It should be vetted roughly after December 29, 2025, if it’s a one node in the same /24 subnet of public IPs. If there is more than one such node, then the vetting time can increase by the same number of times as there are such nodes.
So in my case I have a handful (4) of nodes that were added with the new vetting changes, all are in the same /24.
I’m assuming going forward I should add a single node, let it fully vet, then add another? Having one vetted node seems more beneficial from my perspective than waiting 4 or so months for them all to vet.
Since these nodes are all fairly new, would abandoning all but one be helpful in speeding up vetting at all?
Compared to how long nodes typically run (years)… vetting is done in-a-blink-of-an-eye: so I don’t think it’s worth optimizing. It’s not like vetted nodes get a huge increase in traffic.
You already know having multiple nodes behind one /24 doesn’t help fill space any faster… so if you’ve already decided to start 4 nodes… just let them run. You should be able to ignore them unless you get an email saying they’re offline.
True, my first nodes benefited from the incorrect vetting window and we’re confirmed in a week or so, so my frame of reference is not helping.
I have noticed significantly less ingress traffic, 10GB/day vs 50-70GB/day for a vetted set of nodes on a /24, which I think is expected given some other changes I saw posted where unvetted were favored a bit more. But also, my vetted nodes are likely skewing my expectations.
Storj works best when you don’t watch it too closely . There have been many threads where people talk about reasonable expected growth rates (example, example, example) - and one post yesterday where they got around 1.5TB in the last year. But the last 12 months have been abnormal: because there were a couple large purges of inactive/deactivated accounts.
Basically if you did see 70GB/day… if that held it would be around 25TB/year. Nobody is getting that from a single /24 - so expect to see space grow and contract. Every bloom filter is going to nibble some off: and the larger your nodes get the larger those nibbles become
25TB is quite substantial. My oldest node is 3 years old, and 9.4TB has been stored after 3 years. So, to actually fill 25TB, it would take about 10 years with all the deletions. Somehow, nothing happens at Storj Global at all. For me, about 70GB is stored per day. The same amount is also deleted on the same day. And this happens every day. New nodes receive more data, once they are verified, they get less data. In my opinion, it’s no longer worth setting up a new node unless it is fully filled. And in the future, it won’t get any better. These are all my personal experiences.
I just let my nodes run, but I think about shutting everything down and selling my hardware every day. I don’t see any customers in Germany, and apparently, that’s deliberate (no advertising). …
