BitTorrent's BTFS storage network; btfs.io now 301-redirects to BTTInferGrid, an AI-inference grid, and the BTFS docs are offline. The operator is BTFS (BitTorrent File System) (not disclosed) [2]. BTFS is no longer a purchasable storage service: its portal now 301-redirects to the unrelated BTTInferGrid AI-compute product and its docs/subdomains are offline, so a storage buyer should look elsewhere and only treat this as an archival record. [3]. This review was fact-checked against live sources on 2026-10-02 [1].

// How to get started with BTFS

Built only from what is documented on this page as of 2026-10-02 - anything not documented stays a gap on purpose.

1. Open the provider site

   Everything happens on btfs.io - we count the click, nothing else changes for you.

2. Pay

   Accepted: BTT. Check the network and the deposit address inside your account, never from an email.

3. Read the term before you sign

   maintenance . A term you did not read is money you cannot get back.

4. Verify the output, not the dashboard

   Proof is documented as partial - Archived BTFS docs describe storage providers (SPs), storage users and an 'Online Proof' mechanism. Compare the first payout with the pool or wallet before scaling up.

Then run the math: mining calculator · contract vs. HODL · all decentralized storage providers.

Red flags

• Storage portal replaced by an AI-compute site with no announcement; prior BTFS docs and dashboard/gateway/finder hosts no longer resolve

What "legit" does not mean

A real, operating provider can still lose you money: with a contract you own no hardware, revenue follows coin price and difficulty, and most published contracts are priced so the seller comes out ahead. "Legit" means the operator exists and pays what its terms promise - not that the deal is profitable. 15 dated sources back this page; they are listed under sources.
