Update getting datacap instructions #2250

Open dannyob opened 5 months ago

dannyob commented 5 months ago

This may be waiting on a clearer pathway in the new world of allocators, but I believe the instructions at https://docs.filecoin.io/basics/how-storage-works/filecoin-plus are currently inaccurate. (At the very least, I don't think https://filplus.fil.org/#/ gives a list of entities -- at least it has no SPs and no obvious way to find allocators), and I believe the filplus.storage path doesn't currently work, as it awaits a rewrite.

@dannyob can you suggest someone who might be well placed to update this?

@galen-mcandrew @willscott would be my first port of call!

We need to update these, so we can link to them from the various tutorials also. We need a working process for new devs to get datacap, even if it's the old one, some intermediate hack, anything.

Flagging the homepage of this site (https://filplus.storage/) inaccurately suggests SP's will "get significantly more reward from the network for successful storage," when it should read "SP's who accept Filecoin+ deals will have a higher probability of being selected as the verifier and earning block rewards than their peers who only accept regular deals." Along with other issues found in Filecoin+ documentation, adding to the docs scratchpad.

This work will also need to address the instructions in the lotus tutorial https://lotus.filecoin.io/tutorials/lotus/store-and-retrieve/store-data/
