well thought, that obvious things, doesn’t need any further discussion to take forum space.
Sorry for having a limited time as well, to endlessly debate.
While im NOT in a position to know the details about how it could be designed specifically.
i can say in general: that seems a check should be done from customer perspective, downloading file could make measure here.
How can the node know, which customer is measuring the performance?
So the node don’t know to whom keep the hypothetical cap, and to whom not.
It might be even as simple as that.
A customers audit or so called “Mystery Shopper”.
Summary
Im sure the company workers, will surely use any given excuse to evade proactivity, or adding to the “to do list”.
Which some are just silly obvious, like that here.
But im not payed tho to burn glucose to solve problems for storj inc. employees instead.
Or endlessly debate about course of solutions, that storj inc. don’t like.
But im finding this necessary sooner or later.
You need reinforce Your requires, if You make ones.
(A minimum resources like upstream)
And You need incentives for maximum
(the more You share, the more You can get $$$)
Only cost for storj inc, that it must play this mystery customer role.
or just partner with some customer like university for example, giving some free traffic
but wanting measures in return. I know it downloads 29 fastest parts from the 80.
Therefore the lowest from caped ones, may never been downloaded.
Thats some sign too.
Maybe the suspected capping nodes can be found by not winning the race at all over some time, or for too low wining ratio.
But i do know that You can design a solution, it just need work to figure out.
There, please don’t say “You can’t”, or “impossible”.
it’s a matter of need and will.
Maybe Storj inc. thinks, they don’t need it, that’s another subject.
i really don’t like the forum is drifting into constant repetition, only for “mine be the last word.”
I don’t think that’s how the discussion should take place.
If Ai were to read this, he could only conclude that it was written by beings with an extremely low cache memory.
The topic is exhausted, and 4-8 posts later a post appears, as if the discussion started from scratch.
Maybe, indeed, we should all get those nurallinks from Musk, I don’t know.
