Are you familiar with Mullvad VPN? They use anonymous accounts, based on a serial number if I remember corectly. You could use the same method. I believe you can pay with fiat or crypto, and use that serial as payment identifier.
To check some stats about an account, like balance or whatever, you could asociate the serial with a password.
It happen again today, request stuck at pending and initial connection, I combat it for an hour, can you believe it - it was bitwarden extension, disable it and thing instantly working again. It has been weird lately, a lot of people complain the same on chrome review page.
P/s: 
it was vaultwarden (self-hosted) version is too old.
I always use a fresh trashmail account when doing a storj test. I guess they have some auto delete function for test accounts.
I can throw a few dozens of Terabytes into your server if you’d like to stress test it? 
Not yet 
, after I’ve a clean up process, then maybe, I don’t want to upset my storagenode operator.
@kocoten1992 Very nice job 
I had your satellite, I have add it to my 13 TO node, You have more then 8 TB free disc space for your tests
I don’t read all posts on the wiki for now to create your own satellite but I think I’ll try to configure my own just for the technical skills. It’s for a very ambitious project for my country where we can not use Storj or any other servers like this we have to implement a lot ourselves because it’s not for storing data directly it’s more a service that uses a place to store data (so we prefer to do this staff also).
But my main question that I have for months now is what type of open source project to use, we have to look on the license but also on the best use case, the idea is to have a lot of little nodes and only in my country or only in some countries of Europe.
I don’t know if I look on other solutions like sia.tech or autonomi .com or maybe runonflux, the idea is to use the best project for the beginning, so also for other readers if you have feedback to give to me if you configure your own system for an independent network (not only a node) I think like kocoten1992 for the Storj satellite or something for Sia with hostd, indexd, renterd,…
And sorry my English is not so good, I speak a lot of other languages better, but this improves my English and I don’t want to use an AI tool that reformulates my sentences.
Tank’s a lot Elliot
I’m surprised that someone tried to abbuse this test sat too. Some idiots have too much free time on their hands. Why don’t they put the same energy in something constructive, instead of trying to destroy someone else’s work?
This is a test satellite and everyone was invited to join and test without restrictions. Also a worst case test is not abuse in my opinion.
I think, it’s expected. This also will allow the Satellite operator to adapt and measure what actually they need to improve. It will be useful information to run a production satellite.
Quick update, it look like support for database cockroachdb will go away, so instead I’ll use postgres driver with custom patches so it work with crdb, for example:
as of system time- handle retry transaction error 40001
- handle some internal function of postgres crdb don’t have (pg_stat_user_tables, etc..)
- no VACUUM
- and some more..
Hopefully it won’t be too much of a hassle, but it does mean few days of delay.
