Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Filecoin: A Decentralized Storage Network |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A market for storage and a separate market for retrieval, with proofs that a replica is still held. |
| Who may write | Miners who take deals. Consensus power in the paper is tied to storage, not to an empty hash. |
| What is settled | Deals and proofs. Not a promise about a later network's price or durability. |
| Load-bearing assumption | The proofs bind a miner to a specific replica over time, as the paper defines them. |
| What this library says afterwards | The 2017 text was in progress. The 2014 PDF is a different file. |
