According to official news, Filecoin will launch the mainnet when it reaches block 148888, which is expected to be on the evening of October 15th, which means that the "king of heaven" project that the community has been waiting for for three years will finally usher in a milestone progress .
To welcome this moment, many trading platforms, including Binance, OKEx and Huobi, have successively announced that they will officially open FIL transactions on October 15. As the mainnet is approaching, many blockchain media They have also prepared live broadcast events, and investors have also made predictions about the performance of FIL after its launch.
On the eve of the launch of the Filecoin mainnet, Rhythm BlockBeats chatted with Jemin, a senior Filecoin miner. Different from the general enthusiastic pursuit in the market, Jamin expressed deep concerns about the Filecoin project. He admitted to Rhythm BlockBeats that the mainnet will be launched tonight, but he feels that "this project is going to die."
Mortgage currency is the first threshold for miners to enter the market
In his sharing, Jamin said that regarding the two news that have been intensively reported by the media in the past two days-the official lowering the entry threshold for mining machines, and the official compensation to miners whose Filecoin available balance is negative, so that miners can enter There is no news of any liabilities before the mainnet—the impact is not large, and it still cannot solve the most important problem: mortgage coins. He said, "Big miners still have the computing power of the space race, while small miners have nothing." To make matters worse, the project has recently introduced a series of policies that benefit big miners, which are actually very detrimental to the health of the entire ecosystem.
It is understood that according to the design of Filecoin, for every 1T increase in effective computing power, the initial pledge of 32 FIL is required. According to the current price of multiple platforms, the current futures price of FIL is about 33 US dollars, and the price of some platforms is even as high as $200, which means that miners may need to pay another fee on top of the mining machine in order to sequester at full speed.

It is understood that on October 14th, a Filecoin pre-fork project named "Filecash" has been launched. According to the official statement, a 4-week mortgage-free mining will start from now on. Criticism of the mortgage currency issue, but one day has passed, and there seems to be no discussion about the project in the community. Although there are rumors that a certain online trading platform will be launched, as of now, no trading platform has officially announced that it will support the currency.
"I think Filecoin is killing itself, giving many opportunities for forked coins."
The closer the mainnet goes live, the more worried Jemin becomes. In his view, the rules of Filecoin are basically formulated based on the project party's own wishes, "such as directly using the test currency as the currency of the main network."
At the beginning of September this year, the official stated in the global community online conference call that the main network code will be frozen. According to official news, from September 4th, the main network code will no longer update the function, and the miners will test the fit between the equipment and the test and finally optimize it, and the code will be frozen on September 30th.
But to this day, the official has not disclosed the latest code. According to the follow-up statement of Filecoin core developer "Why", the code base will never be frozen.

At present, the rules for the launch of the entire main network are not yet clear, and everyone does not know what the detailed rules are. Prepare.
As for some of the recent initiatives of the project party, he also has a different view. "We are actually the beneficiaries of the official series of operations during this period, but in the long run, we hope that the entire ecology will develop healthily and benignly, so that we can maximize the benefits of our years of investment in this field. It is not because of official hasty decision-making, and ultimately let the entire ecology bear the consequences.
After several twists and turns and delays, the Filecoin mainnet will finally be launched today, but in the face of this highly anticipated project, many people have expressed confusion: what are the parameters of the economic model and the release mechanism? What is the return cycle of miners?
