I noticed a very important fact!
Updates for lux users through the watch-over come out with a huge delay, up to 8 days (1.17.4), at the moment, (v1.18.1) is already available for 5 days.
Because of this, the traffic on the nodes, as soon as they are updated, goes normal, if there is a week of delay, it drops to 0.
No update instructions
This is not an instruction, but a set of symbols without explanation in bird language!
Thus, Windows users get more earnings and all the benefits in general. their update is easy!
The administrationâs assurances that the traffic does not depend on the version is not true. Once again, I repeat everything on the scraps, 1.17.4 was delayed, there was almost no traffic for two weeks, it was just updated, there is good traffic for a week, now a new update has already been released, there is no repository, and the traffic has dropped sharply.
Any evidence of the info you described?
If this is really true there is a big issue in the network. If data/bandwidth usage drop on older nodes it means the whole network will be unstable. And this needs to be fix ASAP.
This is absolutely false. The only time a node stops getting traffic is when the node is a few versions behind.
You should get facts straight have some proof before posting.
I have both 1.17 an 1.18 version nodes an they both recive the same amount of data.
If you were running version 1.14 yea you wonât be getting new data.
The fact there is a delay between updates is so the entire network doesnât go offline at the same time.
You are completely wrong. These updates arenât like mining updates where you get X % of increment if you update your software. This is used by real users hence nobody can predict bandwidth usage.
If your node is 2 minor versions behind the latest released version then your node will stop receiving ingress which is why watchtower is highly encouraged for auto-updates.
This is intentional to make sure not all nodes go down for update leaving the network unstable. The term here is ârolling updatesâ. Docker nodes are updated few days after GUI nodes.
Even though I am a Windows âdie hardâ fan you are wrong again. Why would Storj give Windows user edge over Linux users ? You can check the code if you donât believe any of us.
This is a mere coincidence. Storj isnât mining to expect steady flow of traffic.
I judge by my earnings and inbound and outbound traffic.Between periods when I expect. update, and can not install, and when windows users can do it in 1 click.
