No hash is published. This build does not store those PDF bytes, so a checksum would be invented. Where a legacy path exists, it points at the Internet Archive copy of the old library.

Direct answer

The library holds the Sia storage paper by Vorick and Champine. The index subtitle is simple decentralised storage.

It is not the Filecoin 2017 paper. Contracts for stored data are the idea the library is pointing at.

Why it is in the corpus

  • Storage papers in this library should not be collapsed into one product.

Where to read

Legacy path remains. Full text is not republished.

Full text

Full text is not published on this page. Public availability is not a licence to republish a document. Blockchain Lab has not recorded a licence that permits an HTML transcription, a training set, or a retrieval corpus of the paper. Text on this page is Blockchain Lab's own wording, or a pointer to a study that is also Blockchain Lab's wording.

Claims and assumptions

Blockchain Lab's reading of what the document is doing. Not a quotation and not the source text.

  • The library presents it as decentralised storage with contracts between renters and hosts.

Assumptions

  • Hosts storing the file, and a penalty if they do not, are the mechanism. This page has not re-opened the proofs.

What changed

Later software is not this PDF.
