Right now, filecoin is only a whitepaper. There's no implementation yet. Possibly never.
Now, Filecoin seems to, from the whitepaper, gotten it right. We all know of the tragedy of the commons. Their solution was an elegant way around that, by granting filecoin to whom share their bandwidth and local storage. And then, others will take your coin for duplicating files you want copied.
But right now, it doesnt exist. And IPFS still works flawlessly.

And IPFS still works flawlessly Reading the IPFS website, I was under the impression IPFS nodes were utilizing filecoin. My bad.
- parkan 10y agoFilecoin is one of several proposed approaches for encouraging seeding ("pinning") in the IPFS network. In our network (Mediachain), we will probably start out by using tit-for-tat pinning between peers for this purpose.
