This article is written by IPFS Force Zone At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the government whitewashed the country and made it a peaceful and prosperous place. Song Jiang was a bailiff in Yuncheng County, Jizhou. When his mistress discovered that he was in contact with Liangshan, the government forced him to kill her and he fled to Liangshan... The 108 heroes of Houliangshan gathered together to rebel against the imperial court, and the people cheered. Finally, Song Jiang was recruited due to a momentary change of mind, and was given poisoned wine, and the 108 people were almost destroyed. A thousand years later, on August 19, 2020, Beijing time, the time of the Filecoin Space Race was finally confirmed. Amid the community’s jubilation, undercurrents were surging. “I think people who know Chinese history will know what I want to do after seeing my name.” Song Jiang in the Filecoin era openly declared in Slack: Song Jiang: I am a Filecoin miner and have participated in all the testnets of Filecoin. But the more I participate, the more disappointed I am. Filecoin has become a "centralized" storage project. I hope to use the attack to wake everyone up and open their eyes to see the current Filecoin. Just like Song Jiang in the Northern Song Dynasty, I hope to make the numb miners realize that this project has "changed beyond recognition." In response, the imperial court, oh no, the official “salt bearers” @Why and @ZX responded: ①This is an insult to Filecoin!! I’ll roll my eyes at you (￣ヘ￣o＃) ② Of course, attacking the big miners is a good idea. If you want to try it, just give it a try! We won’t stop you! ③ Don't worry, he can't attack everyone, the cost of attack is very high! ! Higher than 4.1 million FIL... Of course, the Force Intelligence Agency also made an analysis of the DDOS and forks mentioned by Song Jiang. The principle of DDoS attack is: you have a server and I have a personal computer. I will use my personal computer to send a large amount of spam to your server, congesting your network and increasing your burden of processing data, thereby causing resource congestion and eventually paralyzing the server. The main mature defense measures currently include: network security; firewall system; optimization of routing and network structure; hiding IP; and installation of detection tools. Although DDoS attacks are still effective so far, as @Why said, the cost of attacks is too high : the specific price of DDoS attack services depends on the attack target, location, duration and traffic source; through the analysis of 360 security experts, it is known that the cost of a large-scale DDoS attack is difficult to calculate, but higher-cost DDoS has certain characteristics , such as : more attack source computers and IP addresses, large attack traffic and long duration. Forking is simple. Now that the Filecoin mainnet is about to be launched, the code (open source) is almost complete, and forking can be done by adding (or subtracting) a little bit. On the one hand, you can directly "copy" the Filecoin code, and on the other hand, you can take advantage of the popularity of Filecoin's decentralized storage, which seems much more "smart" than developing it from scratch. But it is difficult to surpass the original chain. Any popular large project will be forked. Haven’t BTC and ETH been forked? But how many forks can surpass the original version? This is true for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. In the final analysis, it is mainly technology, because the later stage of forking requires real technical upgrades. We cannot keep making a forked project that is convenient for miners but keeps copying the Filecoin code. At the same time , if you want to fork, you must have abundant capital, serious code loopholes, computing power support, "fierce conflicts", and economic benefits that are difficult to measure. After all, forking is also for selling coins and mining machines to make money, so the threshold is not low. Consensus is difficult to break. As the leading project of distributed storage, Filecoin has been developing and preaching for three years. Its vision of becoming a distributed network for storing the most important information of human society has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and consensus has been formed. It is not easy to change a person's mind, and it is even more difficult to shake the consensus of everyone. Finally, I end this article with a soul-searching question from a Chinese miner↓↓↓ Statement: This article is an original article from IPFS Force District.
