Hi @Laycuicui - thank you for applying here.

Two initial requests: 1) Please complete a KYC check of your GitHub ID using https://filplus.storage/kyc Here you can login and complete a quick Third Party check - no personal information is shared on GitHub. 2) Please share more information about the SP miner IDs you are working with. We need to know Entity and Location. f03074583
f03074586
f03074587
f03074589
f03074592

You say you want to store 8 copies, but you have 5 miner IDs. Our only requirement is 2 copies stored across 2 entities if you want to store 8 copies, we need more proof of a plan for that.

[Laycuicui]

1. verified.

2. Because the first round amount is only 500TiB, the plan is to find these 5 SPs to work with first. f03074583 Fly Japan f03074586 Datastone HK f03074587 Hanku Korea f03074589 Xing HK f03074592 HKblockchain USA

We will continue to look for new SPs. The SPs we are currently communicating with are f03028318, f02363305, f02182802.

@Laycuicui

First round is 500TiB? I'm confused. You are applying 5PiB with dataset size 390TiB. Please clarify. Also please show proof of dataset size.

[Laycuicui]

Based on the storage barrels, it can be assumed that there are at least 400TiB of real data. I plan to send 8x copies, each for 390TiB raw data. Since there is a conversion rate between the raw data size and Datacap consumption size, each copy would require around 650TiB Datacap, with a total amount of 5PiB Datacap. Also first round is 500TiB.

[kevzak]

Hello @Laycuicui of the miner IDs you shared: f03074583 Fly Japan f03074586 Datastone HK f03074587 Hanku Korea f03074589 Xing HK f03074592 HKblockchain USA

We'll need some better representation of the entity and location. This list shows five IDs that are likely in the same datacenter. Need a better detail of who is storing which copies.

Also all five have 0% retrieval or are unavailable on Spark Dashboard. SPs you choose need to make retrievals available or you will not be able to receive DataCap from this allocator. Please advise

[Laycuicui]

@kevzak Sorry for the late reply.

1. Each entity will be storing a backup, of course this is just the first round, as more and more quota is issued, more SPs will be entered for storage.
2. Spark retrieval, SPs feedback that the Spark team is collaborating on all DC paths including V4 and V5, currently only collaborating on LDN in V4 mode, so for new storage in V5, the retrieval rate is 0. But rest assured, SPs are fully compliant. You can follow the follow-up report.

@Laycuicui please complete this form with more detailed client and SP information so I can review: https://form.jotform.com/240786057753667
