Hi, My ISP had a central error and the whole district had no internet for nearly 20 hours. My question is that, due to that 20 hours, can I be disqualified? Is that 5 hour offline time is still turned off? Is there any plan to have something like a hibernated state for a node if something like this…

My ISP says my fiber connection has been cut and may be awhile before they can fix it. Covid-19 and all. :frowning: So, will all my nodes which have otherwise had 99.xx% uptime for up to a year be disqualified because of something completely out of my control? If so, that would be terrible. Sur…

This is exactly how “home” connection differs from a “datacenter” one. Hopefully the new DQ policy will take this into account. I don’t think downtime DQ is enabled yet though.

You can use two internet connections and if one fails update your dns records to the other connection. If I’m a user which stores data on storj I don’t care if your connection is down or not, I just want to have access to my data :slight_smile:

OK, sure, but then the price will be higher than $1.5/TB and $20/TB because of higher costs of the additional internet connection. If you want datacenter-grade reliability, you will have to use a datacenter and pay datacenter prices. Then you costs will be higher and data will be more centralized.

+1 I would happily add ISP redundancy, BUT that [expletive] ain’t free. :slight_smile: If Storj ever sees somewhere near previous highs, it might make sense. At recent prices - nope. :slight_smile:
