Discussion on scaling the network - a multi-node SNO tier proposal

[Alexey]

@Humble_Fenix

the issue of scaling the network is not properly addressed.

what issue? Do you see any?

The ROI

Please try to understand: we recommend to use what you have now and what be online anyway with Storj or without. All investments are highly not recommended.

@Humble_Fenix

4-12 TB single nodes looks a bit naïve to me.

This is easily solved by incentive. If there is a demand - SNO will add storage as needed. We have a lot of SNO with unused free space, it’s just not added, because there is no demand. And there are a lot of chia miners…
I think that it will balance itself, no need to introduce any artificial demand.

a tier for semi-professional SNOs

We have it, it’s called “Storj Select”:

However, if this assumption is correct, I believe ignoring it and silently tolerating ToS violation is not the right approach.

I believe, it should be solved by a protocol not a strict ToS. However, we have what we have now. But please do not think that it would not be addressed.
