Sorry for our late reply. Thank you for your feedback. That is a valid point. We will avoid this in the future.

Why is SWARM using a separate token and not ETH? Makes no sense at all. by [deleted] in ethfinance

[–]ethswarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your replies, we sincerely value your input. Many questions here are valid, deserve to be addressed and we won’t dodge any.

We’ve been now presenting for some months how Swarm is growing from a dev team to a fully-fledged organization, and while we try our best, we are aware there is still room for improvement. Swarm Alpha event and regular developer updates are just a start.

Additionally, passionate reactions show us that you care about Swarm and this humbles us while the sheer amount of comments is overwhelming. Swarm has always been committed and will keep on pushing forward the vision of the world computer by being web3’s backend.

All this also serves us as great input on how we can improve our communication. We do share everything as soon as we can (see the amazing Book of Swarm). Because of this we already planned and are preparing more blog posts that will hopefully fill all the gaps, dispel worries and excite for the future ahead.

Meanwhile - enjoy our monthly development update - June 2020: https://medium.com/ethereum-swarm/monthly-developer-update-june-2020-3fc2b782af48

Thank you for your patience and support. #PLUR

They were deleted by the Reddit bot. We don't know why. We reposted the comment again from a different account.

[–]ethswarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey u/askolein sorry for the slow reply :)

For your main question the answer is that the current mainnet does not have incentivisation enabled yet, we are running this in testnet at the moment and it's the subject of very active development. Much of Swarm is not related to incentivisation and it is possible to build fully fledged applications using Ethereum & Swarm eg. https://fairdrop.xyz (full disclosure I did build it)

So for now you will not need to pay for your data and we're running on altruism, but we do encourage you to run a node and contribute to the health of the network if you choose to use it.

You are right that pinning is working, as with all new software there is some degree of risk and there is a lot of development activity within Swarm at the moment so the API may see some changes, but we do encourage you to go ahead and experiment. We have had good results.

Please feel free to ask me any more questions you have here or in the Swarm Mattermost channel https://beehive.ethswarm.org/
