Is there a way to stop boostd daemon? You can use the regular Unix OS signals

Is Boost compatible with the Lotus client? Can a client use lotus client deal to send a deal to Boost storage providers or do they have to use the boost client? Yes, boost should work with any client given it supports the storage market protocol / default standard of Filecoin network today.

Does Boost provide retrieval functionality? Yes, Boost provides 3 protocols for retrievals as of now. By default, Boost has Graphsync retrieval enabled. SPs can run Bitswap and HTTP retrievals by running and respectively.

Does Boost client have retreival functionality? Yes, Boost client supports retrieval over graphsync protocol. But we highly recommend, using client for Filecoin/IPFS retrievals.

Can Boost make verified deals? Yes, payments for deals can be made either from a regular wallet, or from DataCap. Deals that are paid for with DataCap are called verified deals.

Can I run both Boost and markets at the same time? No, Boost replaces the legacy markets process. See Migrate a Lotus markets service process to Boost
