Thunder play cloud controversy has not yet dispersed, but the storm has followed the launch of a broadcast cloud.Lei Feng Wang AI Financial Review reported that on December 8, a product called 'Storm broadcast cloud' in bfc.baofeng. com on the line, the official claimed that the first 2,000 units were looted in 5 minutes.
Official introduction shows that the product's free storage space and bandwidth can be used to earn BFC points, storage and bandwidth support for large series of software and third-party CDN business storm, and support for the deployment of third-party blockchain network even as a Third-party blockchain network full node.This is undoubtedly rub on the blockchain hot spots, attracting those who have 'mining' needs of people.
Introduction to the official mall fuzzy, there are many doubts about the product
However, the official presentation did not disclose the technical details, but from Storm's past business speculated that Storm broadcast cloud is likely to serve as the storm AV content distribution node, to provide accelerated service.As for the specific value of digital assets in return reward , Issuing rules and adopting what kind of blockchain technology, none of these details were disclosed at the time of release.
It is difficult to understand the appeal of storm control cloud to the 'miners' compared to a Thunderbolt cloud with a price of only 399 and a Baidu P2P CDN that does not require special equipment and is directly settled in cash.
According to Lei Feng network understanding, storm control cloud this product there are many doubts:
First of all, in terms of the product itself, the price of up to 5999 yuan (only for the first batch of 4999 yuan for sale) is far beyond the purchase of a content service HD player and a built-in 4TB hard drive NAS costs, we can Inferred, the price of broadcast and control cloud already contains the price of content service.
The description given in the official introduction to Storm is vague about how long these services users can enjoy, whether they are tied to the machine or bound to the account, what is the commitment of the film's copyright rights, How to rest assured that consumers buy? 'And other issues, did not account.
Second, on the blockchain technology.Officially introduced, BFC integral generation and transaction process to do a decentralization, but its products can be redeemed completely by the storm have the final say, is there any contradiction? Then in the BFC Points on the application of blockchain technology and the need reflected in where?
Finally, it is about BFC points, which is actually the core demand for buyers at this stage, they will BFC points generated by these blockchain products as a substitute for bitcoin.We found that the official presentation mentioned BFC points can ' Inter-user exchange ', then there is the possibility of transactions?
The use of BFC points is mainly used to convert the business provided by the storm. Pricing of the products and services is completely determined by the storm. Even if the BFC quantity and output rate are limited, the storm itself can determine the value of the BFC and how to protect the 'miner' Rights?
About BFC points, Storm executives said they did not care at all
On the day after the Storm broadcast and control of the cloud was released, Lei Feng Network had sought a solution to the storm on the above questions, but did not receive a direct reply.
And on December 12, broadcast cool cloud person in charge, is regarded as the Storm Group Chairman Feng Xinzuo right arm Storm CEO Cui Tianlong in the "Prism" interview denied the similar with the Thunder business model, and stressed that accompanied him Leading the blockchain test, the goal of the storm is that all nodes in the deployment of blockchain bring the industry infrastructure capabilities, and thus become the platform chain provider and the underlying technology exporter in this mode BFC points, is not the point, so he 'totally does not care'.
From which we can get the following information:
1, home users are not the main target group of BFC points;
2, the value of the BFC credits will depend on the products that can be redeemed, the storm itself has the final say;
3, the content of the service commitments did not specify;
4, idle access to commercial users of BFC is only a little compensation, the specific is not clear, nor is the block-free chain of mining fair incentives.
If broadcast cloud products can be rolled out in large numbers, this will bring massive, low-cost network nodes to the storm and create a blockchain infrastructure with very low maintenance costs. If the sale goes well, the storm will continue to benefit from these resources Considerable benefits, and to date, they have absolutely no commitment what to pay for the ultimate providers of these calculations, even bluntly, "totally careless."
According to our previous analysis, the Storm Broadcasting Cloud up to 5999 yuan price or already contains the content to provide users with the future purchase of services, and BFC points is the terminal owners to calculate the cost of the storm due due reward Storm executives say 'totally careless' about BFC credits is like hiring a handful of workforces and not looking at paying full wages.
The storm still declined to comment when we asked further questions about the storm in terms of content services and remuneration packages.
As of press time ago, Storm has changed the name of the product to 'storm cool clouds' booking number up to 470,260 people, and facilities such as BFC points wallet are still on the road.
