The second link claims that it will store data without payment and allow extracting money in the future, with 0 mention of who is paying for the space. This is so suspicious that I almost cannot believe this is not addressed immediately.
Skynet operates on a freemium model where users get 20mbps and 100 GB of storage for free and significantly more if they pay (80mbps and 1 TB for $5/mo). This is what pays the bills, and also how things stay pinned.
