why does it never grow it goes maybe 600 then 100gb gets removed like ive had this for like 450 hours now
Unless you have some specific issues you could identify from logs – such as system responsiveness, causing losing too many races (use successrate script), or connectivity issues (check for that too), then it’s a normal customer behaviour.
Hosting storagenode is a marathon, not a sprint.

450 hours is… less than 3 weeks? You probably haven’t completed vetting yet: so your node isn’t being offered the same upload opportunities as the rest of the network.
Like arrogantrabbit said: just wait. This is a service many have ran for years and not filled all their spare space yet. But some of those who waited and expanded are getting solid payouts…
That’s perhaps an exception.. But for random dudes like myself storj offsets about 50% of electricity bill for running my servers. Electricity costs $0.52/kWh where I live. And it’s an old (read “power hungry”) server. So it’s not a bad deal.
I’ve been looking to upgrade to Xeon E-2400 or Epyc 4004… but prices on those chips are even more obnoxious than electricity prices… /rant.

Way off-topic: but those 4000-series 'Epyc’s kinda offend me. If it doesn’t have more PCIe lanes than you can count.. it’s not Epyc. It’s AM5 cosplaying in a business suit.

All the scripts got good results im connected via ethernet its very wierd.
i hope in 9 days my node gets vetted and i fill my drive. cause im tired of it always deleting its öike the network doesn’t want me to have more data.
Get a Raspberry pi zero and run it off it get a dock and run storj
this week I have same feeling that my setup not o over 290TB every time I get to 289+ go some deletes and it go down. I think it is not a problem of setup itself. because I have 107 nodes, with different places, connections /24 IPs. May be we got data that deleted more often last week before i got around +5tb so I dont worry very much. takes time, it is always HARD in the begginning.
ComputerFeline, you were active in another thread also complaining about ingress speed and data stored.
Are you coming at the StorJ network from the wrong angle?
This is not mining. This is not printing virtual lottery tickets, on which future customer data might be stored. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme - and quite possibly not a get-rich scheme in it’s entirety.
It is, however, a platform that’s solving real problems, for real customers now and today. Your Storage node is competing with other nodes, and the rate of ingress is capped both at your hardware speed, your geographical placement and customers demand.
Keep the node online, follow best practices … and forget the node. As long as everything is working, it’s not really worth to read along in the logs, your time is best spend else where.

Whaat no get rich quick scheme?
How am I supposed to pay my Lambo that I purchased? I thought crypto will make you rich! /S
But yes many think because it has to do (a bit) with crypto they can do a quick cash grab and hope that they get big bucks quick. Which is definitely not the case here.

Based on nearly two years of usage, I’ve been utilizing about 20TB across all nodes. While it may not be the definitive answer, I don’t see it as a major profit-making endeavor. Rather, I consider it a way to use Storj as free cloud storage, and I’m very satisfied with that.
If you look at the community posts, you’ll notice that people generally don’t recommend accumulating tokens for investment purposes, likely due to the high volatility.
I’m currently using 10TB for personal clinic data (encrypted), and I originally used AWS. I’m satisfied simply because I no longer have that fixed monthly expense.

no im very confused how bro got 300tb of data and 107 nodes bro explain
i want to get rich of this passive earnings :CHILL
bruh i want it atleast to pay for itself
watch me cruising in the lambo
So basically free storage.. for yourself? bro just buy ur own hdd instead of using others
I think what he’s talking about is sharing some of his local free space with Storj… to have it pay for his bill of also using Storj for Cloud Storage. In very rough numbers for every 2.5-3TB that gets filled by Storj data… it pays for you to use 1TB of data yourself.
A lot of people want some offsite storage, for backups and such. Since they already have too much local free space… they can share that space to pay for their Cloud Storage bill. It’s a pretty sweet setup!

You know how you set up 1 node? He did the exact same thing… but 106 more times

I am doing it from 2019, have several locations and several /24 IP
I have all windows native nodes. No doker
