I guess I'm old and jaded at this point. I don't see this succeeding when other coins have the same capabilities either entirely (burst/sia) or as a feature of an already greater feature set (PIRL)
i'm open minded for what might become of it...since they are all different, doesn't mean if you can store something using blockchain tech, the problem is solved.
besides i don't know if this storage thingy with all of them has already secured the "real storage" part because i've already tried a fake chinese usb flash disk a long time ago.
it will trick the system like this-->I have a 4gb space..you put files, it writes and then when you copy back it still does but the file "is corrupted" hehe
funny, right now at first glance, filecoin is the most ASIC resistant because you need all of this to be working.
- needs powerful enough multi core cpu
- needs powerful enough gpu
- needs drive space...what if increasing space/and speeding up (SSD vs HDD) increases rewards?
- needs the latest RAM max capacity for boards/modules, what if the RAM is increased from 128gb to 256gb...(future 512gb, 1tb...) you get more rewards ?
while right now, to beat ASICs this is the current solutions..
XMR - only a cpu algo can do it because..
ETH - a growing DAG utilizing GPU ram because..
RVN - a special GPU algo sauce because..
ProgPOW - a special GPU algo sauce because..
filecoin might be the holy grail of ASIC resistance. - will this gain/bring value? we will see. well..I mean look at ETH, that was supposed to be a gas to fuel a world computer, it just become another money LOL
