RE: Filecoin Problems and Fixes: My Letter to Protocol Labs
I haven't been following Filecoin until recently, but I've been a big Storj supporter. Decentralized file storage isn't something that's terribly hard to do via blockchain, it's sad that a dominant company hasn't emerged yet.
Hopefully Filecoin can get past these points you've brought up and deliver a product that isn't plagued with the payment problems Storj currently is.
What are Storj's payment problems? Can you go into detail?
Filecoin's ambit is greater than Storj's btw.
Just take a look at the mess in /r/storj. Farmers are unhappy that a large portion of the payout seems to be going to people either cheating the system entirely by generating traffic pointed only to their node, or breaking the rules and having multiple payout addresses so they can have tons of farmers getting the minimum payout. The moderator Helmex:
It seems like these issues are technically fixable, but there's still a huge problem with communication between farmers and the Storj team.
There's also been some confusion/drama because people have been changing positions at Storj. Again, it's 90% communication problem with farmers.
Good color. You should write on a recommended series of fixes that Storj leaders could apply that you think would improve the situation and post it on Steemit.
