Whats the problem with 3 test satellites?
Mine specifically is not shutdown in the sense of “shutdown”, rather than repurposed soon.
In terms of why have multiple satellites to test? Because there are tests that have to be executed side by side to notice difference more granular and rule out other environmental issues.
In terms of the hold escrow i can assure you, that all nodes will get their amount paid when the satellites is fully shutdown. That noted, my satellite currently still holds 25TB of “user” data, coming in at ~75TB in the network.
On another note, keeping a satellite running without any load on it, will cost more money than its worth to withold the payment for SNO’s. Again, these assumptions are not helpful for a proper and fact based discussion.
