Filecoin is the value medium of IPFS, all services of IPFS network value are traded through Filecoin, and storage and retrieval services are purchased by purchasing Filecoin, so Filecoin is the embodiment of IPFS value.
In the early days of Filecoin, everyone seemed to see the early bitcoin and actively participated in the mining of Filecoin by miners, hoping to become a member of the link at the earliest. Everyone has an idea. The earlier you enter, the more you dig, and this idea will be certain. Just like the drivers who made Didi in the early days, everyone can make a vat, because there will be many rewards, and Filecoin will also formulate many reward policies. Therefore, it is best to choose the best mining machine now, and there are few IPFS hard disk mining machines on the market now.
When IPFS storage miners provide storage services, they need to provide FIL as collateral. If they can't meet the needs of users to obtain data after receiving the order, the mortgage token will be deducted. Retrieve miners' tokens without collateral.
