We are excited to announce the release of v1.0.0 beta BTFS BTT. This release allows users running a go-btfs daemon to participate as either file Renters or Hosts. A summary of the new Renting, Hosting, and File Storage features is listed below.
Renting Features
User Guide: https://docs.btfs.io/docs/rent-storage-on-btfs
- Renter uploads files - Renters can select storage length and upload a file to the BTFS network. The file is then sharded and stored among 30 reputable hosts.
- Renter retrieves files - Renter can retrieve the stored file from the BTFS storage network.
Hosting Features
User Guide: https://docs.btfs.io/docs/run-a-btfs-host
- Host Configuration - Hosts can configure their storage time and storage capacity.
File Storage Features
- BTFS monitors stored file persistency - The BTFS network keeps track of which files are sharded onto which hosts. It will periodically challenge hosts using proof of storage to ensure the file shard is still stored and accessible.
- BTFS pro-actively repairs files deemed at risk - If the BTFS network discovers a file’s missing shards have exceeded a threshold, it will pro-actively repair that file.
- BTFS network scores potential hosts - The BTFS network scores all potential file hosts with a score based on behavioral traits like uptime, availability, location, etc. This ensures renters have access to the highest quality hosts.
