becoming a filecoin storage provider

Any person or organization can become a storage provider by running a ‘miner,’ i.e. any internet-connected computer with spare disk space, or a dedicated system with lots of storage built specifically for Filecoin. Protocol Labs offers resources such as quarterly meetings, bootcamp videos, accelerators, and events to help Storage Providers succeed. Additionally, they provide solutions such as Seagate Systems Leasing, Accelerating Performance with state-of-the-art hardware, and CoinList, to make it easier for Storage Providers to access Filecoin and scale operations. Storage providers earn Filecoin by storing data for clients, and computing cryptographic proofs to verify storage across time. 1 2 3
