I complained about the development progress of IPFS at the beginning of the last article "IPFS and Competitors (1)" . Today, I learned that MaidSafe started in 2006 ( 
) This progress is also drunk.
Continuing from the previous article, I will continue to talk about IPFS competitors today
Pictures from the Internet
4 Burstcoin
Token Symbol: BURST
Official website: https://www.burst-coin.org
Current exchange price: 0.16RMB
Total: 1.8 billion pieces
As the first project to use Proof-of-capacity, Burst still has great progress.
According to the official statement, mining is very simple, you only need to download the AIO client.
To learn more about mining, see here:
https://www.burst-coin.org/mining-the-easy-way-with-the-aio-client
The project was launched from bitcointalk on 2014.8.10. The account of the initiator is "Burstcoin". A year later, the founder "Burstcoin" disappeared like Satoshi Nakamoto. I don't know why, nor do I know the real identity (blockchain). Are the features of anonymity inherited from these founders? 
) Since the project is open source, on January 11, 2016, some members became pickers and opened a new section on Bitcointalk.
Project address: https://github.com/burst-team/burstcoin/graphs/contributors
According to the official website, mining is very simple, just follow the instructions. To learn more about mining, see here:

5 Gennaro
Token Symbol: GNX
Current exchange price: $0.4
ICO Date: 2017.11.17~11.30
ICO cost: 1ETH=3000~3800GNX, about discount at that time: 0.1~0.7 USD
Official website: https://genaro.network
Whitepaper: https://genaro.network/en/documentation/whitepaper
Genaro claims to be the first distributed storage area network with a Turing-complete public chain
Turing completeness means that a Turing machine can be implemented to solve all computable problems.
Genaro is developed and operated by Genaro Ltd, a Singapore-based non-profit foundation. The goal of the Genaro ecosystem is to build blockchain 3.0, as a next-generation blockchain platform to help blockchain applications come to fruition.
Genaro Network = Public Chain + Decentralized Storage
Decentralized storage network consensus mechanism: SPoR (Sentinel Proof of Retrievability)
Public chain consensus mechanism: proof of stake (same as Ethereum)
It is to add a distributed storage on top of Ethereum.
The first landing project on Genaro has been tested. If you are interested, you can apply for a test account and try it out https://genaro.network/hk/genaro_eden/
第一个项目Genaro_eden是基于Storj做的。小编在github上找到了Genaro_eden客户端代码，小编只是想瞅瞅他们怎么实现的，你们猜小编发现了什么，Genaro_eden这货只是 Storj的一个js实现客户端，Genaro和 Storj勾搭到了一起 ，小编申请的测试账号号称正在审批中，（如果只是一个Storj的话，我还要什么测试账号），当然我没有看完全部的源代码，也许后面有自己的东西？
6 MaidSafe
代币符号：MAID
总量：大约45亿
官网地址：https://maidsafe.net/
项目源代码主页：https://github.com/maidsafe-archive
共识机制：资源证明（Proof of Resouce），资源包括，CPU，存储，带宽，在线时长
关于MaidSafe网上的资料不太多，包括官网都没有太多资料。
从巴比特 http://www.8btc.com/maidsafewhitepaper 得知，这个项目起步于2006年（看到这个我还怎么抱怨IPFS开发进度太慢）。从官方论坛得知：2014年众筹的时候项目把币全部卖出去了。也就是说以后挖矿的时候，只能从交易中获取币，并不能像想起他挖矿一样进行挖币（官方称为Farmer），区块链的用途实际上是一个交易市场，用户提供资源，矿工获取支付。
目前官网提供了内测版的下载，然而需要邀请码，小编就去注册了官方论坛，又被告知论坛的等级要到Level1才可以，遂放弃。
7 CDN类的项目
BlockCDN： http://www.blockcdn.org/
流量矿石： https://www.lltoken.com/
游娱宝盒： http://www.gechain.cc/
暴风播控云： http://bfc.baofeng.com/index_pc.html
玩客云： https://red.xunlei.com/
赤链的无花果： http://www.figtoo.com/
锐角云：https://acuteangle.com/index_zh.html
这些基本上都是做CND加速的，竞争的是同一个市场（上行流量市场），在我国经营CDN是要牌照的，给大家一张目前已经获取到CDN牌照的企业，投资的时候大家睁大眼睛就好了，当然拥有牌照跟能把CDN卖出去是两回事，别被割了韭菜，分布式CDN网络相当于实现了IPFS的一部分，目测还会有一波进来的。
这几天把IPFS的竞争对手基本的情况基本摸了一遍，更坚定小编对IPFS的信心。小编对比了github里面各个项目的源代码热度，显然IPFS远远超过其他竞争对手。
让我们拭目以待！！！
