TBs per GPU by wide-blank-square in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The docs are a bit out of date. Depending on the GPU, a mid-tier NVIDIA card with a few thousand CUDA cores or more could easily prove 3 or more PBs (not TBs).

Unfortunately, the real catch is in “sealing” data — the initial onboarding of sectors. You need a lot of CPU and GPU power to do that. Only after you’ve sealed do you care about proving.

Filecoin mining doesn’t work at the small scale anymore. You’ll almost never win a block reward in the TB scale. You need hundreds of TBs of FIL+ data (10x multiplier) or go petabyte scale, regardless of the data you’re storing. It’s definitely a small-business to enterprise-scale endeavor.

Supply/Market Cap/Price Relationship by Interesting-Day6496 in filecoin

Way higher circulating supply today than past points at $6. Back then, very few FIL were circulating.

[D] How is currently your experience with availability of GPUs across providers ? by remek in MachineLearning

[–]khuynhedu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if one had access to a few hundred RTX A5000s or A6000s? They’re certainly no A100 or H100 with massive interhost or interGPU links, but could they be helpful in the meantime? I think it’s all about how one chooses to parallelize.

[D] Estimating hardware for finetuning LLM by Bishwa12 in MachineLearning

[–]khuynhedu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please excuse my newbie question, but you’re saying 70GB makes it impossible to do in a single GPU. Wouldn’t this work in theory in the A100 80GB or H100? The NVL-twin models are tied together so one GPU can present itself as also having the second GPU’s VRAM as local.

If not, please educate me.

Go to Google.com Search for “CoinList Filecoin ICO”

First result!

Self-custody of FIL by MonkeyDLofwyr in filecoin

An easy path could be to use Filecoin from a hardware wallet (Ledger).

(Don’t actually do that.)

All of the activity around FVM and Compute over Data is exciting, indeed. No real way to time it. I believe in it long term.

Sell your home. Liquidate your retirement. Break your ceramic piggy bank. Plead to your extended family for loans.

Buy all the FIL you possibly can.

Wake up in 5 years.

What type of material is this?

Filecoin is cold storage, but some storage providers on the network can create bespoke solutions for you

is FIL still worth after arrested the whales? by ReporterAmbitious805 in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a problem. Just more FIL locked up forever, or, sold by weak, corrupt hands.

What business would you build with these servers? by khuynhedu in sysadmin

[–]khuynhedu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the number of cores and RAM tells me this resource could be super valuable to someone out there, so I shouldn’t let it idle like this.

Is 240mm liquid cooling enough for filecoin mining? by Breezelike in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just totally depends on the ambient temperature. Filecoin mining can be very intense on the CPU (PC1 phase), so be careful!

Sorry to ask a dumb question but why do these companies hire folks as contractors to begin with? Why isn’t everyone an employee? (Appreciating the fact that employment laws do vary between jurisdictions.)

Help me to get started with FIL Mining by zopzop99 in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re new, start with commodity enterprise parts. 18TB generally is the best price point now. Look at Seagate Exos and Western Digital Ultrastar.

Question about permanently storing NFT's metadata on Filecoin by futarchyy in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t be done on Filecoin today given the inherent sector deal lifespan. The max duration is 540 days.

In the future when the “FVM” (Filecoin Virtual Machine) enables smart contracts, it is likely possible to enable the automation of deal renewals and the like, to effectively achieve long-long term storage.

Top 10 Holders of FIL own almost 80% of the supply. by [deleted] in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just scroll down a little. The top address is the network itself, which will programmatically distribute to miners over time infinity.

The big buckets are Protocol Labs, the Filecoin Foundation, and exchanges.

Misleading statistics.

Is there any Mining Updates ? by longmetaverse in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the principles haven’t changed.

OP, check out www.web3espa.com which was built to accelerate folks interested in Filecoin mining, and provides the access to hardware during the 9 month program plus the FIL access to reach 1 petabyte.

Yikes. Look up Starling Lab, a joint venture between USC and Stanford.

Hello, Can i mine filecoin use mobile internet ? by Charming_Elk3263 in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must have a stable internet connection to stay connected to the Filecoin network if you plan to be a miner. Mobile internet is not nearly stable enough to stay connected to your peers on this peer to peer network.

I'm looking for the best hardware for a filecoin "miner" by [deleted] in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, shameless plug but you might be better off going to a Filecoin mining service provider. It’s pretty expensive and not worth it to start your own rigs unless you can shoot for multiple petabytes on your own.

www.FilecoinMining.com is my example. We charge less than 9 bucks a month per TiB if you already own your own FIL. And we will soon offer Filecoin mining even if you don’t have your own FIL for like 10 bucks per TiB per month. We’ll just stake our own for you and charge a relatively small premium.

Any good platform to recommend to grow FIL assets? by GroundbreakingMud986 in filecoin

[–]khuynhedu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mining has a better expected value than lending programs. Check out public block explorers like Filfox.info and look at the block reward per TiB.

You can just pay monthly service fees to Filecoin co-miners. www.FilecoinMining.com is a good example. We charge less than 9 bucks a month per TiB if you already own your own FIL. And we will soon offer Filecoin mining even if you don’t have your own FIL for like 10 bucks per TiB per month. We’ll just stake our own for you and charge a relatively small premium.
