Gentlemen! Has it really happened that the Bolsheviks have been talking about for so long and golden rain has already begun to fall on us?!
I would really rather not know that all that traffic is coming from the porn industry.
I understand we have random encrypted blobs and all sorts of data is likely to be on our machines… but I’d still rather not know.
I found some interesting info. The primary domain is not registered but then it says “its registered” for subdomain.domain.tld 
I wonder if this ‘storagenode.exe’ is really a node or something else?
I have this “golden client” on all nodes, which means that they are downloading from the storj network at multi-gigabit speeds.

Bro! As far as I understand, this industry is not prohibited in the agreement as long as it does not violate US laws.
We, as node owners, need to pay for our nodes, and money, as we know, does not smell.
If you have any fundamental objections, there is always the option to abandon this ship.
On my own behalf, I’ll say that storj is great as a CDN, if only downloading data implemented through the native client of storj.

i don’t think so?
Saltlake was “boiling” for download and never upload, completely different use case.
But thx for findings! i too noticed some higher uploads (egress) and now i know why!
XXX for the win!
Wow, I thought calling the data “golden rain” sounded kinda nasty and then I saw the domain name and… 
However I also see that domain name not showing up on WHOIS searches so that seems kinda weird.
The real irony would be if I was viewing content on a streaming service… any streaming service… but then it turned out a 29th of the data was already stored on my hard drive.
As far as I’m aware, this is not one of the customers Storj Labs has been testing around. Anyone can purchase storage and use the service without engaging with the sales team. So, as long as they don’t break the terms of service, they are good to go.

Why the Internet was born?
Pxrn, pxrn, pxrn 
Tried to ping that address and it didnt resolve any IP
Yeah it’s not even a real domain name, I’m not sure what that domain means in that log data.
but if you DID find that IP imagine what wonderful things you would find?
Actually for a military purpose to be able to communicate when some countries are destroyed as a result of a world war…
And I’m glad that we found a much better way to use this technology.
