How we made the deals and data

We've tested a lot of miners publicly available, and only used the ones that would eventually seal our deals. This is why there's been a lot of deals that never succeeded.

How we imported the data into Filecoin

1. Download the data and extract it

unzip fma_full.zip

2. Create .tar files of max. 32 GiB

# Create new tar file; tar -cf ffma.1.tar -C ./ffma_full/100000/1.mp3 # Append to new tar file; tar -rf ffma.2.tar -C ./ffma_full/100000/2.mp3

3. Import into lotus

lotus client import ffma.1.tar

4. Make a deal with a client

lotus client deal --from=f3soaazrjuc4os4mtov5miqkqtozzeemvhugamp3och7yuhk6jjndibfdmudtwblsxzjh4cgua4g3aoatqiuxa --fast-retrieval=true --verified-deal=true bafykbzacebx7rbqyefgu73ssqt3jkmhvbppf7ry2es2ro2qv7ndeiap7qqug6 f01234 0 1152000

5. Keep checking the status of the deals to see if transfer + sealing went OK
