How long does storj pay SNOs for stored data?

Wasn’t the point of asynchronous deletions to make it seem faster to the customer?

There are different testimonials here, probably all true:

Bloom dont work or why my trash is empty?

Yes… But our customers are suffered from a long deletions, so… We decided to use an async approach, which in result created this situation with the garbage collection…

Deleted pieces will be sent to trash by default

Hi SNOs, The next software upgrade includes a change that will by default send piece deletions to the trash rather than immediately removing them from disk. This is a temporary precaution to avoid failing audits for pieces that were deleted between satellite database backups if we have to restore from a previous backup. Each node still has the option to turn this configuration off, but we highly recommend you keep it on. It is very unlikely that we will have to restore from a satellite database…

Current situation with garbage collection

For direct deletes we would need to keep a record of the pieceIDs that got removed from the network. And we would need to keep the entire list somewhere. Thats a giant object. My last bloom filter deltes 1.3M pieces on US1 alone. I don’t know how what size a single pieceID has but a list with 1.3 Million of them gets expensive. A bloom filter does the oposit. Instead of tracking the pieces that needs to get cleaned up it tracks the piecs that the node has to keep. That doesn’t need any extra d…
