Tools for retrieval mining on Filecoin protocol

myel's Issues

Onboarding: Connect UI to node and Filecoin node

A miner should be able to load the app and identify their node. Then the app should be able to query our node to get information in the context of that miner. Need to figure out a method for subscribing miner's node to our node to exchange messages. Will integrate a version of IPFS to see it might be a viable path.

Investigate miner sectors and payment channels

• Checking sectors might be a good way to identify which data is in sealed storage and could be therefore cached by other peers for faster access.
• Checking payment channels might be a good way to track the timing of retrieval deals.

Model service

Implement basic python service for demonstrating what it would look like to run stat models based on data gathered by the node. Connect node to python via gRPC or database object? See what works best. Let's just play around with some options.

Parse network activity

Node should subscribe to message pool and parse messages to understand Filecoin traffic. Potential solution: use MpoolSub to read messages, connect message to a miner from miner info list, if peer is not in miner list we should assume they're a client. We then add them to a client list. Last we decode messages to identify the operation. We can do more with the data once we understand the message content. Need to see if we can track retrieval orders this way or figure out another way. UI should then be able to query a list of messages by peer and other type of operation filters.
