Can we get 2x surge for Christmas please?
Talking about SNOs in Public network only.
Because we helped during the period of extensive tests and preparation for the biggest customer so far, which unfortunately didn’t land on our HDD’s.
The Public network played a huge role at that time and feels like it didn’t got the reward. It supplied a representative group not possible to reach in just QA test satellites, which allowed achieving new milestones in STORJ’s performance in shortest possible time.
Tho it would be nice to get some reward as a Thank You, and there seems to be no better time but the last payout before Christmas (between 3th and 14th of December)
Additionally it could be a new tradition, to celebrate the oldest nodes in the network.
To serve the purpose of keeping the nodes online for ever!
Example, the longer the node is with us, the better surge once a year for Christmas.
You up to? @john@bre@jtolio
I’m just happy they landed that customer at all, even if it was on Select.
The biggest gift to public SNOs is that Storj makes enough to remain in business… now that they’re down to the final batch of treasury tokens. Every penny needs to help Storj/Valdi/PetaGene products work together to ensure profitability: as there are no more tranches to bail them out.
There should not be any extra payments made to SNOs for Christmas. With tens of thousands of nodes: we’re way past any subset of them being special. Keep the funds and spend them to make 2025 the best year ever!
10PB won’t appear overnight, and getting a purchase agreement signed doesn’t mean the customer will start shovelling data in immediately. It may be the long-term projected size of their project… perhaps taking a year or more to ramp-up. That’s all just a guess based on storage projects I saw at previous jobs.
But yeah, I bet Storj wants to bill for that capacity asap too!
Wasn’t the test a simulation of the expected use case? So either storj was completely wrong about that or the new customer still not using storj on a large scale.
Lots of times stuff like the use-case are for new product offerings. Like if a company like Vivint wanted to offer monthly-rotating-cloud-storage of security video files to their customers… they need time to sell it to more and more of those customers even if they could handle huge loads on launch day.
Kinda like Storj: having to prove your solution has been engineered to scale… but it still takes time to bring on customers to consume the capacity.
Because we have several customers with the similar usage. The US1 stat includes US1 Storj Select.
it uses the TTL data, so they uploads over the time, then it’s expiring and they uploads again. So I suppose that an average usage is not noticeable on the graph.
But check the US1 ingress.
The customer is on Select and is currently using it consistently.
While Executive management makes the decisions on surge payouts, I would not expect to see anything like that in the near future. The company wants SNO’s who operate nodes based on the current payment model. Increasing payouts would incentivize the wrong behavior.
We wouldn’t want customers to think that the only reason we have X number of nodes is because we are paying them an unsustainable amount. Consistency is important here.
