New Infrastructure, New Opportunities 2020 Supercomputing and Distributed Storage Industry Summit - Ningbo Station

On August 29, 2020, a reporter from Wabi.com had the honor to interview Liu Shengxin, founder and CTO of Particle Vision, at the 2020 Supercomputing and Distributed Storage Industry Summit in Ningbo, and discussed distributed storage. The following is the original interview.

CoinWise: First of all, thank you for the invitation from Interstellar Vision. We have the honor to interview Liu Shengxin, the founder and CTO of Particle Vision. Hello, Mr. Liu, please introduce yourself and your company. Thank you.

Liu Shengxin: Hello everyone, hello to Wabi.com, we are Ningbo Particle Vision Technology Co., Ltd. Although the company is young, we have been preaching in the field of IPFS for 3 years. I am Liu Shengxin, the founder and CTO of Particle Vision, and I am also a BTC miner who entered the industry in 2009. I also hope to take this opportunity to share with more IPFS enthusiasts.

Miningcoin.com: As the concept of distributed storage is very popular now, many people have entered this field. How do you view the competition from peers and different industries?

Liu Shengxin: We are not worried about competition from peers. A truly global consensus blockchain requires more ecosystem builders. If practitioners or computing power are too concentrated, it will not be a good promotion for the entire blockchain technology and projects. For different industries or traditional POW/POC/POS, the consensus mechanism of IPFS POST has countless advantages. Whether in terms of economic model, energy consumption cost, or the social value generated by an application, IPFS is irreplaceable.

MiningCoin.com: In your opinion, how much overlap is there between distributed storage users and traditional POW users?

Liu Shengxin: I think that in the future POW will only be a subset of POST, and most of it is in the POW field, but the part that does not overlap is the unique charm of Filecoin IPFS. In fact, our research found that the entire mining mechanism of Filecoin IPFS already has all the concepts of POW/POC/POS, such as phased packaging, which uses AMD's CPU with hardware instruction level to do packaging acceleration, which is infinitely close to ASIC mining machines. In addition, GPU is required for zero-knowledge proof, which is why ETH Ethereum has no ASIC so far. Another thing is the staking mechanism.
