I’d still support an idea of node recovery for 2 reasons:
- If a SNO has to start over he must make the decision if it is worth it and may leave forever. That is not favorable.
- The life of a node depends on a HDD and any HDD will fail at some point. So in a sense we are all in the same boat and sooner or later anyone will face it and will have to deal with a lost node.
These would be my main reason why I believe there should be a way to limit the damage done to a SNO who has done nothing wrong but the hard disk fails that he has not to start over again at 0.
Maybe once
repair jobs get cheaper there can be found a way or there could be a way nodes could help each other out directly.
