Question for the SNO’s Let’s assume the data flowing in recently is consistent and your drives get filled. Do you plan on expanding your capacity and/or number of nodes? In other words, are you going to just let your existing drives fill and not expand further, or do you plan to expand as they fi…

[image] snorkel: Tomorrow some nuthead can start a nuclear war and all the storage is fried. Much more likely storj could file bancruptcy, your storage would be freed then.

There is plenty of opportunities to burn money. I always found one. :sweat_smile:

i mean, why storj workers shall privately add disks, or expand a SNO role, they only need few nodes for testing, they got paid much more for coding, than they could ever get from hosting nodes. And in the topic: im not adding , just 2x (4TB swap for 16TB). If Storj do some call for action, or surg…

[image] ACarneiro: Anyhoo, don’t think I noticed many downsizing (I think @littleskunk was going the route of a lower powered machine but not less capacity such), but what is it that you are trying to say? Yes that was me. I am playing with this ideas since a year now. Electricity is expensiv…

[image] Ruskiem: they only need few nodes for testing, they got paid much more for coding, than they could ever get from hosting nodes. I don’t think money is a driving force behind running, let alone expanding, nodes for most operators. If anything, it’s the opposite - you are already spend…

my answer as a small hobbyist with 3 drives allocated: I can expand up to 6 drives (and larger capacity( as things fill up (so… I can more than double). But I need to wait for monthly payouts to even make that decision because: I want to ensure the payout is still paying off my high electricity …

I guess the biggest problem I see for now and future is the ISP. If they start trotteling Storj connections or block them, that’s the end of Storj. Energy cost, hardware cost, software bugs, all can be managed by us and devs. Internet bandwidth can’t.

I don’t see any fun in running storage nodes. For me it’s just a reminiscent obsesion from mining and a need for extra income. When you run 1-2 nodes, maybe it’s just fun in a way. When you run 17, the fun has nothing to do with it. :sweat_smile: The Wife still awaits for the palpable explanation o…

I am doing this as a hobby. No need to make money. But based on hobbyists and ‘use what you have’ growth is limited for storj. I can’t see how this could work at current rates for 10x or 100x expansion.
