The data is shrinking before our eyes

[alpharabbit]

Geofencing is a gimmick, I don’t think it is widely used. Select network is the only way for customers who really need to know where the data is stored.

[mythsmith]

But… encryption makes impossible to understand which data you are uploading, so how could the EU “know”? It’s just random garbage.

[Alexey]

It’s used widely by the customers who need it.

It seems that the Grafana dashboard at storjstats.info is not refreshed for stored customer data since march 25th and for free reported space since january 26th.

Notice: Public API Downtime (statistics data)

Hey everyone, we wanted to give you a quick heads-up that our public API has been experiencing some issues since last week. Our team is working to resolve this as soon as possible, and we’ll keep you updated on our progress. Thanks for your patience—we’ll let you know once everything’s back up!

It’s down at the moment

[Alexey]

It’s not completely down, but it’s not reliable at the moment. I believe that @rafael would notify when the issue would be resolved.
Please track the original thread for updates.

Because you have inspections and the configuration files of your backups do tell where you do your backups?
Also people will make a complaint.

[Grimm]

Used, yes, foolproof, no, unfortunately.

There is no growth really.

Right. This is what I kept saying. Adding mine 3 months:

6 months:

@Knowledge

we hopefully will see numbers moving in a positive direction

We are hoping a looooooooong time already…

However, as time has passed, I have come to realize that my role within this project no longer aligns with my aspirations and well-being. It feels almost like the metaphor of the “slow boiling frog” – gradually becoming acclimatized to a situation that, over time, has become less fulfilling. The diminishing returns, with an average of just 1.5 dollars per TB and price increases making it no longer worthwhile (often amounting to little more than a penny shift), have made me reflect on what truly matters for my personal and professional journey.

I am also really at the verge of giving it up to provide storage.

Api started to show new data, but it is very unusual

So everying works as intended? Not enough data — nodes leave. A lot of data — nodes join. I don’t see a problem.

That’s the 10 PB from the big customer which was announced one year ago. They finally uploaded it today.

[Vadim]

By strange data, I mean healthy pieces median is crazy big.

[Roxor]

Yeah something is multiplying the piece count… which is adding up to the jump in stored-customer-data.

[jammerdan]

@arrogantrabbit

I don’t see a problem.

The problem is that we hear all the time that it will get better. And it simply doesn’t get any better.

[nyancodex]

Lol. They flagged my post. Haha. Guys just close the forum. Why keep it open if you guys don’t want to hear the truth?

[arrogantrabbit]

@nyancodex

They flagged my post

Who are “they” in your opinion? Why would “they” want to suppress “the truth”? Maybe there is a simpler explanation for why was your post flagged? Like forum rules?

[ACarneiro]

Instead, perhaps you could post like a grownup? Then “they” won’t flag anything.

[emitremmus]

Last 3 months my stored data went down from 9.5tb to 7.8tb.
There is no increase anymore. I’m in this project since January 2022 but it seems it comes to an end.
