Why node age MUST be same on ALL (new) Satellites

I see alot of new people wanting to know why there nodes arent making them tons of money and they signed up for storj thinking they were going to be rolling in the dough. Making storj look like the bad guys here by not creating more data flow for what they have expected it to be.

I get it there’s always debate about if storj is doing the right things but what it comes down too is storj isnt out company we don’t control what they do or don’t do were here for the ride. What bothers me is these people who spend all this money thinking there going to be making tons of money and go rent a bunch of VPS from tons of datacenters and then come to the forum asking why there nodes aren’t making them money.

I understand that feeling very well. But I think this is partially on Storj. If a new SNO wants to find out what they could earn, one of the first links on storj.io is the earnings estimator. In fact it’s pretty much the only thing that gives any indication. And as of now, it’s simply not realistic. Your post convinced me to turn my alternative that I posted several times in other topics into an idea that can be voted on. I think this should be fixed. Because I once again can’t really blame new SNOs for having the wrong expectations if they are based on an official estimator.

You can find it and vote for it here: Realistic earnings estimator

Edit: This discussion kind of got off topic. So lets discuss earnings expectations further there or the general attitude of people on the forum in a separate topic.
