Thanks for your request!

Heads up, you’re requesting more than the typical weekly onboarding rate of DataCap!

[large-datacap-requests]

Thanks for your request!
Everything looks good. 👌

A Governance Team member will review the information provided and contact you back pretty soon.

Dear applicant,

Thank you for applying for datacap. As Filecoin FIL+ notary i am screening your application and conducting due diligence.

Looking at your application i have some questions:
As you are brand new on Github and have no history of past applications it seems to me that applying for 5PB of datacap is a lot. One needs comprehensive knowledge of Filecoin, packing of data, distribution of data and all it's requirements coming with it. Are you brand new in the Filecoin space or have you applied for datacap in the past on different Github account names?

Can you show us visible proof of the size of your data and the storage systems you have there?

As last question i would like you to fill out this form to provide us with the necessary information to make a educated decision on your LDN request if we would like to support it.

Thanks!

Can you provide more detailed informations about SPs you will cooperate with?

@Sunnyiscoming I have contacted with some SPs, but we are just at the first step of communication. I will add more information in the future and do some distribute under the community rules.

@Lennon00
I'm the notary from Blockmaker.
I want to know how many backups you want to store. Are you ready if you get Datacap?

[Lennon00]

@BlockMakeronline Hello notary, I plan store 10 backups for this application. Yes, we are ready to start deals after we get Datacap. Look forward to your approval!

[Lennon00]

@cryptowhizzard Thank you for your comments. For privacy, I am worried to fill out the form. Thank again.

[BlockMakeronline]

I will approve it and track the process.

[MatrixStorage]

Your project is good, but I would like to ask if your SPs is ready? Would you like to show us? If you can show it to us, I can also provide a signature for your project.In addition, I hope that even if you do get Datacap, you will be able to store it in accordance with community regulations to avoid confusing your future applications.

[Lennon00]

@MatrixStorage Welcome! We are now looking for SP. I will add more information in the future and do some distribute under the community rules! Welcome to your attention!

[MatrixStorage]

I will sign it for you this time, and I will keep an eye on it. If you have any problems using datacap, I will blacklist your project.
It is also hoped that you will cooperate with the community to retrieve the stored data later.

@Wengeding & @AthSmith known abusive notaries signing of an LDN where selfdealing is clearly visible on the CID report. Can we please remove/hold the DC from closed applications asap and remove notaries from multisig?

@Filplus-govteam @Kevin-FF-USA @raghavrmadya

[cryptowhizzard]

This client is actively stalling http retrievals and blocked http ranged requests with a reverse proxy to prevent it's data being investigated.

It works as follows:

One set's a bandwidth limit with NGINX on the HTTP retrieval. After a random certain amount the limit is set to zero. This makes the transfer timeout. Because range retrieval is disabled in NGINX one cannot pick up where he left and needs to start all over again.

Hello @Lennon00 per the new guidelines filecoin-project/notary-governance#922 for Open Dataset applicants, please complete the following Fil+ registration form to identify yourself as the applicant and also please add the contact information of the SP entities you are working with to store copies of the data.

This information will be reviewed by Fil+ Governance team to confirm validity toward the Fil+ guideline of a distributed storage plan and SPs posted in the comments here. Let us know if you have any questions.

[Lennon00]

@herrehesse Please provide clear evidence about what you say. Selfdealing is clearly visible in the CID report if there is. Do not slander the others so blindly.

@cryptowhizzard Don't use any NGINX. Wrong comments.
