Storage and retrieval markets

Discussion about implementation of markets into Forest 🌲

My general thoughts for beta release is that we focus on retrieval markets. From my previous conversation with Lotus team, they are focusing on storage already. @lemmih

We should certainly have both, but not sure we should have this in beta already.

Ya, it's really very costly in terms of infrastructure to run a storage miner. A lot of other projects (including Lotus & Venus) is already focusing on storage providers. In order to add value to the FIL ecosystem and from a differentiation angle we were aiming for retrieval markets, FVM developers and a light client.
