Thanks for the addition @elek! I cleaned up the formatting a bit. Do you happen to know the name of the blobs folder? I haven’t used this sat myself yet, so can’t easily look it up. ---

> [@BrightSilence](#): > > Do you happen to know the name of the blobs folder? I haven’t used this sat myself yet, so can’t easily look it up. Sure, I just added the blob folder. BTW, I checked the code, and the folder name is just the base32 + lower case version of the hex (without === padding): Can be calculated (for example) by: > **[Base32 to Hex converter and online decoder](https://cryptii.com/pipes/base32-to-hex)** > > Base32 is a transfer encoding using a 32-character set, which can be beneficial when dealing with case-insensitive filesystems, spoken language or human memory. ---

Ahh thanks, that’s very good to know! Do you also happen to know an easy way to convert the satellite ID to either of these? Btw, I was expecting this one to be listed on [https://www.storj.io/unpaid-community-satellites](https://www.storj.io/unpaid-community-satellites) Since that is not (yet) the case I figured I would clarify that. We can move it over once it’s listed there. I might change the way this is displayed when more trust lists start making the rounds as it would make sense to simply list the trust lists a community sat is on when that happens. Side note: I’ll give your sat a try on my test node soon. I’m still a little bit hesitant to add community sats to my prod nodes as there are still some issues when satellites disappear. (we’re still dealing with errors in the logs from the decommissioned stefan benten sat for example) ---

> [@BrightSilence](#): > > Ahh thanks, that’s very good to know! Do you also happen to know an easy way to convert the satellite ID to either of these? Sure, just use a base58 decoder which can decode hex. For example this one: > **[Base58 Encoder / Decoder Online - AppDevTools](https://appdevtools.com/base58-encoder-decoder)** > > Encodes either text or HEX to Base58 or decodes Base58 to text or HEX. Choose _decode_ and _Treat Output as HEX_. My nodeID (_1NusSk8HjWppghiWvofEBDqryDaxiALPah8EyRxXWdNkwXg7ai_) can be decoded to _0031c0baa220ceabe3057a9f7ab3a6b71edc2480d63e6a3bd5ba750fca31db560064dcf973_ The first byte (_00_) is a version marker (always 00 as of now), the last 4 bytes (_64dcf973_) is a checksum. Remaining is the same as the hex, shared above. ---
