I am a bit curious though why does storj stop people from deleting buckets after the trial is over?

lol i thought storj was just doing false advertising but it look like it something more then that, Storj look like in US Atlanta, GA 30309, United States (As Storj Labs Inc) but there invoice show (Storj Labs International, SEZC) Grand Cayman KY1-1003, Cayman Islands, oh no, it look like a TAX haven, Shell Companies and money launderers Dreamland.
if it was for saving tax then they can register at The Delaware (DE) state sales tax rate is 0%
@fastwire This is ridiculous.
There are over 100,000 active companies registered in the Cayman Islands.
No company bases their decisions on state sales tax alone.
This Forum is not a place for laypeople to offer off topic, unsolicited and inaccurate tax advice.
What you believe you have just discovered is in fact publicly available information.
Anyone with internet access can see this.
Please stay on topic.

Hoho, the more I think about Storj move, the more amazing I think it is, for legitimate free user, pay a few cents and off you go.
But for abusers, the sheer number of CC card or the fee of tracsaction going to be devastating.

Look, we were in touch directly some time ago. But this is not about friendship. Im writing to you how I see it. In my view, those are the small letters @arrogantrabbit that you are referring to. Almost every agreement have this kind of paragraphs. From my perspective, it is a shaky ground to stand by it if you are a third person and dont know the whole story. In a sense that you dont know if this was done a) on purpose or b) by a mistake.
In the first case, on purpose, and data being kind of locked, requesting the payment to unlock, no emails, short periods, then, in many jurisdictions such a case would potentially be against the law.
In the second case, by mistake, imagine Oracle or Google doing such a mistake. Kind emails, kind messages on the forum, long transitory periods and all that jazz would be to be expected.
This way or another it is not a thing I would like to associate myself with. Thus I stand a firm position. They do as they wish, you do as you wish, but, again, I stand my critical position firmly.
P.S. FYI, I am also critical because I think that there is a problem almost on every side of this company, technology, node payments, users satisfaction, carbon footprint. And actually, carbon footprint looks even more shaky then data being kind of locked, but I am outsider, so cant comment on this in full in public.
Actually, I finally did read your post and I am considering a move with regard to your activities related to carbon footprint certificates very seriously.

You are right. This is totally off topic.
If you have issues to discuss regarding zkSync please post in a thread about zkSync.

I wanted you to comprehend it first hand here as I spotted you were suggesting a non KYC payment for data that were kind of locked to one of the users of your service and I saw some parallelisms that I wanted you the experience, again, first hand.
@s-t-o-r-j-user Last warning regarding staying on topic in a thread.
I dont care about your warnings. Nor about my posts being deleted or hidden on your forum. You have to comprehend it. :- )
Ok

Well, this explains why suddenly I have 1,5 TB of trash out of 8TB used.
IMO, it isn’t over yet.
This topic has become a pain to read. I’m not going to name any names, but please everyone. Stay on topic and find appropriate existing topics to post other comments in or post a new one if none exists.
That said, my two cents; I think free users should have been emailed. I would almost certainly have run into the same issue of locked account if I wasn’t active on the forum. Even though I was more than willing to pay. I had plenty of Storj balance to begin with, but legacy balance and no Pro account. I resolved that through a support ticket, but that took several days, which would have been painful if that happened while my account was locked. I also think users should have been given a little more time after initial notice.
However, I also recognize Storj Labs has no obligation to do this and users always have a responsibility to never store their data on a single service without an option to recover from elsewhere. In my case, it’s just backups that I still have local copies and my own local backups for. So I would have been okay.

I was a free user and I also received an email. But I also had storj balance, same as @BrightSilence, so maybe I wasn’t a completely free user.
The email provider getting rate limited could have been 1 of the reasons why some free tiers weren’t emailed. I think the page that shows the file/bucket being shared could be used as an alternate space to “advertise” such changes.
I had previously suggested that there is lot of free space on the shared link page and it should be used to the fullest.
The footer/header is an excellent place to advertise any changes like a banner with marquee text. The preview area could be shortened and that space could be used.
The idea being, users will see this space more often.

These instant swap services are usually allows you to buy crypto with a credit/debit card. However, if you already have a card, you can use it as a payment method in your account directly instead.

Al menos debiera existir una cuenta gratuita con 1gb para quienes deseen testear storj

En otros casos tienes Prueba gratuita para tomar una decisión, ¿se adapta a su caso o no? Porque normalmente el nivel gratuito infinito se utiliza para abusar y crear enlaces maliciosos, pero no ayuda a convertir a los usuarios en clientes.
