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

#1

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.
