Hey @jimpick - thanks for your request. Can you kindly add more information / context here on:

Thanks

yourself , e.g. include links to social media / news mentions etc

I am a software developer based in Vancouver, Canada. I have been involved in various Open Source projects since the 1990s, and recently I have specialized in distributed/decentralized web technologies such as IPFS and CRDTs.

your history working on IPFS / Filecoin, e.g. notable contributions to the community, type of engagement shown over time etc

I was previously at Protocol Labs, on both the IPFS and Filecoin teams. Currently, I am contracting with Protocol Labs to port the Lotus code for retrieval to WebAssembly for use in web browsers.

type and source of the data you (and by extension other Discover participants) are looking to store on Filecoin, e.g. public data vs private data etc

Since the early days of the Filecoin network, several times a week, I have been attempting small test storage and retrieval deals with every miner on the network and publishing the results. Several Slingshot participants as well as Protocol Labs have told me that they find my testing extremely valuable.

I have been storing a subset of Wikipedia as my test data (128MiB x 27 chunks), which I am planning to use for a web retrieval demo. I have many replicas of that stored already, so I may expand beyond that to include other interesting data sources. I am also experimenting with IPLD and Apache Arrow based analytics for data extracted from the Filecoin blockchain state (eg. lists of deals), which would be great to republish back into Filecoin.

how you intend to store the data on Filecoin, e.g. redundancy, location / miner preferences, etc

My testing is spread out across all miners that are participating in the storage market. With FIL+, many miners may only participate in FIL+ deals only, so I want to do 2 sets of testing ... one test run with unverified data, and another test run with verified data. In the future, I may try testing from multiple locations with multiple wallets.

Hey @jimpick thanks for adding additional clarity. We will award the requested datacap in the new year. Thanks

jimpick commented 3 years ago

I updated my testing scripts and used an address with some datacap via Glif/Github ... unfortunately, I used up the 8GiB in a day of testing.

It would be great if I could get this datacap applied so I can do some additional testing. It seems to have never been granted.
