I’m talking about regular Select: where the SOC2 datacenters trade custom payouts for the removal of some restrictions (like no /24 block, so they fill faster). They can reclaim space at any time for regular customers paying more for it (like they rented a dedi / vps / whatever).
I think what you’re talking about (where Storj rents servers themselves) was what they called Surge nodes? I’m don’t think we ever heard how many there were (or if they even still exist). Cool idea though!
