Long-Term Network Alignment

Time Commitment

Describe the nature and duration of your affiliation with the Filecoin network. Please include relevant GitHub handles, Storage Provider IDs, and significant projects or contributions (with links).

1.	When I worked in UnionPay in 2016, I found the IPFS protocol and started paying attention to PL. At that time, I worked as a big data analyst in UnionPay, which is a joint organization of China bank cards established by the People's Bank of China and with the approval of the State Council.
2.	During my work in 2016, I looked up a large number of documents to seek solutions to massive data storage security and customer privacy issues. Then IPFS came into my eyes, which can solve the centralization fault and make data storage safer and longer. Not only did I share IPFS with my friends but I also decide to introduce top talent to establish laboratories and start-up businesses together. The laboratory members include mathematical scientists currently ranked 2.3% in the world's largest Kaggle, software and hardware development expert with over 15 years experience, founding partner of IBC capital, blockchain ecosystem investor with the academic background of Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, University of Hong Kong and other famous schools and also with employment background of Baidu, Google and other high-tech companies. From then on, I devoted myself to the research of IPFS underlying protocol.
3.	It is known to us all that PL created a decentralized storage network called file coin in 2017. I had been involved in the Filecoin community from the beginning of its establishment and participate with my friends in the 2017 ICO of Filecoin.
4.	Subsequently, I participated in the early testing before resetting and gave official feedback. During the DVnet, we found several major bugs, such as 100% block generation, drift attack, chain synchronization attack, etc.; during the testnet, we analyzed the reasons for the infinite chain bug and manually targeted elimination of specific nodes bug and provide a test-passed fix solution and key log analysis. For the most important implementations such as lotus and go-filecoin, we also contributed to them. ）
5.	We also poured attention to the confusion of some Chinese miners. As a result, we have established several IPFS Chinese ecological WeChat groups, and have responded to some miners' problems from time to time in the official community and WeChat groups to solve relevant difficulties. We also held many online AMA and offline salons to popularize and promote Filecoin. 
6.	Our contribution to ecology goes beyond that. 1475 block browser was developed for a clear overview of miners' status. 1475 fund was set up to invest in applications that are beneficial to ecology. 1475 cloud was created based on distributed storage. We will never stop contribution to IPFS-Filecoin ecology. 
7.	In addition, we are committed to the construction of verified data storage of Filecoin. As a notary, we have been promoting the Filecoin plus project to the outside world and connecting with the companies applying for verified data to understand their storage intention. For example, we contacted Taopaipai, the world's leading o2o travel photography company, and learned that they wanted to use Filecoin to reduce storage costs and access their photographic data. We have also created a data company to connect the data of traditional enterprises to the Filecoin network through our technology.

Industry Reputation

In-protocol Reputation

Please describe (in detail) your activity and tenure as a member of the Filecoin community. Please note (with links where possible) any contributions made to implementations of Filecoin, the spec, documentation, or to substantially help the Filecoin ecosystem grow.

After I devoted myself to the underlying protocol in 2016, we established star ecology to let more people understand and support IPFS, at which a group of traditional stock investors who are interested in IPFS gathered. To promote IPFS, we established 1475 lab and 1475 ecology funds to invest in some ecology applications based on IPFS to support the implementation of those applications. So far, we have 100k+ members of star ecology. 1475 block, 1475 cloud, and other applications born for IPFS ecology. Meanwhile, we support many development teams of ecology applications so that there will be more applications based on IPFS in the future.

With the emergence of more and more enthusiasts, we established several 1475 ecology WeChat Group and used our professional knowledge to answer some miners' questions in the community and WeChat Group from time to time. Moreover, we held so many online AMAs, with the highest frequency of 26 AMAs per month. Offline salon activities are held regularly every Friday, and also 2-4 large-scale summits per month are held to share the IPFS-Filecoin project. Therefore, we also won many rewards from the community such as the most influential enterprise of IPFS, IPFS technology innovation award, China (industry) most influential international brand, best application pioneer enterprise award of blockchain, blockchain technology breakthrough award, the project most worthy of investment award, etc., we also employed as the director of China enterprise network. 

Meanwhile, we developed a 1475 mining pool system to help the majority of people to participate in the Filecoin project, which supports people to connect their equipment across networks, models, IDC, regions to 1475 mining pool and aims at building the Filecoin with the members of the mining pool. In the course of SR1, we helped the members share the competition rewards which account for 1/5 of the global. We still believe and make every effort to fact that everyone who supports this project can join the big family, even small miners.

In addition, we are committed to the construction of verified data storage of Filecoin. As a notary, we have been promoting the Filecoin plus project to the outside world and connecting with the companies applying for verified data to understand their storage intention. For example, we contacted Taopaipai, the world's leading o2o travel photography company, and learned that they wanted to use Filecoin to reduce storage costs and access their photographic data. We have also created a data company to connect the data of traditional enterprises to the Filecoin network through our technology.

Concreteness of Allocation Plan

Allocation Strategy

Allocation Plan refer to the Rubric to see how this impacts your Notary score

Concreteness of Allocation Plan

Allocation Strategy

How do you plan on allocating the DataCap requested above? Please describe your allocation strategy with as much specificity as you can. This includes the target amount per client and rate at which you'll allocate DataCap.

1. The allocation requirement is planned to be divided into 5 categories from L1-L5 by the data volume. The larger the data volume clients request, the stricter requirements will be. We want to inspect these clients by reputation, data, diversity and decentralization, allocation strategies, track record, etc.

2. The following table shows the scoring system we designed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15JfJ7im8Zt5U8re_KUASG1dVrhwiHgw0BjiHNaebx2A/edit?usp=sharing 

3. In addition, we plan to show this table in Github, just like the notaries' application and design questions and evidence requested based on those tables for clients to fulfill and apply for the DataCap. We will also make public scoring to determine the allocation quantity.

4. We plan to select one client with an excellent industry reputation to run the POC of DataCap allocation so that clients can come up with the whole process of scoring and operation.

How do you plan on securing the DataCap to ensure your organization (and its delegated members) are the ones allocating the DataCap?

We will do detailed due diligence on the clients who apply for DataCap and the judgment criteria are listed in the table above. 
I will score clients' situations and determine whether or not to allocate DataCap to them and how many according to the score. For me, every client is equal so that everyone can apply for the DataCap and their demands will be approved once they are qualified. If they are not qualified, then they cannot get the DataCap but I will give them some suggestions. After all, we still hope that more people can join the filelcoin ecosystem, and hope that the system restrictions or cold rules will not inhibit people's enthusiasm for Filecoin.

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet the clients that are applying for DataCap? What questions will you ask to ensure your trust is placed well and that clients can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them?

Allocation Plan
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15JfJ7im8Zt5U8re_KUASG1dVrhwiHgw0BjiHNaebx2A/edit?usp=sharing 

Reputation
client‘s Business license, a screenshot of search result that client's name in local Enterprise information inquiry website, company website/social media link are needed. Besides, if clients have cloud usage, I need the platform name and relevant evidence.

Data
clients need to show me what kind of data they want to store. Also, I will vet the data from time to time during/after allocation.

Diversity and decentralization
I want to know the client's allocation plan, especially how many miners store data, the region, and the allocation amount of each miner.

Allocation strategy
the client should have a detailed method or tool to inspect the miners.

We will vet clients' performance from time to time, and disqualify the bad allocation. 

What processes will you employ when granting additional DataCap to a client that has previously been verified? This includes confirming that the client is not improperly using the DataCap they were previously granted, i.e., making deals with a single SP entity.

1. We set a track record of clients to prevent clients from making bad allocations such as allocating to only one miner or using bad allocating methods, which will lead to a lower score and lower allocation volume. 
2. Clients need to disclose their allocation record, and I will remind them if the allocation is not reasonable. If clients ignore it, we will also adopt a blacklist mechanism, which will limit their applications in the future.

Bookkeeping Plan

Do you plan on conducting all your allocation decisions in public (e.g. Github repo), private (e.g. over email, Telegram, etc), or both?

Yes, we will keep it in public by GitHub repo.

Where do you plan on keeping a publicly accessible record of all your allocation decisions?

Will have a google sheet for public record.
