The facts are
- Storj audits, rates and disqualifies the nodes when those don’t comply to service level requirements.
- Nodes have no way of auditing, rating and disqualifying Storj’s systems.
- Storj doesn’t take responsibility for the bugs in its software and makes the nodes take that responsibility.
Conclusions:
- Storj doesn’t treat nodes as equal partners, it treats it as something lower in the hierarchy.
- Storj doesn’t take responsibility for its failures while demanding the nodes to take responsibility for their own failures and for Storj’s falures too.
Is this a context that leads to trust? I doubt so.
