  Note that the system requirements are way out of the league of the average home user (32GB RAM, 8 cores, several TB disk space). Plus, if the chain is growing at 38GB/day (as the Filecoin website suggests), that’s a traffic average of 3.8Mbit/s 24 hours a day.

    You could always download the IPFS Desktop client and "pin" content that you find valuable to provide to the community, (say, a partial copy of Wikipedia in your language [0]. No crypto-based incentives associated with that though, at least yet.

      Wikipedia changes every second. That seems like a very expensive combination for a CAS system — even with good deduplification you’re storing a lot of metadata tracking every revision.

  Is this legitimate or just a shitcoin scheme? The website looks very sketchy.

    I think filecoin is legit but it’s not working super well in its current state

    I've been following Filecoin for a while and although I'm not invested in it, some of their YouTube videos do have technical substance to them, and they seem to have some brand-name investors like the Winklevoss' org.
