IPFs is a file transfer protocol similar to http. If IPFs wants to run, it needs many computers (storage devices) in the network as nodes. In a broad sense, all participating computers can be called IPFs mining machines
in order to attract more users to join the IPFs network and contribute to the network, an encryption currency named filecoin is designed, which is distributed to the participants (nodes) as a reward according to the amount of contributed storage space and bandwidth. In a narrow sense, the computer specially designed for the purpose of obtaining the filecoin reward is called IPFs mining machine
because IPFs network needs storage space and network bandwidth, in order to obtain the highest profit ratio, IPFs mining machine usually strengthens the storage space and reces the power consumption of the whole machine. For example, more than 10 high-capacity hard disks are equipped, Gigabit or higher speed network cards are equipped, and ultra-low power architecture processors are used
of course, the mining machine provides storage services, so it can obtain revenue. The size of revenue is related to the configuration of mining machinery and the number of IPFs mining machinery
extended data
the reasons why it is not recommended to invest in IPFs are as follows:
1. IPFs technology is too early to be commercialized
IPFs now takes up a lot of bandwidth. IPNs is very slow at present, which is an obvious technical defect. It will be very difficult to realize dynamic web pages only through IPFs
There is no reasonable economic model, even if the token economy is added, it is difficult to realize the long-term natural ecological valueas a very cumbersome decentralized protocol, it is difficult for users to share files autonomously and spontaneously. In addition, even if users share files into the protocol, the files will be completely open and users cannot delete files effectively, so the security of valid files is threatened
the solution is to introce encryption and blockchain incentive mechanism. At the same time, it solves the security and storage power problems of files. However, as mentioned before, any node with workload proof under blockchain incentive mechanism will face an economic problem of continuous power on state
It is difficult to establish an ecological network with IPFs as the core under the influence of technical problems The ecological application space ofIPFs is quite limited, and the project interaction speed realized by IPFs protocol is also very slow. Of course, it has a direct relationship with the number of nodes and the distance of calling
zcash, full name zero cash, short for Zec, Chinese name big zero coin, developed by zooko Wilcox, was born on November 9, 2011
using zero knowledge proof mechanism to provide complete payment confidentiality is the most anonymous digital asset at present. At present, the time cycle of zcash anonymous transfer is relatively long, which takes about 20 minutes. The network can choose ordinary transfer or anonymous transfer, which has an impact on the level of privacy protection
most of the codes of zcash are very similar to bitcoin. For example, it is halved every four years, with a total of 21 million. Zcash has further improved the anonymity function of bitcoin. When it was released, it caused a sensation in the field of cryptography and blockchain. As a result, its price soared to more than seven times of bitcoin when it was first born. Zcash adopts POW consensus mechanism, block time is 2.5 minutes, block reward is 12.5 zecs, 20% of mining income in the first four years is automatically allocated to zcash team and investors.

Big zero coin (Zec) is a modified branch based on bitcoin version 0.11.2, which retains bitcoin's original mode and was released on October 28, 2016
