You could say a channel is similar to a repository.

In filefilego, storage providers can store data which can be then retrieved by other peers using the file hash. This part of the system is completely off-chain meaning that file hashes are not stored anywhere.

Now here comes the concept of Channels. Let's assume that I am selling my own ML models which are 2TB of data, I could create a channel called "MLModels XYZ" and create different subchannels and categories. In those subchannels you can create entries which are basically posts, or upload files/folders.

Channels are public and if some files are uploaded to a channel, they are first uploaded to a storage provider and then the hash is included in the channels posts/files this way they point back to the file hash (the data will be on-chain)

Please read the docs here: https://filefilego.com/documentation/docs/

thanks for explaining

i cloned filefilego cli from github and i am exploring the code so far its well written. i managed to run the cli and the ui easily

i started a 48 tb storage node on my server what is the right fee to use? am i going to get paid automatically?

You choose your fees, i recommend for now 0.1-0.2 FFG per GB. High fees might be against you since users might pick someone cheaper.

About the payment, yes it's automated and part of the verification algorithm. When the downloader asks decryption key from the verifier, it sends a signature of the local file and by that time the verifier knows if the file is the requested file.

The fees will be unlocked immediately and sent to storage provider
