Monetization

43. Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway.:
RRM Global launched the R-DataCap10X joint packaging product where users provide Filecoin as pledge, and the platform bears cost of storage hardware, IDC service fees (electricity fees) and technical operation and maintenance services. Both parties jointly bear Gas and real data fees. Users get 50% of output income. The contract period is up to 540 days, the product is already sealed upon delivery, and the pledged Filecoin will be returned after the contract expires. The commencement of output for the product occurs immediately after the batch sale is ended, starting from the next day (T+1), where T represents the date when the batch sale is completed

44. Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.:
Please check the about us section of our website for this question https://www.rrmglobal.io/aboutUs

45. Where will accounting for fees be maintained?:
Our notary service will not incur any accounting fees.

Past Experience, Affiliations, Reputation

46. If you've received DataCap allocation privileges before, please link to prior notary applications.:
N/A

47. How are you connected to the Filecoin ecosystem? Describe your (or your organization's) Filecoin relationships, investments, or ownership.:
We offer cloud mining and IPFS storage solutions in multiple global locations. Our advanced data centers have a storage capacity of over 1,000 PiB. Our Filecoin storage mining requires powerful hardware for PoRep and PoSt mechanisms. We outsource computation to reduce the need for expensive GPUs and promote user participation through hashrate pooling.

48. How are you estimating your client demand and pathway usage? Do you have existing clients and an onboarding funnel?:
We conducted a thorough analysis of a substantial number of LDN applications, with a particular focus on the allocation of official quotas and the efficacy of data management practices. Our evaluation encompassed a comprehensive assessment of the utilization of available resources and the maintenance of our proprietary data. Our findings provide valuable insights into the optimization of LDN processes and the application of best practices in data governance.

Hi @EthanLauWJ

Wanted to send a friendly check in.
As of this comment date, haven't seen any client applications or DataCap disbursements for the organization. Inactive organizations are in the process of being reviewed to see if still wanting to remain in program. If you would like this pathway to remain active as an Allocator, kindly asking that you reply to the proposal with your timeline for onboarding pathway or plan for action to clients.

Hi @EthanLauWJ
Tonight is the final night to provide a timeline for activity to this Allocator. If we don't hear from you in filecoin-project/Allocator-Governance#6 this Allocator pathway will be sunset and you will need to reapply in order to receive DataCap again.

If you wish to remain active, please respond to Issue 6 with a timeline /or/ roadmap.

Warmly,
-Kevin
