my problem with filecoin is that it is essentially disconnected from IPFS… it’s basically completely unrelated. And you need big contraptions to use it together. Protocol Labs people always sell “Filecoin” as solution to IPFS shortcomings… but it isn’t, really. Filecoin is an entirely separate network where you pay for both retrieval and storage. And you need big contraptions to use those two together in any way. It isn’t made to be used together at all.
