Hello
here
is
nicola
and
I
lead
research
efforts
at
protocol
labs
in
particularly
on
filecoin.
This
talk
is
going
to
be
about
visualizing,
decentralized
storage
networks.
The
goal
is
to
inspire
and
give
ideas
to
product
and
designers.
Thinking
about
visualizing
storage
markets,
decentralized
storage,
markets
differently
from
other
blockchains.
The
core
aspects
of
fightcoin
are
its
storage
services.
A
We
will
see
that
in
traditional
blockchains
we
have
block
explorers
monitoring
tools.
They
are
focusing
on
analyzing
the
network
as
a
transactions
network,
while
instead
in
filecoin,
the
needs
of
the
users
are
way
different
way
more
different
than
that
users.
Don't
really
want
to
know.
What's
inside
the
content
of
a
block
users
want
to
know.
A
A
A
Imagine
if
you
work
in
a
cloud
company
in
a
cloud
company.
You
must
have
some
monitoring
tools
for
your
own
cloud
company,
but
instead
of
these
tools
being
private
to
the
company,
these
tools
are,
in
the
filecoin
case,
completely
public.
So
it
would
be
great
to
have
tools
where
anyone
can
storage
can
monitor.
The
storage
health
can
storage
the
failures
the
money
are
having
how
much
the
network
is
growing,
how
much
prices
are
changing,
how
well
specific
miners
are
doing,
and
in
general,
also
how
how
much
this
miner
is
being
rewarded.
A
So
it's
not
just
about
storage
explorers,
it's
also
about
ways
to
visualize
public
infrastructure,
for
storage.
And
the
third
item
is
that
filecoin
is
a
it's,
not
just
a
a
cloud
for
storage,
but
it
is
a
market
for
storage.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
items
that
we
could
be
visualizing
in
through
more
traditional
ux,
so,
for
example,
order
books.
A
A
A
Hopefully,
you
can
go
and
explore
the
the
storage
blockchain
of
filecoin
later
on,
but
the
first
page
shows
some
standard
metrics
very
similar
to
to
other
block
explorers,
but
this
is
focusing
more
on
storage,
so
how
much
new
storage,
how
many
miners,
but
also
more
specifically,
if
a
miner
wants
to
add
the
new
sector?
What
is
the
pledge
in
falcon?
The
pledge
is
the
amount
of
collateral
that
they
will
have
to
put
in
order
to
store
a
sector
and
how
much
would
be
the
reward
for
a
sector.
A
How
much
is
the
reward
for
a
particular
for
how
much
is
the
reward
in
file
coin
per
petabyte
provided
to
the
network
and
also
what
is
the
fi
the
sector
fault
fee?
If
a
miner
fails
to
store
a
file
or
a
sector
sector?
Is
this
container
of
several
files?
That's
how
much
they
for
one
day,
that's
how
much
they
would
end
up
paying,
and
so
hopefully,
with
more
with
more
work.
A
This
will
be
more
use
of
user
friendly,
but
it
provides
already
some
guarantees
on
how
much
the
miner
is
willing
to
put
at
stake
for
for
storing
your
files
and
on
the
on
the
other
part.
There
is
a
list
of
miners.
How
many
pre-commits
and
pre-commit
is
the
technical
term
for
new
storage
to
be
on
board
that
each
miner
has
and
what
is
the
available
balance
of
each
of
these
miners,
and
so
with
this
tooling?
A
What
we're
showing
is
that
there
is
enough
data
on
the
blockchain
for
providing
a
very
high
level
overview
of
costs
and
storage
being
added
through
time.
If
you
click
on
a
particular
miner
space
gap
shows
you
more
info
about
that
particular
miner.
So,
for
example,
how
much
money
do
they
have
do
they
have
locked
how
much
money
they
are
investing
and
how
how
many
more
pre-commits
their
their
their
planning
to
to
provide
and
a
lot
of
other
details
about
how
many
faulty
sectors
does
this
miner
have?
A
There
is
more
details
about
the
miner,
and
some
of
these
details
are
very
peculiar,
can
can
be
found
on
the
blockchain,
but
you
need
to
spend
some
more
time
to
understand
how
to
compute
them,
and
there
is
one
one
in
particular
here,
which
is:
what
is
the
daily
reward
of
the
miner?
What
is
the
pledge
that
the
miners
put
as
collateral
and
also
how
many
sectors
the
miner
will
have
to
lose
in
order
to
lose
all
the
pledge,
and
that's
called
falls
to
that?
A
How
many
faults
does
the
miner
need
to
have
in
order
to
go
in
that?
So
this
miner
has
a
lot
of
collateral
and,
and
so
india
don't
want
to
recommend
any
particular
miner,
but
in
general
a
miner
there
has
a
lot
of
collateral
is
more
likely
and
to
be
to
be
thinking
and
working
longer
term
because
they
have
money
at
stake.
A
Once
you
have
a
minor
you
can
see
where,
once
you
click
on
a
miner,
you
can
click.
You
can
see.
Also
some
parts
of
their
storage,
where
you
see
in
deadlines
is
every
miner
divide,
store,
can
be.
Storage
of
a
miner
can
be
divided
in
48
deadlines,
meaning
the
miner
will
have
to
prove
storage
48
times
per
day,
and
here
you
can
see
visualize
as
visualized
as
10
terabytes
hard
disks,
small
every
rectangle.
There
is
another
disk
you
can
see.
A
This
is
how
much
storage
this
particular
miner
is
storing
and
what
you
see
in
red
is
sectors
in
that
particular
deadline
that
they're
not
currently
storing,
currently
storing
or
that
they
have
offline
or
that
they
have
not
proven
what
you
can
do.
You
can
click
on
a
particular
deadline
and
you
can
see
the
history
of
this
deadline.
A
You
can
also
click
on
that
particular
sector
to
get
even
more
information
about
about
the
data
and
that's
the
storage
explorer
aspect,
and
this
one
very
briefly.
I
want
to
touch
on
the
market
on
the
market
aspect
space
gap.
Does
it
a
little
bit
poorly?
There
is
more
to
improve
there,
but
it
shows
how
many
deals
have
been
done
so
far.
What
is
the
collateral
put
to
back
this
deals,
but
also
there
is
a
list
of
what
is
the
price
that
miners
are
offering
for
their
storage.
A
A
much
better
service
was
done
by
codify
with
the
service
called
storage,
and
they
list
every
miner
that
is
offering
storage
a
particular
price
and
in
their
reputation
similarly
to
space
gap.
Reputation
can
be
taken
can
be
built
in
different
ways,
and
I
hope
that
there
will
be
a
plethora
of
services,
assigning
different
types
of
reputation
to
the
to
to
miners,
and
all
of
this
data
can
be
taken.
A
A
Is
being
taken,
we
can
craft
a
very
interesting
scores
or
reputation
system,
and
how
do
we
go
around
doing
this
space,
cap
and
and
and
storage
from
codify
and
all
the
other
systems
are
built
from
the
filecoin
blockchain
and
one
way
to
get
data
from
from
from
the
blockchain
is
by
running
the
lotus
node,
which
is
the
official
client
for
fightcoin.
There
are
many
other.
There
are
several
other
clients
that
you
can
use,
but
the
one
I
know
and
use
often
is
lotus
that
has
a
specific
rpc
apis.
