Forgive me for asking as I haven't read the whitepaper thoroughly, where are you planning on storing the massive hard drive storage?
I am aware that you will keep four replica of the files, does that mean that you will have four separate hard storage for that?
Thanks
Casper is a file system utility for decentralized applications based on Ethereum, and other blockchain platforms supporting smart contracts.
The blockchain platform is based on a P2P network, participants of which provide resources to perform transactions and calculation. Casper complements the P2P blockchain platform with a storage unit network, which provides HDD file storage service to users, while
storage units ensure the network is functioning properly. The storage unit network may be connected to several blockchain platforms (now we use Ethereum platform only). A storage unit may be connected to the network by any person with proper equipment at their home, or
a regional data center, which is interested in putting its idle facilities in operation. Each network participant will receive payments for rendering storage services. Casper’s provider verification and rating system is tailored to motivate its participants to act in their own
interests, independently from each other, thus maintaining the stability of the P2P network. All participants form a decentralized and independent data storage network, which cannot be controlled by any single person or company.
You know what I like on Casper? I like casper because of it's service offered plus the people behind it is so active. Like in this tread, Casper admin is so active on answering everybody's question. And he's not tired on explaining what Casper is even he already explained it before. We are not having hard time on following this project.
