Hello, I signed up on the forum only to comment on what I see right now. The judgment, the technical problem that has arisen concerning the downtime of the node storage (as by chance), and the very doubtful communication to the hosters to invest into your company is not at all reassuring. The [post who report the technical problem was hidden a few hours](https://forum.storj.io/t/dropping-online-status/32030/103) ago also raises questions and is not reassuring. All this gives the impression of a scam exit coming, you will tell us that this is not the case (who would say otherwise?), but it doesn’t reassure us. Storj’s exchange price is in free fall. Personally, I have 5 node for a total of 76 TB for several years now, I would not wait for judgment to see if I would be paid or not. I will completely stop the storage nodes on August 15 by exiting gracefully if the payment was made, if not without exiting gracefully, because for me trust is broken and Storj is dead. End of adventure for me, and It’s too bad Storj’s end ends like this. Goodbye people ! Edit : Post hidden by Storj’s team Do you afraid about something or do you have something to hide ? No gracefull exit, I shutdown my storage nodes now. ---

If payment arrives before 15 August yes. (mistake, I have edited the post). ---

I will argue here, person just marked his position. It also give some signals to storj. ---

> [@jouaba](#): > > If payment arrives before 15 August yes. My man. I thought this was a _genuine_ “goodbye” post, and you were worried about “the very doubtful communication to the hosters to invest into your company is not at all reassuring.” And technical issues that weren’t addressed in a few hours. But if you get paid… within a couple weeks… you’ll stay? Your concerns can be solved with money? You’re giving me emotional whiplash 🥰 ---

Read, think, then write, don’t do the opposite. Payment or not, I leave Storj on August 15th. ---

I have no decision-making power, but I can stop working to express disagreement. If the company fails to meet its commitments, it’s the problem of Storj company, not mine. ---
