Buying reputation

Vetting is the process it sounds like you’re suggesting Storj provide a work around for…

here’s a thread I’d refer you to:

Vetting / audit process duration

I’ve got a node running for about a week with ~400MB of data stored (which I understand is about average at this point for a node still being vetted). I read that a node is still considered “undergoing vetting” until it has passed 100 audits. Since the node was launched, I’ve received a grand total of one audit from a single satellite. If this progresses linearly, it will take about 1.9 years to become vetted. Will the frequency of audits increase at some point? About how long on average is…

Vetting is the process to BUILD new node’s reputation. It’s a well proven method to weed out the folks that aren’t in this for the long haul, or might have bad intentions or misunderstandings of what being a SNO is. I can not see any way that Storj would remove this feature or provide a work around to “buy” your way out of the vetting process.
