Why is my node taking so much time on vetting period?

Dear Storj,
I don’t know why there is so much difference on the satellite of saltlake and other satellites vetting percentage. Here is a screenshot of it.

The vetting period for the satellite saltlake is almost over reaching the level of 96%,where as the other satellites has just reached the level of 9 to 10%.

Please advise, why there is so much difference between them?

The saltlake satellite is the testing satellite. It probably has a different algorithm so testing can be done faster.
Vetting on the other satellites takes approx. 1 month.

I have never come across any such information. Can you please elaborate on what basis are you making this claim?

A simple explanation could be that the saltlake satellite produces a lot more traffic than the other satellites. Therefore it also produces more audits and vetting is faster.

It’s fairly simple. The Saltlake satellite is much newer than the others. Which means it doesn’t have nearly as much data stored on existing nodes. Therefor the data you have received on your node represents a much bigger piece of the pie compared to other satellites. And because satellites audit a random piece every time, the larger your piece of the pie, the more audits you get.

This is exactly what is expected. You’re getting the benefit of one satellite being new, the others represent more how long it would normally take.

This is today’s status of my earnings.py program.
It has already been 15 days since the last post about this topic but the vetting period for other satellites than saltlake is just 23 to 26%.
Is there something I need to worry about?
And it has already been a month since I started the Stroj program on my PC.

Thank You

It should take at least a month to be vetted on the satellite.
In case of multinode setup, it will take in the same amount of times longer as a number of nodes.

I understand that.
But why the vetting process is so slow than other node (saltlake).
It took me about 16 days for the vetting peroid to be over in the satellite called saltlake.
But it has already been 14 days and the progress is about only 10 to 15% more than I saw before 14 days.
Thank you

Seems you have more customers of saltlake satellite than from others

If you ask the exact same question that has been answered again, I’m not sure how to respond. Please scroll up a bit to read my answer from last time. Nothing has changed about that. If something is unclear, let me know, otherwise the answer is the same as last time.

No, I am just comparing the data from different time.
And I want to know the reason behind it.
That is all.

And another thing,
Is it true that more the data stored on my hard drive, higher the probability that my node will be busy on uploading traffic? Or is it the same? Because I have not got egress data more than 0.9 GB.

It can be, but not guarantee. Any activity is depends on customers.
