Start my node on May 15, 2020 with a capacity of 3Tb today, June 10, 2020, the node has consumed 1Tb of Hdd with hardly generating any benefit. Is this normal? Which may be due ? is there a problem with my node?

Actually, getting 1TB of data in your first month is very good. Usually, the first month is only vetting period, which doesn’t get you lots of data. Just keep going, payouts will ramp up after some months.

Increasing storage every 15 days for a simple promise to collect “something” after a few months … is a very bad business…

It’s not just a promise and you can calculate what you receive (of course this might still fluctuate to user demand because it is not mining!). But you definitely receive at least 1.5$/TB/month. However, for the first month you have a held back amount of 75% so you would only receive 0.375$/TB/mont…

What do you mean by “Increasing storage”? Does someone force you to add more HDDs every 2nd week?

Ok. Would you still please elaborate what you mean by “increasing storage every 15 days”?

[image] TheMacR: is a very bad business It’s a fair business. And you shouldn’t want anything else. Fair compensation leads to a sustainable business. If you would get paid more than it’s worth you can never count on it sticking around. That said, yesterday I purchased my second 16TB HDD just…

It takes months to generate some profit based on the time it takes to ‘vet’ your node, then the held payments. You can look at one of the online calculators for a general idea of what to expect.
