Just to following up on this one.
Storj is currently attending the DPP.
According to their information:
The DPP is the leading media industry association.
Our purpose is to bring together companies from the whole media supply chain to share knowledge, solve problems and create business opportunities.
I am convinced that almost every relevant industry has a similar association. And as almost every industry requires data storage solutions putting the focus only on media and entertainment is way too narrow.
A sugestion for the marketing department: Vera Rubin Observatory has the largest camera in the world and uses it to map the sky. It generates 20TB of data per 24h, with an estimate of 60PB in itâs 10 years life span.
Maybe they need some storage space? https://rubinobservatory.org/
As their downloadable large images are on Google, thatâs probably where they have the rest also, while direct raw data probably goes to hard drives first
Ouh I see there was already a topic on this. I just learned about that observatory from a sugested YT clip. They just started the observations, so dosenât hurt to ask them again about storage needs.
There are many topics with many excellent ideas for Storj use cases.
Of course not.
Here is an interesting quote from the article linked above:
âOne transformative technology for the EHT would be if we could send out raw data directly from the telescopes via high-speed communication link, such as via satellite laser relay, and bypass the need to move physical disks entirely,â Blackburn said.
If you read the article it becomes clear, they are looking for options e.g. cloud storage but also for replacing HDDs with SSDs. Storage needs do exist and that does not go away.
Maybe the blackhole image data still would be too big to upload but smaller ones and with Storj and the possible massive bandwidth it might be able to provide through parallelization for up- and downloads and maybe running their own gateways/satellites, it might be an awesome solution for this sector. Now add Object Mount so that they donât have to download the whole thing every time they work on it, then at least it sounds like it could be something that could shine in that field.
When you are at it maybe you should reach out to the SKAO Observatory as well:
When the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory goes online later this decade, it will create one of scienceâs biggest data challenges.
The SKA Observatory will produce around 600 petabytes of data each year. That amount would take 200 years to download using an at-home internet connection of 100 megabytes per second.
A new sugestion for a client; if you are familiar with 3D printing, you may have heard about the most used open-source software for printers, OrcaSlicer. They just launched OrcaSlicer Cloud.
Maybe they need some storage?
Also, BambuLab, the maker of Bambu Studio, another slicer software, uses cloud storage for syncing userâs projects. Maybe they need storage too.
Eh, humans have a preeeetty flexible moral framework driven by survival and convenience. Itâs just like all node operators using non-server version of Windows to host nodes, despite that the license explicitly says you cannot do so
You got the terms wrong. I use their hardware, not their software. The software is free, dosenât cost you anything to use it or not.
For the hardware I paid real money, like thousands of people who wanted to get into 3D printing and got the best cheap option (no need to name it), and I can use it with third party software, avoiding theirs.
