Thoughts on how this is unique in anyway to IPFS, Filecoin ... ?

  At first I thought "bleh, typical negative HN comment", but then I read the article and am left with the exact same question. Isn't this just IPFS with heavy backing? I guess that is the difference though; the backing.

    Isn't IPFS free? This looks like a system that takes money from those who pay for storage/computing and pays those willing to allow their idle machines for use.

      If you want to be sure that your data will remain available on IPFS it's not free either.

  Why does it need to be unique? Few large companies today were unique in their offereing when they launched.

  It's probably closer to Internet Computer than IPFS, Arweave, FileCoin, etc.
