The Filecoin Foundation, the entity behind the decentralized storage project, Filecoin, has launched its ‘Filecoin Discover’ cryptoeconomic project that aims to seed the Filecoin network before a full network launch, expected later this year. The project means that parties interested in becoming Filecoin miners can purchase 8 TB hard drives at $265 each that contain ‘public good’ data such as climate and genomic data with which they can offer via the network in return for network rewards.
