I have a beast a monster and it looks like I can mine it but staking makes me not want to do it.
A amd threadripper 3970x
128gb ram
nvidia 3090 gpu
I would add 3x 4tb ssd as that is cheap compared to the other parts
I spent a long time looking at requirements and I find 2 issues
1)going off line fucks you hard. My 200 speed optimum cable goes off line often.
2)There is a second problem you store info for people you don't know.
If your government decides to knock on your door in the name of security to find what is on your pc files they would legally have cause. I do not want my friendly FBI or homeland security telling me my files hold nasty stuff for nasty people.
Hmm, it's strange that the team behind Filecoin haven't thought about this? I guess everything you store will be encrypted or even diversified between many different users and can only be compiled to the original file only by the initial uploader... IDK, just thinking out loud.
Maybe somebody from the team could help us and enlighten us regarding this issues?
