I’ll give you benefit of the doubt and assu,e you are not trolling and are simply confused. Because the questions you are asking have well discoverable answers and you are conflating hosting node and using the service.
You don’t need to have public ip to use the service. You don’t need to have public, let alone static, ip to host the node either. You can call your provider and say hey, I have an ip camera, can you forward a random port to me? Done. Vast majority of residential customers are behind firewalls and/or nat. IPv6 won’t help with the former. The solution is a phone call to provider.
If that is not feasible - there are other ways too, and I invite you to read forum and find that yourself. I don think me regurgitating information for you is a good use of either of our time.
Again, I would think you are trolling, but I’ll assume that you don’t know my better and use a gateway, that is also far away from you. Storj demonstrably reaches multi gigabit worldwide throughput and I invite you to find out how to use it correctly on your own. This the selling feature. You can find a paper one of the universities did measuring it, users posts here, or measure yourself.
Not true.
“Well that’s just your opinion, maan” - you should have said to your provider. Legacy my ass. IPv4 is not going anywhere anytime soon, if ever. If you don’t host services you don’t need public ip. All that ip running out fearmongering is like y2k nonsense. Don’t worry about it.
I’ll let you watch how that unfolds and and make your own conclusions.
Be my guest. But research all the facts. But since you are even considering backblaze, In the same paragraph where you discuss performance, it tells me you did zero reading on the topic.
For getting high throughput from storj? Or for hosting a node? You keep conflating the two. Either way I will not spoon feed you how-tos. Use search. Or use agentic tools to find it for you. Because I dislike your approach: “this is shit and it’s on you to prove to me otherwise”. I don’t have to, I don’t want to, and I will not. Why reply then? Because I’m annoyed by your comments.
Anyway, RTFM, and if you still have specific questions not covered there I’ll be happy to discus.
