A few things to note about Juan Benet:
1) Filecoin uses “Proof of Replication” and “Proof of Spacetime” to verify that storage providers are actually storing users’ data.
2) The Filecoin white paper was first made public in July 2014, and a revised version was released in 2017.
3) Be especially cautious of claims of fixed returns from storage mining. Actual returns depend on the price of FIL, staking costs, and competition across the network.
$FIL is the native token of the Filecoin network, and storage fees are settled in $FIL .
