IPFSNEWS is an IPFS&Filecoin vertical media platform.As we described in detail in this article, westarted to operate the community and spread IPFS/Filecoin technology in theform of a company in 18. we also held an IPFS technology forum in Shanghai onJanuary 13, 2019. at that time, Steven Li (@ipfsforce) Simon686(@1475IPFS), andLeng Bo（@storswift）have all become Filecoin miners.We are honored to continue tocontribute to IPFS/Filecoin for more than 2 years.(https://www.huodongxing.com/event/2473723064000)

The detailed experience in the encryption industry is as follows: -In 2013, I came into contact with Bitcoin through the media and embarked on the road of alternating research and exploration of Bitcoin bull and bear.

-In the summer of 2017, I came into contact with IPFS/Filecoin during the ICO boom, and learned about the project dynamics through International Financial Media ，then I shared it among small and medium-sized communities.

-At the beginning of 2018, I started working as a full-time media platform, disseminating information on the blockchain industry, and contacted the first batch of Filecoin mining entrepreneurs in Shanghai,and got in touch with the earliest Filecoin miner in Shanghai, which enabled me to learn more deeply.

-On January 13, 019, we organized an IPFS/Filecoin meetup in Shanghai, the theme activity of "[Broken Bureau]: IPFS Storage Explosion-The Year of Blockchain Break in 2019", the activity line link:https://www.huodongxing.com/event/2473723064000

Diversity and Decentralization

Use Case Diversity

(Optional) Any additional information you'd like to share about the use case(s) you plan to support?

Please answer here.

-Our use case plan is used to store precious data sets covering humanity, history, natural science, medical data, astronomical images, and Web3.0 networks. Now there is a preliminary estimated distribution as follows: Humanities&history account for 5% natural science data accounted for 10% Medical data account for15% astronomical image data account for 20% Web3.0 network data accounted for 50%

***#How to Use Case Diversity#Our plan is like this：《Assign a strategic schedule》https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pmtiClZqsQysqvgImIJX1_89Jt-OH6zU/edit#gid=1303001804

Allocation Plan

Concreteness of Allocation Plan

Allocation Strategy

How do you plan on allocating the DataCap requested above? Please describe your allocation strategy with as much specificity as you can.

Please answer here.

-In the initial stage, we plan to focus on Internet companies (institutions) customers and help them use the Filecoin network. Focus on participating in the improvement of system rules and process construction.At the same time, our Datacap quota will be divided into different levels (granularity), and develop the management and allocation scheme of the system. Regarding the distribution of DataCap, we plan to expand with reference to the following elements:

Regularly inspect the customer's data storage security management system
Investigate the reputation of customers in the industry
R&D investment and accumulation in data management
Magnitude and dispersion degree of storage devices
Growth rate and quality of customers

***Regarding #Allocation Plan#, we have designed a plan of our own:“Filecoin Datacap Application Form” https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yIpR2g5F74S0YVdbjkwXypVE5c5T3a5v/edit#gid=842689753

Are there any internal processes you plan on impelementing regarding the target, amount, or rate at which you'll allocate DataCap?

Please answer here.

-There are plans to add the above content to the internal process ,which is of course a dynamically balanced process based on the actual Filecoin network.This will be a dynamic balancing process. I would also like to hear about the application of actual commercial storage after the launch of the Filecoin mainnet. At present, we are more concerned about data storage in the following areas: 1.Slingshot data in the Filecoin network 2.Important data native to various blockchain main networks (data on blockchain, smart contracts, user DID, etc.) 3.Large-scale cold data in the Internet industry (such as scientific data such as medical imaging, astronomy and geography)

How do you plan on securing the DataCap to ensure your organization (and its delegated members) are the ones allocating the DataCap?

Please answer here.

-The safe and reasonable use of DataCap is the core of notary's work. In terms of security, we initially plan to establish a security team within the organization and implement a multi-layer authorization model at the executive level. During the test period, I hope that Protocol Labs will establish a platform for notary public information disclosure and supervision, and at the same time launch verification tools, authorized multi-signature platforms and other measures.

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet your Client to ensure they are spending that DataCap responsibly?

Please answer here.

-First of all, we need to understand the relevant information of the customer.Secondly, we require the customer to clarify the distribution method of DataCap.Form a good trust mechanism with each other again; and finally archive all information for review.We are preparing the following data record sheets for customers to provide reference for Datacap usage review and evaluation.

Customer information registration form (customer status, project progress)
Datacap requirement application form (source, quantity, use case, frequency, etc.)
Customer Credit Rating Form
Customer safety rating table
Customer Datacap individual entity allocation plan
Formation of report retention and registration

What questions will you ask to ensure the Client can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them?

Please answer here.

-In the initial testing phase, we plan to set up demand tables (including customer detailed information, demand and data attribute descriptions) for different levels of customers and regularly organize review meetings; review results will be announced through an open platform. Steps:

We plan the different qualifications of customers (from the customer information registration form and the Datacap demand application form to classify customers' credit and security levels)
Please submit project information and project progress
Customers are requested to submit a list of datacap individual entity allocations
Customers are requested to submit the Datacap single entity distribution plan
Regularly organize review meetings and publicize review results

***Regarding #Allocation Plan#, we have designed a plan of our own:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yIpR2g5F74S0YVdbjkwXypVE5c5T3a5v/edit#gid=340586181 We have prepared the gadget form for the customer to use in the application -English version of notary Public form https://www.wenjuan.com/s/UZBZJvfRwf/ -Chinese version of notary Public Form https://www.wenjuan.com/s/yQRNr28/

What processes will you employ to confirm that a Client is not improperly over-allocating DataCap to a single entity?

Please answer here.

-I believe that good systems and procedures are still needed to ensure that the work of notaries can be carried out in a fair and transparent environment. Every notary should carry out work in a cautious and pragmatic manner.I will implement the above plan and adopt the common plan of the community to ensure the reasonable distribution of DataCap; I look forward to the technical realization of these plans and processes.

Ask the customer to submit the DataCap list of individual entities and allocation plan when auditing the customer
In the process of allocation, the list of individual entities assigned to DataCap and the allocation plan should be synchronized timely
Supervise customers after the assignment.

***In addition, we add a part of the notary's scoring and management plan: "Notary's score sheet" https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yIpR2g5F74S0YVdbjkwXypVE5c5T3a5v/edit#gid=958760372

Bookkeeping Plan

Do you plan on keeping records of your allocation decisions? If so, with what level of specificity do you intend to respond to any audit requests?

Please answer here.

-Yes, I fully support the recording of the entire allocation decision, similar to publishing on GitHub or based on the Filecoin blockchain network to ensure transparency and credibility.(https://github.com/Dylan933/notary-governance)

Do you plan on conduct your allocation decisions in public (e.g. Github repo), private (e.g. over email, Telegram, etc), or both?

Please answer here.

-There is no doubt that this is also a must as a Datacap notary.

@Dylan933 - thanks for applying to be a Notary! The initial scored rubric can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_DchYgSfDoY_KLK2Iiff_TbKZ2ZTxDcZaHyA-2x62Wk/edit?usp=sharing.

The main ask you will see in the comments is to give a little more detail around the implementation or some frameworks behind the tooling/processes you plan to create for the Allocation Plan section of the application. Column H has additional details for you to look through.

Please also note that there is a rubric change coming in https://github.com/filecoin-project/notary-governance/pull/36 which is likely to affect your scoring (especially around Industry Reputation). Thanks!

Dylan933 commented 3 years ago

@dkkapur Hi Kapur, I'd like to elaborate a little bit more on the questions that are involved in grading, and I hope to answer your questions. First, Reference questions: About #Time Commitment#, # in-Protocol Reputation#, #External Reputation#。

The second also supplemented the specific allocation plan and plan of the notary. Reference question: About #Use Case Diversity#、#Concreteness of Allocation Plan#

Third, we have also added a plan related to Filecoin notary scoring and management. The above is a further answer to these questions, thank you for your suggestions.
