Topic: ✅ [ANN] FileFileGo - Decentralized Data Sharing Network - page 2. (Read 764 times)

You could say a channel is similar to a repository.

In filefilego, storage providers can store data which can be then retrieved by other peers using the file hash. This part of the system is completely off-chain meaning that file hashes are not stored anywhere.

Now here comes the concept of Channels. Let's assume that I am selling my own ML models which are 2TB of data, I could create a channel called "MLModels XYZ" and create different subchannels and categories. In those subchannels you can create entries which are basically posts, or upload files/folders.

Channels are public and if some files are uploaded to a channel, they are first uploaded to a storage provider and then the hash is included in the channels posts/files this way they point back to the file hash (the data will be on-chain)

Please read the docs here: https://filefilego.com/documentation/docs/

ahh got it!
very interesting project. i saw there is a tab for channels is it something similar to a repository?

Hi,

Proof of Transfer in the context of filefilego is a type of verification concensus algorithm that allows the network to verify some data from 2 untrusted nodes were exchanged successfully without trusting those nodes at all.

This is not a consensus mechanism to mine or validate blocks. In FileFileGo storage providers can ask for an x amount of coins when they serve data to other nodes. The algorithm that verifies this process is our proof of data transfer, which mathematically proves that data from storage node were transmitted to the downloader node.

Let me know if you need more clarification

hello! i subscribed to your github repository and i am learning about the concepts of filefilego

can you explain how proof of transfer works and is it related to blockchain mining?

Hi

I would like to provide you with a quick update on our recent accomplishments and upcoming milestones. Over the course of the past 8 weeks, we have successfully achieved the following milestones:

1. We have developed a mobile wallet application for Android and iOS platforms, which is currently awaiting approval.
2. Our FileFileGo user interface has been developed and is now compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.
3. We have implemented a payment gateway on our website, enabling users to purchase FFG tokens conveniently.
4. We are pleased to announce our collaboration with a reputable data center located in the Netherlands. This partnership allows us to offer dedicated servers for storage, ensuring high quality and optimal performance.

Moving forward, we have outlined the following milestones for our project:

1. Creation of comprehensive tutorials that will guide users through the entire process of utilizing FFG, from beginner to advanced levels.
2. Development of a block explorer to enhance the functionality and transparency of our platform.
3. Implementation of strategic marketing initiatives and pursuit of listing opportunities on prominent cryptocurrency exchanges.

For regular updates, we encourage you to join our Discord channel. It provides a valuable platform for communication and staying informed.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication and contributions to our project.

Announcement:

1 Million FFG Bounty: Break the Data Transfer Verification Algorithm


https://filefilego.com/bounty.html

You can set up a storage full node where users will utilize your node to store data, when other users retrieve your data, they will pay your node. The algorithm behind this is called Proof of Data Transfer, and uses cryptographic functions to perform the verification.

I recommend that you wait for mid-May when we will have the GUI app and downloader, which will allow average users easily interact with the blockchain.

Currently there is the cli implementation which offers all the functionalities ( https://github.com/filefilego/filefilego/ )

If you want to buy coins, join us on discord and talk to us: https://discord.gg/qhKkKZ9

When i can buy or get FFG?

Update:
We are currently working on a mobile wallet, it is expected to be delivered by next week.

Users will be able to create their wallet on their mobile and send/receive FFG coins

By 5-10 May, we will also have a GUI wallet and downloader.

Hi,

We are currently running a PoA consensus algorithm, which means we have a set of validators that "Seal" blocks. The decision for this choice was that new blockchains like FileFileGo could easily be attacked since there is already a huge amount of processing power out there.

You can "Mine" coins by providing your storage node to people who would like to utilize your storage. This procedure is not exactly mining, but a reward system that allows you to get paid for the data users download from you.

The consensus mechanism for transferring the data from one node to another node and verifying it properly is the main innovation of this project. We proof mathematically that a set of data (bytes) were transferred from one node to another with a little bit of signature generation and cryptography.

I hope my answer helped you understand how the project works. You can always ready the documentation (https://filefilego.com/documentation/docs/) or if you want further clarification feel free to ask here

Is there a benefit to running a node? i have followed all the steps and launched a node but not sure how to generate coins.

More info please.

Peer-to-peer, censorship-resistant, and a privacy-focused data sharing network

The FileFileGo protocol is a peer-to-peer data-sharing network designed for the web3 era, with an incentive mechanism, full-text search, storage, and indexing/tracking. Its decentralized architecture enables users to share data without censorship or a single point of failure. By leveraging game-theory concepts, FileFileGo incentivizes participation and ensures data availability while achieving fault-tolerance and preserving privacy.

As the internet has grown, it has become increasingly vulnerable to censorship and control by large corporations and ISPs. Governments have also attempted to regulate the flow of information online, making it challenging for informational platforms to operate without interruption. The FileFileGo protocol was developed to address these issues and enable users to access and share information freely.

FileFileGo is an open-source community project, with no centralized control or ownership. Its coin distribution is designed to be fair, with an emission of 40 FFG per block that decreases by half every 24 months.

The protocol is launched without ICO/STO/IEO or pre-mine, relying on a Proof of Authority consensus algorithm that will eventually transition to Proof of Stake to allow more stakeholders to participate.

So what problem does it solve?

We highly recommend reading the documentation (https://filefilego.com/documentation/docs/) which explains every piece of the system and the challenges it solves.

A simple example would be, a "channel" that can be created and called "BitcoinTalk" and under this channel, the owner/posters/admins can create sub-channels, entries, folders, and files. Textual data will be on-chain and files will be off-chain using the storage engine. We have developed a novel algorithm that can verify if a file was successfully transferred from one node to another node mathematically and deterministically. These algorithms are Proof of Data Transfer and they are used as the main incentive mechanism for releasing funds to a file hoster. (data is downloaded by the downloader, applying a fee that the file hoster requires)


What are we doing on bitcointalk?

Filefilego is an open-source community project, we encourage and seek contributions and innovative ideas to ensure that the Internet remains an open and decentralized platform.

Any user can join the network by running a full node and enabling the Storage Engine, which they can later use to upload data. File downloaders requesting your data, will be required to pay the fees the storage provider has specified (when running a full node its required to specify the fees_per_byte)
