Hats off to @Th3Van — and some numbers on what that offer is actually worth Up front: I used an AI assistant to work through the numbers in this post. I could see that Th3Van’s offer was a big deal, but I couldn’t confidently interpret all the figures on his stats page myself, so I had help doing …

This is simply not true and spreading misinformation. Germany is improving Clean energy and so on. But you are missing, that there are Price zones for each region (Germany as an entire land has one single price zone). The Price in one pricezone is dictated by the most expensive plant currently produ…

Germany closed Nuclear powerplants with out any normal backup plant, this is the result.

Maybe we need to expand the SNOs into battery storage. Hopefully we don’t have to split the network into Select vs Global. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: P.S. Re:gas turbines. It’s not a conspiracy to drive prices up. The turbine is already spinning. If you try to add a powered off turbine to a…

modern PV inverters can regulate voltage, supply reactive power, respond to frequency deviations within milliseconds and, with grid-forming controls, provide synthetic inertia. Unlike a gas turbine, they do not first need to accelerate a large mechanical rotor before reacting. And gas absolutely ca…

I respect this. I can’t run any storage at the moment other than a few TB of SSD but I could run a free repair node if there was such a thing? If there was a docker image I would run it

I’m wondering about what it would take (compute, storage, connectivity, etc) to run a repair worker/node.

The main problem with external repair workers is trust. They need read and write access to storj metabase.

[image] littleskunk: I will have to ask Shuja how this works. This sounds like you have good relations with them. Out of curiosity, how does it feel to work with a court judge? I assume it’s rare for them to work with a commercial company with this kind of community.

I followed the meeting only partially. They talked about the business and taxes but I did not hear the word community. BTW: Shuja is not the judge.
