The setup below is a minimal example for sealing 32 GiB sectors on Lotus:
- 2 TB of hard drive space.
- 8 core CPU
- 128 GiB of RAM
I like their Gantt chart- which have dates in it in contrast to the Maidsafe Gantt chart.
no, they are very much backwards. Look they want a 128GB ram machine at least …
Yeah at 128 GiB RAM requirements you have cut out all common households. Maybe thats just a preliminary requirement in this early testing? Otherwise their network will never be as decentralized as other common blockchains(btc etc.)

Maybe it has something to do with their “Proof of Replication”? They claim that it can not be gamed. That means that you’re actually storing the data that you claiming that you’re storing, not just fetching it from someone else if asked to retrieve that file from your storage. I haven’t looked into it, i think they are doing some just-in-time hashing on the whole data set and that’s why they need high performance storage.
