Share a brief history of your project and organization

This project is to store parts of /dev/urandom on Filecoin.
We believe that Filecoin and FIL+ is the ideal method of storing this data.

/dev/urandom is completely random and to store 5PiB of this random data on the chain is clearly invaluable.

Is this project associated with other projects/ecosystem stakeholders?

No

Describe the data being stored onto Filecoin

We will prepare 33000 files of 17GiB (the ideal size to fill a 32GiB sector) with /dev/urandom
We have asked ChatGPT how to create the files and this was the result

#!/bin/bash

for i in {1..33000}
do
  # Generate a random filename with 8 random characters
  filename=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 8 | head -n 1)

  # Create the file with random data
  dd if=/dev/urandom of="$filename" bs=1G count=17

  echo "Created file $filename"
done

Are you storing these files just to get Datacap? It's hard to tell if the data is valid and authorized.
