@scaseye , do you plan to add an additional redundant copy of the data with a different provider under this application?

[scaseye]

We would prefer to not require another storage provider if possible.

[dampud]

@Amin-Foundation - Taking into account the nature of the dataset and the importance of selective, specific storage requirements, DataCap will be assigned with the understanding that storage services will be provided by a single storage provider.
As this is a known dataset and an organization continuing the application (#62), we will not require any additional KYC

[dampud]

@scaseye, could you confirm that you will not face any technical issues when spending DC using the smart contract flow described here:
https://github.com/fidlabs/contract-metaallocator/blob/main/HowToUseClientSmartContract.md#this-step-by-step-guide-explains-how-to-create-verified-ddo-deals-using-datacap-granted-through-a-client-smart-contract-with-boost

Please consult this with your storage provider as well to make sure this is feasible on their side. Smart contract allocation is the primary way of spending DC in our pathway, so we would like to ensure that this will not become a hard blocker for your application.

[Amin-Foundation]

@dampud understood, thanks for the context.

[scaseye]

As the client, we use Singularity, and the Storage Providers (SPs) are on Curio. This should not be an issue for using smart contracts in general.
The primary SP is local to the client, so we are able to deal at a very high rate. However, the second copy SP cannot seal that fast due to both egress and sealing capacity limitations. If there is a way to relax the distribution constraint for this contract, that would help tremendously. It will be a blocker if we have to wait for the 2nd copy to keep up. Or if 2nd copy is not required (preferred due to nature of data) than we have no blockers.
