Files.fm Library ICO

Files.fm Library | P2P file catalog and marketplace

Files.fm Library – P2P file catalog and marketplace with intelligent search engine and blockchain payments

Files.fm Library will combine the existing digital library creation principles with new hybrid semi-decentralized technology, using P2P fog network of web browsers in order to reduce the costs and limitations of centralized digital libraries. The Library will focus heavily on creating and maintaining a community of volunteers, who would upload, tag and oversee useful files and who in return would be rewarded with FFM tokens.

THE PROBLEM

No legal file library with specialized file search that offers both paid and free content

No unified platform for content creators or aggregators to create personal public file catalogs

No single file marketplace with effective payments, ensuring transparent remuneration system for authors and correct metadata

SOLUTION

Files.fm Library unites technology and people to form a semi decentralized data platform on an open and equal basis.

1. The platform is built on two decentralized bases:

– P2P file sharing network in a browser

– P2P payments system on blockchain

2. It provides useful content gathered by community

3. Clear and convenient legal control of content

MAIN CONTENT TYPES ON THE PLATFORM

Images/Video/Movies/Audio/Books/Software/Docs

Use cases:- free stock photos, paid stock photos

– free/paid stock videos

– public domain books, educational materials – videos, presentations, docs

– documentaries, creative commons, creator’s video channels

– datasets, maps, music sheets, lyrics

– freeware and opensource software, etc.

– paid content

LEGAL AND COPYRIGHT CONTROL OF THE CONTENT

We believe there is lot of content that is useful for common public and doesn’t infringe/abuse any copyrights. We will ask our users to gather and publish any content they believe is public and could benefit other people.

IN CASE OF COPYRIGHT CLAIMS, WE WILL ALLOW AUTHORS TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO:

– leave it as it is

– set a price for views/downloads

– block access and implement DMCA-like procedures.

P2P APPLICATION AND DECENTRALIZATION

WHY, WHERE AND HOW P2P IS USED?

The main problem with classic client-server architecture: as the number of users increases, speed drops but the service costs increase.

P2P technology is needed to ensure system growth, speed and cost-effectiveness – to implement massive file sharing for a large and fast-growing number of users while achieving these targets:

– fast download speed

– unlimited traffic

– able support thousands of simultaneous users and traffic spikes

– reduce service maintenance fees

– independent file exchange

SERVICE USABILITY AND TRANSPARENT P2P

Our core focus will be on convenience and the usability of the system.

We will integrate P2P tech usage very transparently for end users – no need to learn how blockchain works or install and configure any software.

Users will be able to participate in the network by just opening Files.fm website and we will integrate options to buy/sell tokens and create wallets if needed. Lots of automation and smart contract integrations.

WHY USE BLOCKCHAIN AND TOKENS?

The level of transparency and independence that blockchain provides.

All transactions, sales and licenses are registered on a public ledger and turn immutable.

We would like to create and use independently exchangeable digital currency instead of credits.

FFM tokens will allow users, doers, customers and creators to become a part of the platform’s economy and value.

Crypto token transactions will cost less than credit card payments, which in turn allows users to implement and execute micropayments.

WHAT IS FFM?

FFM is the native platform token that allows users to participate in the Files.fm Library and gain rewards for their work.

TOKEN UTILITY

The FFM token can be gained by uploading files, adding metadata, sharing free drive space or doing other things that are beneficial to the Files.fm Library. Users can spend their tokens on subscribing to pro features, buying private storage space or exchanging them for paid content, such as movies, TV shows, music or books.
