pay someone to do it

Pretty easy, you just pay someone to do it.

Didn’t you say it would be cheaper?

Question to SNOs: If there was a Storj competitor who would just take Storj’s code, set up their own satellites, get their own customers (I know, the most difficult part!), would pay same money, just in fiat, and provided enough traffic that you wouldn’t be able to serve both Storj and that competitor, would you move your nodes to that competitor?

And not have to deal with every exchange’s KYC/AML and taxes that change every minute?

No, I’m a masochist, I’ll work both sides.

How is your internxt and storx node doing? Just to name 2 attempts

I think there are many SNOs that already provide space to multiple projects: simply to make sure every byte of every HDD is filled. Then they just reduce what’s allocated to the less-profitable projects as the use by more-profitable projects grow.

There are just so few legit alternate projects.

The ones I’ve looked at recently tend to all want you to buy/stake $500-$1000+ of their new coin to even participate. They have no paying storage customers. They don’t seem to have a plan to obtain those customers. And they often have screwball pricing that’s higher than Storj. Their business plan seems to make the price of their coin go up by inducing demand in their-version-of-SNOs so they can cash-out. They don’t even care about the space you provide.

TL;DR; Show me the money! (but Storj has had open code for years, with no other company building on it, so I don’t expect one to start soon…)

I’d run both.
If I had to choose one would probably stick with Storj.
For one it’s loyalty. Also I kinda know who I’m dealing with so also trust.
Being paid in tokens is not that big an inconvenience…

What wallet is everyone using for ZK? I was using MEW which worked fine for non-ZK, but the app doesn’t have a place to put in the contract address for the ZK version.

[donald.m.motsinger]

I guess most use Metamask

First actual answer, congratulations

[arrogantrabbit]

I second metamask. MEW is a horrific, abhorrent, idiotic, bloated, buggy garbage. It has benefit of appearing in search results first I guess. But it’s testament to their marketing efforts, not quality of code, stability, performance, or user experience.

Ah I see, cheaper you said. Aha.
105 countries and 105 regulations.
Good luck! You need it. Or pay for it. Still cheaper? Please show your business plan.
