I will leave, the payout is a mess

Node Operators

I meant more about crypto world, as I say, proper work is a Default thing.

44

The thing is, I am currently running 10 nodes. Not out of necessity but out of boredom.
I could run 100 nodes but it wouldn’t change anything in terms of profitability.
I pretty much give away any earnings as “initial eth” because … I am stupid and thought it was a good idea.

Ah!! 1887… That was a good year.

It’s always nice to turn an extra profit through patience.

yes it was, most came from a node that was started back 05/19 and was forced to GE it sue to immanent hardware failure a few months back.

This is only one thing Coinbase is good for these days…

The “Earn Rewards” pages! get a few $'s every so often from doing nothing much, and having it handy to transfer to your wallet and use when gas prices go through the roof again…

Oh nvm, you already stated who you think you are.

@meerektee Hey, what’s your fav’ way of converting Storj to fiat? What would you recommend?

55

So far I’m holding storj, but I would convert storj to ETH with Uniswap, Binance or other wallet supporting ERC20 tokens then send ETH to Coinbase, convert to GBP and then withdraw to bank account.

56

I dont get it, you fail to sell your tokens and blame storj ? i use binance, you can send payouts there every month and sell your tokens in few clicks

57

You should not do that.

Just don’t.

Although I tend to agree with you @twl, maybe you could elaborate a bit more on why you think @warn1ng shouldn’t send payouts directly to Binance every month?

Hey, Newbie here just reading posts about starting up a node etc. Bought my first Pi 4gb and was just curious about what you mean about killing a node in your learning process ? Cheers.

A i have 5-8 nodes on one pc, hapend that used exidently same intentity on second node, so node was DQ. Bad HDD wire, some time make bad things and in the end of DQ, Some time wrong settings.
So everything you do check twice.

If you change something on your storage node always assume the worst. Always assume you have done something wrong and if you don’t find the mistake your storage node will get disqualified. With that in mind just doublecheck everything.

I usually close my external port for this. I make sure my node is offline and can’t receive audits. Then I start the node and check the storage node dashboard. Is it showing the data that I would expect? If not I can just fix it and thanks to the closed port I don’t need to rush it. As soon as I have double checked everything I will open the port and wait for the first audits to fly in. If I am failing audits I shutdown the node asap before I try to look what happend. With this strategy I can usually catch most of my mistakes without getting DQed.
