Ingress traffic splitting between vetted and non-vetted node on same subnet

[Pac]

Hello @thelastspark

@thelastspark

let’s say I have a 100TB hard drive

Well first off, a 100TB is way too big, it will never fill up. For the moment, it is not worth going above 20~30TB which already takes years to fill up at these days rate.
Have a look at:

Realistic earnings estimator

The original earnings estimator is no longer online, so I’m altering this suggestion to advocate for the return of a realistic earnings estimator. In the mean time SNOs can use this community version to get a good estimate of the earnings potential. Please be respectful of others using this sheet. If someone else is looking at their results, give them a moment before overwriting their inputs or copy the sheet to your own Google account to fill in your own inputs. The sheet is protected against …

@thelastspark

would the non-vetted node take the ingress that would otherwise go to the vetted node?

I believe so, but it would be a negligible bandwidth. So it wouldn’t harm vetted node’s revenue much. (Doesn’t seem exact - see @kevink’s answer below)

@thelastspark

my intuition says it’s a good idea to start vetting a second node should the first one ever get DQ’ed

I think it’s a good idea to have a spare 550GB node on the side so it is vetted and ready when time ti expand storage comes (or to replace a failing node), as long as you don’t put much money on it.
