Why there is no native integration on TrueNAS?

Well, it depends on whether paying double for traffic is cheaper than paying for storage, isn’t it?

That is totally correct.

@arrogantrabbit

we don’t have actual numbers so this is all speculation

Right again. But there are clues. We first ran out of tokens, now got bought by someone. So I would argue that we ran on VC money.

@arrogantrabbit

Or the plan is to migrate large or most customers to native or self hosted gateways eventually, making this cheaper on average.

Which they did not. For years. I also don’t know why. I can only speculate

• it was not important, because the network isn’t really used anyway (20PB)
• It is very hard to implemet. This one I could see. Not because the coding part is so hard, but even TrueNAS not really believing in the project and offering create a native integration in a collaborative effort, is a hard pill to swallow
• they just had other more important priorities like the hashtable but are now on it

@arrogantrabbit

Unlike this silly Backblaze that has nothing — no performance, no reliability, no integrity, no profits, just a horde of fanboys.

They have something that STORJ does not have: actual customer data and users. We might see the same problems arise, when STORJ finally has customers

You know, just like the BTRFS RAID bug that nobody discovered until recently, simply because nobody was using BTRFS in production and everyone was using ZFS instead
