precisely that’s what will happen, people will get tired and suddenly pull the plug…
I don’t know how many PBs, they may fall at the same time…
I’m sure there are other things to use the storage for, maybe you are better off hosting movies or your cousin’s photos.
Guys, let use a lighter tone and be polite to each other. This is StorJ’s forum, please respect the host. If you have dedicate forum, feel free to unwrap this then.
I hear it all the time, but facts are that network only grow bigger.
Why is it mutually exclusive? My home serve has backups of all my extended family, replication from other servers, photos, videos, and I still have 50TB free. What do you suggest I do with them?
This is accounted for. That’s why we don’t want higher payouts, they attract people who can “get tired” and demand “more free money or I slam the door!”
It’s self regulating system. If node operators leave — the remaining ones get more money.
And as you can see — it’s only you and three more fellas are unhappy. Look how many operators just pocket free money quietly.
Ok, this is a good point, (thank you for taking my bait ;))
Give me a compelling enough reason to donate to you and I will.
I chose to donate to storj because I like the core idea behind the project: Improve resource utilization and reduce waste of energy. That’s why I participate in it. It also helps me pay 30% of my electricity for the server — but it’s a bonus.
What do you offer? You know, you can also start your own satellite, attract operators, pay them double of what storj pays — stick it to the man, so to speak. Incentivize all operators to your network.
Source is free, you can even use this forum to get help setting up satellites. Go ahead, make tons of money.
I donate to worthy causes. I never give a cent to panhandlers.
And in this case — I donate something that would have went to waste anyway. Money I can use for something else. Idle compute I can’t .
You either being obtuse on purpose or are not paying attention.
free space razed as hell this mean more and more people are participating. My used space rizing all the time today i have 260TB of data, and i am already clean from TTL test data.
The number of the nodes only grow from 22.7K to 24K and the free reported space from 39PB to 73PB
I don’t see that the network is growing correctly. The only thing growing is the free space
And just a sneak peak
As you can see, Storj employees or multi-accounts.
They can insult with impunity.
Cita
I’m not sure what are you trying to say here. What shall I be able to see? Who insults who? Your citation is busted. Did you intend to reply to someone else?
Please elaborate. and maybe put more care into your comments if you want a quality response.
I also do not fully understand the stats but have two hypothesis:
the test data from saltlake was never counted as “customer data” on the chart, so we didn’t see it balloon or collapse , raw capacity was increasing at roughly the same size as saltlake test data, and then when it was deleted it looks like a burst of “free” capacity.
the number of nodes only went up slightly but allocated disk space went up a lot per node.
Of course the free space is increasing more than a few years ago, even more than last year. Your drives that you had laying around and put to work for Storj were like 3-4 TB.
Now they filed up and you bought biggest ones you can afford… 20-24TB.
You add the free space all at once.
But the occupied space is increasing slowly like it always did.
With all the testing and promises, many buyed and added new big drives.
So… it’s not so abnormal to see a lot of free space from time to time.
Regarding the ROI and getting your kids through college, I don’t know what you guys are lamenting about.
Many of us are planning to get Lambos with Storj eanings, so… see here:

I even bought the air freshner fragrant tree.
There is also audit and repair. So, when the amount of healthy pieces for the segment is falling lower than a repair threshold, the repairers will retrieve a minimum required pieces and reconstruct the missing pieces and upload them to the network.
