Is 10TB an arbitrary size or does it fluctuate like the bitcoin difficulty?
If it doesn't change then the whole thing is probably just going to crash eventually.
EDIT: after looking at the mining pdf in the child comment this whole thing looks goofy. idk what to say.
- rodiger 6y agoNo, you don't need 10TB. But you do need a crazy machine with 128GB+ of RAM.[0] [0] https://docs.filecoin.io/mine/mining-architectures/#protocol-labs-example-architecture https://docs.filecoin.io/mine/mining-architectures/#protocol...
- ac29 6y agoThat link makes it makes it sounds like you need three such machines, one of which requires 256GiB RAM. To store 10TB, which a commercial NAS could do with acceptable performance with maybe 1 or 2 GiB RAM, tops.
- google234123 6y agoAre they aware that 10TB is about 160$ in Hard drives>?
- jimpick 6y agoYou can mine under 10TiB. You aren’t eligible for block rewards until you are proving at least 10TiB. Filecoin+ verified data deals count for 10x power. There’s a lot of power on the network, so the frequency of winning blocks at the threshold is fairly infrequent.
