
jurisdictional
questions
that
come
up
with
with
crypto
and
certainly
how
to
build
with
various
web
3
architectures
and
then
certainly
filecoin
and
ipfs.
C
E
C
We
have
an
awesome
team
to
help
support
you
on
your
way,
both
the
the
techsource
team
here,
the
company-
I
should
say
the
program
is
based
in
seattle,
but
we
run
on
a
hybrid,
remote,
optional
basis,
so
we
are
recruiting
globally
and
you
can
participate
in
the
program
from
wherever
you
are
in
the
world.
We
have
a
ton
of
experience
now
running
fully
remote
programs,
and
all
that
said,
if
you
want
space,
we
have
a
great
co-working
space
here
in
seattle
and
we
have
a
great
team
to
support
you,
but
of.
D
C
As
network
catalysts
and
again,
if
you
want
access
to
this
ecosystem,
I
can't
think
of
a
better
place
to
come
really.
Generally
speaking,
the
program
runs
for
13
weeks,
the
first
in
the
first
third
of
it.
We
really
work
hard
on
making
sure
that
you
get
lined
up
with
terrific
mentors
and
figure
out
what
you
want
to
accomplish
during
the
program.
We,
we
certainly
give
you
plenty
of
time
to
actually
run
your
company
and
we-
and
I
should
point
out
this-
is
not
startup
school
at
techstar.
C
You
know,
ideally
we
we
do
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
training
you
about
how
to
be
a
great
fundraiser,
and
you
know
I
myself
have
raised
200
million
dollars
for
my
companies
along
the
ways
along
the
way,
and
there
are
a
whole
bunch
of
other
people
who
will
give
you
guidance
on
how
to
do
it,
both
through
traditional
equity,
fundraising
as
well
as
through
more
modern.
You
know
token
issuances
and
crypto
processes.
C
E
C
C
It
applications
are
open
now
so
we'd
love
to
see
you
apply
I'll
I'll
put
up
the
the
link
soon.
But
if
you
just
do
a
search
for
the
filecoin
techstars
accelerator
you'll
see
a
link
for
both
office
hours
and
we're
happy
to
chat
with
you,
as
well
as
the
the
application,
so
actually
the
the
applications
close
enough
in
a
couple
weeks.
So
we
encourage
you
to
get
going
on
those
certainly
reach
out
directly.
C
If
you
have
any
questions
about
the
program
program
itself
will
run
from
march
21st
through
june
16th,
and
but
again
it
doesn't.
You
know,
your
relationship
with
techstars
is
only
starting
as
you
as
you
exit
the
program,
and
so
here's
where
you
can
apply
there's
my
email
address.
If
you
want
to
send
me
any
questions,
I've
also
put
stefan
here
as
to
funds.
My
day-to-day
counterpart
in
in
running
this
program
and
he'll
be
actively
involved,
and
that
is
about
it.
C
B
B
If
you're
building
a
business
as
isaac
said
on
top
of
falcoin
moving
from
building
applications
and
businesses
on
top
of
falcorn,
let's
move
to
becoming
an
infrastructure
provider
to
the
fallborn
network.
With
me,
we
have
stuart
berman
and
john
lee.
Let's
see
here
there
we
go
perfect,
so
yeah.
So
this
is
an
interesting
accelerated
program.
This
is
a
new,
a
new
one.
So
please,
let's,
let's
give
us
some
give
us
an
update
here
and
what
you
guys
have
to
offer
amazing.
F
Thank
you.
Stefan
first
of
all,
I
I
want
to
mention-
and
I
want
to
thank
our
sponsors,
picnic
protocol,
labs
and
seagate
for
helping
us
stand
this
program
up.
Espa
is
something
we
believe
is
gonna
bring
a
lot
of
value
to
the
filecoin
network.
My
name
is
stuart.
Berman.
I've
been
in
I.t
a
long
time
for
more
than
25
years,
primarily
in
the
manufacturing
sector.
F
F
We
have
put
sensors
on
everything
you
might
have
heard
the
term
iot
or
industrial
internet
of
things
and
in
manufacturing
you're,
seeing
this
just
explode
in
terms
of
how
we're
putting
sensors
and
actuators
on
things
we're
gathering
just
tremendous
amounts
of
data.
At
this
point-
and
this
is
what's
happening
around
the
whole
world-
it's
really
the
next
version
of
of
of
how
enterprises
how
industry
is,
is
digitizing
and
expecting
to
get
a
lot
of
value
out
of
their
systems
and
those
that
are
doing
it
are
finding
finding
extreme
value.
F
What's
going
on,
you
know,
if
you
look
at
like
let's
say
the
automobile
is
an
example:
you'd
have
a
gas
gauge
to
tell
you
how
much
fuel
you
have
in
your
car
you'd
have
an
odometer
that
tells
you
how
far
you've
traveled
but
the
intelligence
from
that
little
bit
of
data
right.
There
could
be
calculated
to
tell
you
more
things
like
how
much
how
much
is
left
in
your
tank.
You
know
how
many
more
miles
you
have
where's
the
next
gas
station.
F
F
Well,
if
you
take
an
exabyte
and
you
multiply
it
by
1024,
that's
a
zettabyte,
and
so
at
45,
zettabytes
and
growing.
You
can
imagine
the
need
for
storage.
In
fact,
that
figure
is
supposed
to
double
every
two
years,
so
we're
looking
at
in
a
few
years
to
have
200
zettabytes
and
then
a
few
few
years
later,
you
know
we're
going
to
go
into
the
yada
byte
range.
F
Most
of
this
data
is
coming
from
really
machine
output.
It's
not
necessarily
people
going
to
facebook,
you
know
or
or
twitter
and
and
generating
the
content.
Although
you
know,
if
you
look
at
like
facebook,
I
think
last
year
they
generated
like
one
and
a
half
exabytes,
which
sounds
like
a
lot.
It
is
a
lot,
but
compared
to
the
zettabytes
being
collected,
it's
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket,
so
we're
seeing
really
machines
generating
all
this
data.
F
F
With
this
avalanche
of
data
that
we've
got,
the
real
question
becomes
how
to
store
it,
but
now
not
just
to
store
it.
Consider
that
this
is
what
we
consider
enterprise
grade
data,
it's
it's
not
something
that
will
be
thrown
away.
It's
something
that
needs
to
be
preserved.
It
needs
to
be
handled
properly.
F
We
see
organizations
taking
this
and
monetizing
this
on
a
regular
basis.
In
fact,
a
lot
of
organizations
now
are
asking
themselves.
You
know
somebody
who's
been
involved
in
it.
How
do
we
monetize
this
data?
Simple
examples?
Examples
we're
all
familiar
with.
Are
companies
like
netflix
right
that
were
able
to
capture
the
their
data
of
their
users
and
then
actually
produce
and
create
films
and
other?
You
know
other
content
from
that
data,
knowing
that
they
would
be
successful
even
before
these
projects
fully
launched.
F
F
We're
also,
including
in
this
list
those
people
who
are
partners
of
the
ecosystem,
so
not
just
storage
providers,
but
those
who
can
support
it
and
help
it
grow.
They
have
to
understand
the
network.
Perhaps
they
they
might
offer
service
and
products
they
might
be
finance
related.
They
might
really
try
to
understand
the
network
at
a
deeper
layer
and
the
this
accelerator
will
do
that
it
will
give
them
the
understanding,
the
exposure
to
how
file
coin
really
works
and
how
they
can
build
their
business
around
it.
F
E
A
A
A
You
will
earn
and
prove
out
financial
concept
through
what
we
call
the
residency
period
with
utilizing.
Espa's
provided
enterprise,
compute
and
storage
equipment
in
las
vegas
nevada
and
in
the
end
the
participant
will
be
able
to
exit
with
invaluable
knowledge
to
independently
operate
as
a
web3
storage
provider
business
with
the
tools
they
need
to
onboard
their
own
valuable
storage
clients,
the
accelerator
kicks
off
with
the
boot
camp
and
in
person
in
gen
on
january
10th,
in
which
our
first
cohorts
application
deadline
will
be
in
about
a
month
from
now
december
10th.
A
F
Thanks
thanks
john,
so
this
is
really
a
timeline
of
of
the
espa
path.
The
espa
program
right
now
we're
in
the
first
phase,
which
is
really
building
out
that
data
center
and
operational
center.
That
john
mentioned,
we
chose
switch
in
las
vegas
because
they
have
a
really
top
of
the
class
top
of
the
field
facility.
F
It's
extremely
reliable
and
really
important
to
us.
The
energy
that
they
use
is
100.
Renewable
they've
got
these
massive
solar
panel
farms
that
produce
electricity
for
the
use
there.
We're
we're
really
excited
that
people
can
see
the
facility
as
part
of
our
boot
camp,
we'll
offer
a
tour
of
the
facility
either
at
the
beginning
or
the
end
of
the
boot
camp
period.
F
F
D
F
So,
in
conclusion,
what
I
like
to
say
is
we're
really
looking
forward
to
you
joining
us
on
this
exciting
new
adventure.
As
john
said,
there's
a
website,
you
can
go
to
web3
espa
dot
io.
I
do
want
to
bring
up
a
couple
points
about
it.
First
of
all,
there's
very
limited
space,
so
you
want
to
apply
early.
F
F
We
do
have
a
phil
lease
form
that
we're,
including
in
the
website,
so
go
to
the
website.
There's
a
gives
you
direction
about
how
to
apply
for
the
program,
but
for
the
fill
lease
we
ask
you
to
download
the
form
and
then
turn
it
in
directly
to
the
lender.
We
don't
need
to
see
that,
but
we
need
to
qualify
you
so
that
you
know
you
can
get
fill
that
would
be
used
for
the
for
the
program.
F
B
All
right,
so,
if
you're,
if
you're
looking
to
become
a
storage
provider,
if
you
want
to
learn
how
to
yeah
go
after
enterprise
customers
and
you
want
to
have
some
help.
This
is
a
perfect
accelerated
program
very
interesting
to
see
that
you'll
have
multiple
cohorts,
so
there's
different
opportunities
to
join,
but
please
go
apply,
there's
limited
spots.
Of
course.
F
Right
as
we're
as
we're
creating
the
the
curriculum
and
we're
in
the
midst
of
that
now
that
will
become
available
to
the
community.
Obviously
all
the
one-on-one
work
and
all
the
intense
effort.
That's
really
directly
part
of
the
these
cohorts,
but
the
material
will
be
there.
So
we'll
have
lots
of
references,
we're
going
to
build
on
a
lot
of
the
documentation
that
filecoin
and
the
community
has
produced
so
far.
So
I
think
that
in
itself
will
be
helpful,
as
people
can
really
see
something
in
a
coherent
way.
B
That's
awesome,
perfect
cool,
so
stay
tuned,
go
to
the
website
and
sign
up
all
right
and
then
moving
on
to
the
next
topic.
Julia
noel
from
cid
gravity
is
here
with
us
to
give
us
an
update
on
his
software
sex.
So
julian
go
ahead.
Tell
us
what
cid
gravity
is
all
about
and
how
it
can
help
our
existing
ecosystem
and
storage
providers.
D
D
At
the
glance
we
allow
storage
providers
to
scale
up
their
storage
business
and
securely
attract
more
clients.
We
enable
enterprise
clients
to
store
data
to
the
network
and
we
are
an
institution
to
fight
against
illegal
content.
What
you
see
on
the
right
here
is
the
your
power
growth
before
and
after
using
cid
gravity.
So
this
is
real
data,
and
today,
over
the
last
three
months,
we
analyzed
more
than
2.2
million
deals
and
we
onboard
more
than
I
mean
storage
providers
on
board
more
than
five
petabytes
of
power
through
cid
gravity.
D
D
We
know
the
falcon
ecosystem
quite
well.
We
are
filigon
community
leaders,
firecoin
plus
notary,
minor
association
representative,
and
we
are
developing
also
another
solution
called
forecaster,
which
is
a
falcon
real-time
and
analytic
open
source
solution
used
by
more
than
400
miners.
Today
we
are
financially
and
backed
by
consensus
and
protocol
labs,
and
today
we
have
two
technical
partners.
We
are
working
very
deeply
with
which
are
textile
and
estuary,
who
are
the
two
biggest
brokers
on
the
network
right
now.
D
Why?
For
you,
storage
providers,
it's
the
right
moment
to
start
start,
storing
and
accepting
storing
real
data,
so
the
the
in
july,
in
the
falcon
newsletters
we
that
we
announced
that
the
filicon
network
across
the
baseline
and
now
you
are
more
incentivized
to
store
data
instead
of
just
committing
capacity,
but
to
do
that.
Actually,
it's
a
hard
decision
for
most
of
the
storage
providers.
D
D
So,
as
a
storage
provider,
when
you
enter
the
cid
gravity
experience,
you
can
identify
your
clients,
you
can
enable
storage
deals
seamlessly
and
I
will
show
you
how
you
get
10x
over
your
storage
capacity
by
automatically
being
registered
to
the
to
the
broker
and
control
your
deal
flow.
How
much
did
how
much
did
you
receive
and
so
keep
an
eye
reputation
through
our
deep
integration
with
them,
and
also
you
can
block
untrusted
clients
that
may
expose
your
platform
against
service
destruction
or
lawsuits?
D
So
the
first
thing
you
usually
do
is
you
go
to
our
website
here
you
can
join
our
slack
community.
When
you
can
ask,
I
would
really
recommend
to
do
that.
Actually,
so
you
can
ask
all
your
your
questions
and
all
the
other
miners
and
our
team
will
support
you
and
you
can
directly
click
here,
and
this
brings
you
through
this
login
page
when
you
connect
with
your
github
account
share
that
from
here
to
here
and
once
it's
done
then
you're
connected.
So
this
is
the
live
platform.
This
is
a
live
account.
D
Actually,
it's
mine.
What
you
you
do
in
cid
gravity
is
that,
instead
of
managing,
I
mean
today
lotus
what
lotus
provides.
You
is
the
ability
to
set
a
unique
price
for
all
your
clients
and
just
decide
to
accept
or
not
accept
this.
So
what
we
bring
with
cid
gravity
is
the
ability
to
the
first
thing
we
bring.
Is
the
ability
to
manage
per
client
pricing
per
client
deal
conditions,
so
how
it's
done
is
that
the
first
thing
you
do
is
like
you
create
pricings,
and
then
you
attach
the
pricing
to
the
clients.
D
D
So
when
the
deal
is
coming
in
for
the
client
that
is
attached
to
this,
pricing
is
like
the
deal
is
coming
in
goes
for
all
the
different
foods.
When
the
rule
is
matching,
you
check,
the
price
is
automatically
checked
if
the
price
is
correct,
that
it
is
accepted.
Otherwise
the
client
is
automatically
notified
of
the
price
that
is
supposed
to
set
for
the
deal
to
be
stored.
D
So
when
it's
done,
what
you
do
is
like
you
manage
your
client
so,
instead
of
managing
addresses
here,
you
manage
real
client
names
as
an
example.
Here
we
have
three
clients.
What
we
do
is
like.
We
have
a
client,
we
set
a
name.
We
attach
the
addresses
we
apache
pricing
and
then
you
can
attach
additional
deal
conditions.
So
here
as
an
example,
we
have
rate
limits
that
we
can
apply
to
clients,
so
we
have
some
clients
like
stre,
which
is
sending
hundreds
of
deals
per
hour.
D
D
D
Here
we
go
and
then
now
speedium
is
automatically
blocked
and
I
still
receiving
this
for
the
other
clients.
So
everything
that
is
done
through
cid
gravity
is
done
through
this
ui.
It's
very
easy
to
use.
Anybody
can
use
that
you
don't
need
any
special
expertise.
This
can
actually
also
be
done
by
an
account
manager
that
is
working
in
your
company.
D
So
now
you
can
also
have
blog
lists,
so
you
block
the
addresses
that
may
expose
your
client
you're
your
miner.
For
some
reason
you
get
like
detailed
deals
when
you
can
like
filter
and
see
exactly
what
you
accept
what
has
been
rejected
and
then
you
we
reach
the
integration
module
so
in
the
integration
module,
this
is
very
convenient.
So
the
idea
here
is
like,
instead
of
managing
your
profile
on
the
estuary
website
on
our
textile
beadboard,
what
you
can
do
here
is
that
you
just
click.
D
D
Anyway,
I
don't
know
the
pricing
actually
attached
to
this
kind,
but
this
the
idea
is
like
to
to
to
be
able
for
you
to
verify
in
advance.
If
your
pricing
is
working
as
you
expect,
everything
is
done
like
it's
really
like
community
and
user-centric,
which
means
that
you
can
very
easily
access
to
us.
Ask
all
the
questions
you
ask
or
the
future
request.
D
D
So
that's
all
for
the
demo.
So
this
is
a
tool
that
is
built
by
the
community
and
by
miners.
So
today
we
receive
more
than
50
feature
requests
for
from
the
community,
the
community,
the
the
city
gravity
community.
Today
it's
it's
more
than
140
members
on
the
slack,
and
there
is
more
than
500
users
created
on
the
platform.
Today
we
receive
most
of
the
requests
from
protocol
labs
and
really
really
active
miners
and
partners
yeah.
So
that's
it.
So
you
can
reach
out
to
me
directly
by
email.
D
B
B
E
E
Storage
providers
signed
up
I'll
need
to
double
check
that
number,
but
something
like
that,
and
so,
but
one
of
the
challenges
we
had
was
actually
getting
more
miners,
more
storage
providers
to
be
aware
of
the
system
and
also
some
of
the
storage
providers
that
were
already
running
the
system.
We
knew
that
if
they
tuned
their
configurations
a
little
bit
better
they'd
be
getting
a
lot
better
performance
out
of
out
of
auctions
and
the
and
the
system
we've
been
building,
and
so
two
weeks
ago,
a
little
over
a
little.
E
Over
a
week
ago,
week
and
a
half
ago,
we
launched
this
idea
of
of
a
competition,
and
the
competition
is
among
storage
providers
that
are
connecting
to
bitbot,
and
so
storage
providers
would
come
to
the
come
to
the
system
run
bidbot
and
we
said
over
a
two
week
period
that
started
last
sunday
night
monday
morning.
The
store
providers
that
could
store
the
most
data
with
the
lowest
error
rate
would
win,
and
so
far
it's
been
a
really
exciting
competition.
E
So
actually
we
have
a
public
discord
and
every
I
believe,
six
hours,
we're
posting
an
update
of
the
leaderboard,
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
progress
with
you,
because
it's
pretty
exciting,
so
we
have
we
have
over
or
sorry.
We
have
20
store
providers
now
that
have
been
storing
data
with
100
success
and
the
amount
of
data
that
they've
stored
has
varied
anywhere
from
32
gigabytes
up
to
2.1
terabytes.
E
Over
the
the
last
week
of
the
of
the
competition
and
so
we're
seeing
we're
seeing
the
competition
kind
of
move
forward
really
fast,
we
knew
that
there
would
be
this
this
sort
of
tie
between
some
of
the
top
folks.
So
we
actually
added
also
a
bonus
score
that
store
providers
are
getting
and
that
bonus
score
comes
to
any
storage
provider
that
wins
an
auction
in
a
two-hour
period.
E
If
you're,
a
storage
provider
and
you're
still
interested
in
running
this,
it's
actually,
unfortunately
too
late
to
sign
up
for
the
competition.
But
there
is
a
lot
of
great
data.
That's
being
stored
on
the
network,
and
so
we
definitely
would
love
you
to
come
and
experiment
and
join
this
and
give
us
feedback
and
try
it
out
yourselves.
So
the
way
it
is
the
way
this
works.
Clients
right
now
are
creating
auctions
in
the
system.
What
is
an
auction?
E
E
Any
storage
provider
running
bidbot
has
their
own
configuration
that
determines
how
they
bid
on
those
auctions,
and
so
that
includes
price,
the
rate
of
bidding.
What
to
do
if
they're
getting
a
lot
of
back
pressure
in
their
system
like
like
start
bidding
less,
for
example,
and
by
doing
that,
all
a
large
number
of
bids
come
in
and
the
best
bids
are
selected
for
storing
that
deal,
and
so
what's
really
cool
is,
as
a
storage
provider
running
that
you
actually
don't
have
to
do
anything.
E
And
just
one
thing
to
call
out
is
we
have
a
nice
integration
with
sid
gravity?
And
I
know
a
lot
of
storage
providers
are
already
running.
Sid
gravity.
So
definitely
take
a
look
at
that
section
about
how
to
use
the
two
together
to
help
manage
your
system
and
then
there's
also
a
little
section
about
troubleshooting.
E
I
definitely
recommend
if
you
do
go
through
installing
this,
be
sure
that
you
read
this
as
well,
because
they
have
some
really
great
tips
on
lowering
your
error
rates
and
ensuring
that
you're
getting
good
deal
flow
and
if
you
happen
to
be
a
client,
that's
listening
to
this
and
want
to
learn
how
to
get
your
data
flowing
through
this
system
or
want
to
test
this
with
your
own.
With
your
own
projects,
definitely
get
in
touch.
E
You
can
find
us
through
the
discord
link
right
in
our
in
our
blog
post,
I'm
also
available,
and
a
lot
of
my
team
are
available
on
the
file
point
slack,
and
so
you
can
find
us
over
there.
I'm
just
andrew
hill
and
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you.
If
you
want
to
experiment
getting
data
onto
this
system,
thanks
very
much.

Great,
so
that
was
it
for
today
and
for
ipfs4.
So
maybe,
let's
summarize
it.
If
you
are
looking
for
an
accelerated
program,
you're
building
a
business,
then
look
at
techstars
and
apply
for
the
falcon
accelerator
if
you're
looking
to
participate
as
a
storage
provider,
look
at
the
new
espa
falcon
storage
provider
accelerator
and
if
you
are
running
an
existing
storage
file,
coin
storage
system,
definitely
look
at
cid
gravity
to
set
price
and
also
collaborate
or
or
run
the
the
auction
tooling
from
textile
to
help.
