Thanks for your request!
Everything looks good. 👌

A Governance Team member will review the information provided and contact you back pretty soon.

The initial request for 5 PiB using a newly created account and without establishing trust within the community is concerning. I highly recommend close the application and reconsider by starting with a smaller amount to build credibility and trust before making larger requests.

Advising notaries not to engage.

• Have you prepared enough token for sector pledge?
• Are you a data preparer? What is your previous experience as a data-preparer? List previous applications and client IDs
• How will the data be prepared? Please include tooling used and technical details
• If you are not preparing the data, who will prepare the data? (Name and Business)
• Has this dataset been stored on Filecoin before? If so, why are you choosing to store it again?
• Best practice for storing large datasets includes ideally, storing it in 3 or more regions, with 4 or more storage provider operators or owners.You should list Miner ID, Business Entity, Location of sps you will cooperate with.

• Have you prepared enough token for sector pledge?

• Yep, I believe they are ready.

• Are you a data preparer? What is your previous experience as a data-preparer? List previous applications and client IDs
• How will the data be prepared? Please include tooling used and technical details
• If you are not preparing the data, who will prepare the data? (Name and Business)

• We have a proprietary enterprise storage server where all of our enterprise data is currently stored.
  We will give the server port corresponding to the sp to be cooperated, and let them download the data we need to store from the port. The ip of these sps will be whitelisted by us to ensure our data security.

• Has this dataset been stored on Filecoin before? If so, why are you choosing to store it again?

• We have submitted an application form before, and that application form [DataCap Application] ZKLink #1307 has been approved, but it seems that due to some bugs, our f1 address has not received the dc. However, no one responded to our application form. It's been too long, so I have to close it, and resubmitting it is a quicker solution. We have prepared the relevant data and processes and can start again at any time.

• Best practice for storing large datasets includes ideally, storing it in 3 or more regions, with 4 or more storage provider operators or owners.You should list Miner ID, Business Entity, Location of sps you will cooperate with.

@ZKLink2022,

There are ongoing disputes regarding the miners you have provided, and many of them have been involved in numerous questionable applications that are highly likely to be abusive. Additionally, you have not addressed the inquiries made by Sunny regarding personal and business names, or even mine..

Due to these concerns, the community lacks complete trust in your entity. As a recommendation, I suggest following the steps that any entity in a similar position should take in order to earn the trust of the community:

1. Seek out storage providers in different regions who are willing to store your data and ensure retrievability. Making sure these SP's are not on a blacklist/abuselist.
2. Start with a smaller data request, such as 100T, and ask for the community's signature. I'm willing to assist you with this.
3. Store your data, showcase its retrievability, value, and distribution! (not fake VPN)
4. If everything goes well and you can establish trust, you can request additional datacap. I'll be the first one to offer my assistance.

[ZKLink2022]

I have explained these issues and passed the review a long time ago. Now I have to answer the same question again. Is the efficiency of the community too low?

@Sunnyiscoming Appreciate it if you could support us.
