There is a mistake. US1 might soon have similar load as SLC. So you better start fresh with SLC and US1 excluded and join them later.

My strategy to deal with the open issues is to just ignore them. I do have enough free space so I can just take all uploads I can get even if some of them gets paid at a lower rate. It still is extra money that I don’t want to miss out.

On top of that the SLC uploads are great to test out what I need to change on my end in order to scale my setup and make it work. It gives me a head start over my competitors 🙂
