Using filters for storage and retrieval deals
Storage providers might demand very precise and dynamic control over a combination of deal parameters.
Boost, similarly to Lotus, provides two IPC hooks allowing you to name a command to execute for every deal before the storage provider accepts it:
Filterfor storage deals.RetrievalFilterfor retrieval deals.
The executed command receives a JSON representation of the deal parameters, as well as the current state of the sealing pipeline, on standard input, and upon completion, its exit code is interpreted as:
0: success, proceed with the deal.non-0: failure, reject the deal.
The most trivial filter rejecting any retrieval deal would be something like:
RetrievalFilter = "/bin/false".
/bin/false is binary that immediately exits with a code of 1.This Perl script lets the miner deny specific clients and only accept deals that are set to start relatively soon.
You can also use a third party content policy framework like
bitscreen by Murmuration Labs, or CID gravity:# grab filter program
go get -u -v github.com/Murmuration-Labs/bitscreen
# add it to both filters
Filter = "/path/to/go/bin/bitscreen"
RetrievalFilter = "/path/to/go/bin/bitscreen"
Here is a sample JSON representation of the input sent to the deal filter:
