Filecoin to my knowledge has or will have no capabilities of sharing files. It's dumb end-to-end encrypted decentral storage (which is a good thing!).
- sharemywin 9y agoso you have file storage and a currency. you need a dao to manage the index/search.
- onli 9y agodao=data access object? You can't implement indexing and search over end to end encrypted data file chunks. You would have to work with the hash of complete files and a localizer, and you want that in the initial design.
- sharemywin 9y agoDistributed org creates account rents massive file store builds index and use contracts to enforce rental fees.
- mpfundstein 9y agoThats auper nice
- tylersmith 9y agoFor OpenBazaar, built on IPFS, we've gone the route of federated search with an open API. A DAO could be interesting but a lot more work for little gain. Eventually I'd like to open source code that lets any user create their own index/search server and potentially charge for usage if they want.
- rmorey 9y agoFilecoin is being built on top of IPFS (ipfs.io) which, in principle, could be used as a really robust network for sharing pirated content. However, the IPFS team is aware of this problem, and is building in measures to allow nodes to opt out of storing globally available blacklists of known bad objects (i.e. pirated content or illegal content) In practice, this is definitely a really hard problem to solve, and very important. But I think doable.
- opportune 9y agoIf you're hosting something such as a movie, and it's blacklisted, couldn't you just add a small amount of noise to the video file to make it unblacklistable?
- knicholes 9y agoI guess that depends on how things are being blacklisted.
- azinman2 9y agoExactly. YouTube has the same problem and does all kinds of things to detect this. They have the benefit of already having the media on all their own storage which they can run a map-reduce on, however.
- scottLobster 9y agoFor now, but this sounds like a problem machine learning was built to solve. Youtube has issues because with the sheer volume of video they don't have the silicon to transcode/examine every frame, but on a more limited network with less traffic such analysis might be doable. The more "variations" people introduce in response, the larger the training set for the algorithm.
- opportune 9y agoYes, this is an adversarial machine learning problem. I highly doubt those kind of measures would be implemented by file coin though, considering the cost of scanning files for such at scale. I'm sure, at least in the short term, it will likely be some time of hash or edit distance measure (or an equally naive and easy to fool approach).
