Subgoal 2 latest sub2goals: - backup my filecoin key - make a system for backing up deal ids and hashes (data can be recovered from numeric deal id) - begin uploading things that aren't backed up - verify a valued thing can be redownloaded from fresh install, on a different system, over tor > - see if it is possible to renegotiate a deal to extend its duration. Try to extend 2210176 to 539 days from present.

Re: [ot][spam][personal] Subgoals
Subgoal replacements for subgoal 2: - backup my filecoin key - identify what information is needed to recover files starting from a fresh install - begin uploading things that aren't backed up >
Re: [ot][spam][personal] Subgoals
Subgoal 2: If helpful: - infura filecoin docs are at https://infura.io/docs/filecoin - the other host uses email to request a node - digitalocean was the filecoin-recommended cloud provider >
Re: [ot][spam][personal] Subgoals
Update for subgoal 2: - Documentation regarding lotus's "lite" mode is at https://docs.filecoin.io/build/lotus/lotus-lite/ - The example node given there is api.chain.love - glif.io and infura.io may provide nodes for pay [side note: there is another free example node mentioned somewhere, not sure where. I have a lot of data so it makes sense to not plan to tax example nodes.] Subgoals for Subgoal 2: - make or gain access to a personal filecoin wallet - upload an example file - download the example file Note: uploads to filecoin take a couple weeks to confirm
Re: [ot][spam][personal] Subgoals
Subgoal 2: Use filecoin to back up my confused/corrupt data right now Reason: this lets me repurpose my harddrives and opens my options Concern: filecoin likes having a beefy system to run. Many gigabytes of ram. [Side question: is there an existing hash database of operating system install images, pgp key fingerprints? I'm quite sure that there's a timestamped merkle tree of OS images somewhere. Maybe scan some blockchains for such things?] Question: are there public interfaces to filecoin, to preclude running a node? I think a couple tutorials indicate this. Subgoal: visit filecoin tutorials, discern the 2 public filecoin nodes I vaguely recall them indicating.
Re: [ot][spam][personal] Subgoals
Update for subgoal 1 > Options: - datacoin has very cheap rates. Its hashrate is low and there is no easy automatable interface, but it's pay-once. It's designed for small-medium data. - bitcoinsv stn is pay-once and is designed for gigabytes of data. Uploading may require running a full node - a pay-monthly blockchain like sia or filecoin could be forked to change its behavior to pay-once - others? ethereum has storage now, haven't looked at it recently
[ot][spam][personal] Subgoals
Subgoal: Make or use a way to back data up to a pay-once blockchain Reason 1: If a monthly fee is required I may lose data if I am not available to pay some month Reason 2: The only pay-monthly data chain I am aware of with reasonable pricing is filecoin, and filecoin does not have a storage interface conducive to automation, yet.
