The Problem

The volume of content has grown enormously and users need to easily store, send, copy, publish and monetise content

Content creators need to easily aggregate, manage and showcase their portfolio

Content creators should be able to take control of their content and be fairly remunerated for their work

As a result...
We have created a new content platform
to store, share and sell content with advanced file search and viable monetization options
Solution
The Files.fm platform allows users to organize and distribute their content
  1. 1. https://files.fm has integration of two decentralized frameworks:
    • - P2P-based file distribution
    • - P2P payments system including blockchain tokens
  2. 2. presenting user content in a coherent way
  3. 3. Clear meta data and convenient legal control of content

P2P content delivery
Why and how Peer-to-Peer technology is used?

The main problem with classic client-server architecture: as the number of users increases, speed drops but service costs increase.

P2P technology is used to ensure system growth and speed - to implement cost-effective content sharing:

- faster download speed
- unlimited free p2p traffic
- support thousands users
- reduce service costs

P2P video streaming example in action:
Downloading from 0 peers.
Whether it’s video, music or audiobooks, you can stream it right away.
Service usability and user experience
Our core focus is on convenience and the usability of the system.

We integrated P2P tech usage very transparently for end users – no need to learn how blockchain works or install and configure any software.

Users are able to participate in the network just by using Files.fm website. In the future, it is planned to evaluate and integrate options to buy/sell Files.fm Cloud Tokens and create wallets.

Why to use blockchain and tokens?
More convenient, faster and cheaper + the level of transparency and independence blockchain provides.

Transactions, sales and licenses are registered on a public ledger and turn immutable.

Independently exchangeable digital currency instead of internal "credit points".

Files.fm tokens allows users to become a part of the platform’s economy and value.

Token transactions cost less than credit card payments, which in turn allows users to use micropayments.

Payment systems: Cards vs Blockhain
Credit Card Transaction fee 3% + 0.30$

What is the "Files.fm Stream"?
The Files.fm Stream is a platform developed and supported by both Files.fm and the content creator community. Its goal is to offer a space and marketplace for all types of content, which can be accessed or discovered through metadata-based search.
What is a crowdsale campaign?
The crowdfunding campaign is an activity where we raise funds to programm new features and develop the service further, like integration of AI etc.
How will you use these funds?
Funds will be used to develop, maintain and extend the Files.fm Stream, public profiles, content management, as well as on marketing activities.
What is the current technical state?
Files.fm is a working platform with all the necessary base building blocks to be advanced.
Why would I use the Files.fm Stream?
To discover useful content or showcase or even sell your content on your terms and pricing.
What is the minimum funding you need?
Files.fm is self-sufficient and cash-flow positive. We want to raise additional funds for faster development and marketing. Crowdsale’s desired amount to raise is $1M. If we will raise more, it will help us grow and market faster. If we raise less, less money will be used for marketing.
Why do you need blockchain?
To enable transparent, fast and cost effective peer-to-peer payments system and micropayments.
Can you explain the platform a bit more?
Files.fm computing platform that uses web browsers as edge nodes for temporary storage. This forms semi-decentralized network, made up of classic cloud storage servers, P2P super-nodes and end-user nodes, that users join via web browser, desktop client or mobile app to store files and share them with other community members on the platform.
Can upload my whole hard drive?
You can try if you want to, however, you will only receive the tokens if the community has marked the content as useful.
Will you have any guidelines for tagging or quality control?
Of course. We will allow the community users to tag uploaded content as useful or not, safe/unsafe, add meta tags. Detailed guidelines will be released along with the beta release of Library. And we will rely on the community’s opinion as well.
Will I have to pay for the files?
The creators of the content will be allowed to set a price or choose to earn via ads. Only files that have been copyrighted and with price will have to be bought. The price of these files will be determined by the copyright holder. Public files will be available for everyone and users who upload them will receive FFM tokens, that can be later exchanged for copyrighted files. So if you help FFL grow, you will be able to access paid files using the tokens you earned.
Why hybrid-decentralized? Wouldn’t it be easier to just use either centralized or P2P networks?
The biggest problem with using centralized servers is the heavy load and potential crashes or downtime, while files on P2P networks often don’t have any seeders. We use hybrid-decentralized technology to ensure fast download and upload speeds and file remaining accessible even if the server goes down or there are no peers. To make file accessibility more convenient, FFL users will be able to watch videos straight from the website without downloading them, using hybrid-decentralized streaming technology. P2P blockchain tokens are needed to enable direct payments between users and ease heavy-weight banking mechanisms and fees.
How can you be sure that those who check the file quality will do a good job?
In order to determine the validity of the content usefulness, consensus must be reached between most of the evaluators. When it has been reached, both the evaluators in agreement and the file uploader (if the uploads are useful) will receive their tokens.
Will you have a desktop client? What about a mobile app?
We will have a website, a desktop client and a mobile app. Public files will be available for everyone, without the need to register or download anything. All files will be accessible from any of these platforms.
What kind of files can be uploaded?
You can upload almost any file type, however, the most common file types can be streamed (opened) straight from the browser, without the need to download.
What does your token do?
The Files.fm token allows you to use permanent cloud storage. Eventually, users will be able to use the token to pay for content or platform services.
Why are there are lot of your tokens locked?
They are reserved for user/community rewards, future growth support and potential investment rounds, based on the platform growth mainly in terms of users, storage and content.
What technology will it be built on?
Files.fm tokens are based on Ethereum blockchain and built according to ERC20 standard. We are exploring the use of cheaper and faster methods.
Will you have a bounty program?
Yes, as part of marketing campaigns. Some tokens will be used for bounty campaigns to incentivize user marketing.
When is the token sale?
The precise date and time of stages will be announced - follow our news on social media.
What currencies are accepted?
For the fund raising crowdsale, we accept USD, EUR currencies, BTC, ETH cryptocurrencies as well as bank wire transfer if needed.
What is the minimum purchase during the crowdsale?
During the inital token crowdsale, the minimum purchase amount is 10`000 FFM tokens that is equivalent to 100 USDC$, which will give you rights to use 1000 GB of Files.fm private cloud storage space for the lifetime. This is a unique offering only for the crowdsale.
What is the total token supply?
The total token supply will be 10 billion, out of which 2 billion will be available for the initial crowdsale. We will add more tokens to the system, as we will add more storage petabytes and users will upload more content along the way.
