Allocator Application Compliance Report

1. Digital Earth Africa #3 DC granted: 3PiB — Instead of a data sample, a website was provided, which does not contain any data to download. The allocator did not ask about the method of preparing the data, did not ask any additional questions.

The data proposed by the client was stored on filecoin many times. A few examples: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Afilecoin-project%2Ffilecoin-plus-large-datasets+Digital+Earth+Africa&type=issues https://github.com/TVLimited/top-value-storage/issues/13 https://github.com/Origin-Storage-IO/future-storage/issues/10 https://github.com/Chuangshi1/Genesis/issues/12 Many more examples are available for comparison. Please refer to the search results for "Digital Earth Africa" using allocator.tech

The above examples contain different datasets for DE Africa, however it is unknown which ones were used by the client in question as the allocator did not ask any additional questions.

SPs provided: f02951064, ZheJiang-JinHua - f02984282, HeNan-ZhengZhou - f0122215, ShanDong-QingDao - f0427989, ShanDong-QingDao - f02942808, GuangDong-ShenZhen f02894875, JiangXi-FuZhou

SPs used for deals: f03035656 f02894875 f02200472 f02942808 f03083270 f03081864 f03072985 f03142258 f03086293 f02824216 f03068013 f01025366 f03074163 f02951213

Only 2 SPs match the list provided by the customer. The original list contained 6 SPs, the actual list contains 14.

In allocator's application it was said that Allocator will require 3 different regions from clients. SPs provided by client were in one region and allocator did not respond. Actual SPs provided by client are from different regions but looking at this application it looks like a lucky coincidence. Please correct me if I am wrong.

11 of 13 SPs have a retrieval rate of 0 or unavailable. Only one SP has a retrieval rate of over 75%.

Lastly, according to the allocator application, the first tranche should be 5% of the total DC, but in this client's case, it was 10%. Why this inconsistency?

2. LAMOST DR7 #14 DC granted: 0.75PiB —- The list of SPs provided matches the list of SPs used for deals, but 4 out of 7 allocators have a retrieval rate below 70%.

This client attempted to get a DC for the same dataset from a different allocator. While this is not the subject of this review, this client still requested a DC renewal from a different allocator on October 8 in the comment, while the application in question is from September.

A dataset with this name was stored on filecoin multiple times. Although these may be different datasets, the client should prove their uniqueness, which was not the case. Has the allocator questioned this? Examples: https://github.com/nicelove666/Allocator-Pathway-IPFSTT/issues/41 https://github.com/LendMi-Finance/LendMi-Storage/issues/15 https://github.com/amiclan666/WaterdropLab/issues/5 https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Afilecoin-project%2Ffilecoin-plus-large-datasets+lamost&type=issues

3. NOAA DC granted: 1.24PiB — SPs list provided: f03157883 GuangDong f02828269 GuangDong f02825282 HK f03179570 sg

SPs list used for deals: f02852273 GB F02984331 SG F02973061 RU F02883857 SG

No SP matches the provided list. 2 SP exceeds the allowed 25% of the sealing date.

This dataset was stored many times. NOAA often appears as a dataset in applications, so you need to pay special attention to applications that use these datasets. Below is a link to search just for this dataset. There are 10 search results. https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Afilecoin-project%2Ffilecoin-plus-large-datasets+noaa-gefs-reforecast&type=issues

With allocator.tech, you can find applications open on 12 other allocators by typing in NOAA's name. Did the allocator ensure that sending more copies of the dataset would be valuable for the network?
