Yet, the compensation plan does not allow for different compensation rates according to each country’s operating costs.
There is an operational risk to Storj by having so many nodes heavily populated in Russia. The risk of nuclear war is the highest it’s ever been. Should there be an outbreak of nuclear war or an undersea cable gets cut all those Russian nodes would be knocked out and the network will not be able to overcome that much data loss.
I am the only node that I know of near me and I had to graceful exit due to soaring electric costs.
Can this issue be addressed so that nodes are better geographically distributed across Canada and we are not heavily dependent on RUSSIA, GERMANY, and the UNITED STATES for these resources?
lol. We would then have slightly different problems to worry about than some data in the cloud.
Show your calculations. Burden of proof is on the one making the claim.
That’s because your node should not have been running in the first place. Do I need to elaborate or you are trolling here and in the other thread? (Hint — don’t keep hardware online just for storj).
You are trying to make money on storj. You cannot. You need to accept this fact and channel your energy to a different goal.
Germany has very high cost for electricity as well (I am from Germany). Normally among the highest at least in the European Union and if I look at this map (Cost of Electricity by Country 2024) then even among the highest in the world. Still the table with node numbers is showing a very large number of nodes in Germany. This is very surprising.
Those German nodes are operating within a special power purchasing agreement? Are those nodes owned by an ISP or huge data center? There’s no way those nodes are running on residential rates.
No, my nodes run on residential rates.
Fun fact: The Rates for Electricity in Datacenters is way higher. Most often x1.7 of residential rates, because cooling is calculated too. So I pay more for my Server which is in a Datacenter
Interesting. In Vancouver, I can apply to BC Hydro for an industrial rate for 3-phase power which is much cheaper than residential rates. Perhaps Germany is discouraging building out more datacentres?
I’d take it with a grain of salt. It says Denmark only has about 350 nodes. I run around 75, and my good old mate, role model and countryman, @Th3Van run ~500.
Just the two of us sharing more nodes than the entire country is hard to believe for me.
His reports show the IPs he’s using. His 475’ish backup nodes are apparently behind backup-parking-slot001.storj.dk … which geolocate to England? When I sampled the IPs of his 130’ish primary nodes though they were all in Denmark. So you and Th3Van would cover more like 2/3rds of the nodes there? That would sound more reasonable…
I just can’t believe we’re responsible of so much of Denmarks coverage. There’s at least one additional Danish in-plastic-bin-building content creator with in these forums. If he’s running enough nodes to match his ever increasing hardware purchases, then we’re three lads who are responsible of hosting Denmark.
Someone from Storj should be along soon to remind us to be “using extra space that we had online for other purposes anyways” . But to be fair… maybe many Germans do have personal/commercial uses that are paying to run the storage… and many do have extra space… and many did learn about Storj?
Or maybe for every child you have the government gives you a homelab or something. I dunno
“Com’on behbeh, take my hand and I’ll show you buckets of data, millions of files, and an nevereverending sea of blinkling lights on the front and back of my datacenter equipment. If I show you my rack, you’ll show me yours”
I feel a surge of confidence, as the local birds flock to my general area already. I’m also runing used-space-filewalker, that’s like a two for one
And yet you are here on the forum asking veiled questions.
You have a lot to learn. In addition to how the storj project operates, and how to make a substantiated claim in a discussion, you also need to figure how how public forums work. You can ignore my posts but that’s the extent of it.
Oh crap I’m in trouble. I post in Internet forums where people don’t ask for my advice… all the time. Usually it’s in response to others who have posted… when nobody asked for their thoughts either.
Did anyone ask jas for their opinion on counts and nationalities of nodes? Are we all in trouble? Maybe it’s turtles all the way down?
