Analysis: Cluster Construction for Filecoin Storage Mining
In the Internet, "cluster" refers to a tightly connected, layered architecture of integrated software and hardware, coordinated with each other, and then deploying the same application and service in multiple servers to jointly complete a certain task. Filecoin mining works based on this principle.
In order to maintain the long-term and stability of the network, the Filecoin team designed a complex proof system and economic model on the structure of the entire project. The above-mentioned "cluster" is needed to process these complex data. A cluster composed of multiple computers will be able to process the stored data reasonably and efficiently.
According to the design of the Filecoin team, the entire storage mining process can be divided into six parts.
■ Get storage order
■ Data encapsulation, generating proof of replication
■ Store encapsulated data
■ Verify data to form effective computing power
■ Obtain the packaging right and submit the space-time certificate
■ Get block rewards

Miner
Miner will be mainly responsible for information exchange with the main network, namely WinningPoSt and WindowPoSt. WinningPoSt refers to the need to provide space-time proof to the main network when obtaining the packaging right, proving that the data stored by the user is still completely stored in the Storage, so as to obtain block rewards. WindowPoSt means that after the data is stored, a space-time certificate needs to be generated to facilitate the follow-up random check of the main network whether the data is still stored safely and completely.

Other solutions for Filecoin cluster
As a brand-new data storage and distribution network, the mission of the Filecoin network is to create a distributed, efficient and powerful foundation for human information. Therefore, the mining threshold has been created with complex algorithms, difficult operation and maintenance, and high investment costs, making miners who want to enter the market have been on the sidelines. In the previous article, Sulijun also explained the input cost of Filecoin mining. According to the cluster solutions on the market, they basically start with a few million yuan, which also makes many miners shout "can't dig". . But there is no difficult mining, only smart miners.

Summarize
It is understood that there are still unscrupulous mining machine manufacturers on the market selling mining machines under the slogan of "mining FIL with a single machine" or "dual mining with one machine". Hashpower also hopes to let the outside world watch through this article. Most miners clearly understand the complexity of Filecoin mining. Filecoin mining cannot mine FIL through a single mining machine, and it requires the cooperation of multiple computers to obtain rewards from it.
