FFL is a hybrid fog computing platform that uses web browsers as edge nodes. The FFL network is a 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. If you wish to know more details about how it works, you can read our technical whitepaper.

You can try if you want to, however, you will only receive the tokens if the community has marked the content as useful.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The FFM token can be gained by uploading files, adding metadata, sharing free drive space or doing other things that are beneficial to the Files.fm Library. Users can spend their tokens by subscribing to pro features, buying private storage space or exchanging them for paid content, such as movies, videos, music or books.

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.

FFM tokens are based on Ethereum blockchain and built according to ERC20 standard. We will implement private chain to enable speed and avoid transaction costs.

Yes up to 50M of our tokens will be used for bounty campaigns, airdrops and marketing.

The precise date and time will be announced later, but it will happen in Q2 2019.

For the fund raising crowdsale, we accept USD, EUR currencies, BTC, ETH cryptocurrencies as well as bank wire transfer if needed.

During the inital token crowdsale, the minimum purchase amount is 10000 FFM tokens that is equivalent to $100, which will give you rights to use 100GB of Files.fm private cloud storage space for the lifetime. This is a unique offering only for the crowdsale.

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.

Currently, there are no restrictions. You need to have a valid user account and ID. You are getting to have utility token, which you can use for the cloud storage or Pro features.

In the beginning FFM token price will be 0.01 USD.

Yes, the initial token supply will be fixed. But there will be tokens minted for the useful work.

We are registered in United Kingdom and Latvia.

We will rely on user involvement to flag any files that might be posted without proper permissions and let author/authors apply for authorship and choose the type of income.

Our company is for-profit. And the Library will contain both - free and paid content. The income will be distributed to the authors, community and Files.fm according to the resources used.

No, FFM token is a utility token backed by Files.fm storage (1 token = 100MB) and it will be used as an in-service currency. The possession of the Token will allow you to access the special functionality, like pay-for-consumption storage model.

Files.fm Library is developed by the team behind the Files.fm file sharing platform. Files.fm as a company was founded at 2007 and since then it has attracted more than 750,000 registered users and more than 1,7 million unique visitors every month.

We have a long-standing experience of managing large data-flows and server loads.And that is why we are implementing hybrid-decentralized P2P web system to alleviate the load distribution.

Files.fm has already developed and tested all of the necessary components – large-scale file storage and sharing, torrent semi-decentralized support, web torrents, file shop and P2P video streaming. Just browse through https://files.fm website and try it out.

Files.fm has several long-standing partnerships that will participate in the FFL and we are looking for more opportunities to expand and collaborate with others. For partnership requests send us an e-mail to [email protected]
