Hello Storage Node Operators! Important: This includes an announcement of changes to payout rates for storage nodes on all satellites, effective December 1st, and that Storj does not anticipate further payout rate adjustments for the foreseeable future. Thank you so much for your continued engagem…

[image] Pentium100: Uptime matters a lot more (Storj does not have such a thing as planned downtime), so does performance This is a problem I pointed out earlier in the thread. Node performance really won’t matter now. You can just use async writes for everything so that you win ingress races…

Guys, please stop discussing. There’s no point to waste your time any furthur. You accept or you leave. Storj will do whatever they want/need to reach their goal of making this business model profitable by the end of 2023. That’s their ultimate goal since last year, nothing else. Take a look at the …

[image] Pentium100: Running the node adds constraints to how I can use my server. Uptime matters a lot more (Storj does not have such a thing as planned downtime), so does performance (when the filewalker runs, but in general as well, for example during a zfs scrub). Also, once the node has take…

[image] Bryanm: We really appreciate the lively discussion the pricing announcement yesterday has engendered. We’re especially appreciative of the replies that understand what we’re trying to achieve in the long term, The fact you saw fit to commend someone who said they would continue to ru…

[image] Pentium100: I remember that for a long time the recommended way to run a node was to use a rapberry pi with a single hard drive for one node. it was profitable, perhaps today is not, I didn’t check for a long time. But my pi3 recovered x6 of spent money for the 4 years until it’s stop…

[image] arrogantrabbit: You should not be backing up node. It’s silly. redundancy is already built into the network. No it’s not. If something happens to part of the data, I cannot recover it and have to lose the remaining data, resulting in lots of free space and $0/month. he node may grow b…

[image] Alexey: long time to respond on the write request But that assumes that you’re configuring it as a write-through setup, which is pointless. Using a write-back setup instead means you’d still consistently win ingress races because you don’t have to wait for any underlying storage devic…

[image] Pentium100: If something happens to part of the data, I cannot recover it and have to lose the remaining data, resulting in lots of free space and $0/month. he node may grow back to the same size it was, but it would take multiple years. If something happens to part of the data – it’s…

[image] arrogantrabbit: People use backups to protect important data, losing which carries significant cost. Losing storagenode data cost is insignificant, and multiple by probability of loss – negligible. That is not the only reason people run backups. I use my backups to shuffle around my s…

the usage of BTRFS is enough to have such a long time to respond on the write request, see
