RE: My STORJ (St💿rage Node): July - PROFIT💸 FINALLY🤑

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Do you just set up an app on your PC, set a partition, then forget? I've got a machine that runs idle with a few bots that could act as a node potentially. What sort of Internet connection do you need? Do you need to stake some tokens to run the node?

Please tell me more or link me a noob's guide :D

Lot's of great questions as always!

  1. You need a 24/7 PC yes!
  2. You can completely forget about it... I sometimes don't know where is the disk I have used for this... 😁
  3. The more UPLOAD you have the merrier... long term.. and the more space you share, the more you need. I have at least 10Mbps for this... and I am not even close to get it saturated... for a 1TB disk.
  4. No need to stake ANYTHING... just share stuff... but there is a probation period... 9 months, where you get some fund HOLDed by the network, in case you bail off, to pay for the damages! =)
  5. I forgot the previous links... to my older posts :( will update...

Ask away! =) This questions require !BEER Lots of it!

Cool, 9 months is probably a long period of time to wait... not even sure if that box will still be operational by then (As I plan to virtualise most of its functions on another machine in the house before then!)

Doesn't seem to be something I can capitalise upon!

Thanks for the response!

Yeah.. this is a kind of game... for operations that can run.. for years... I have had met computers in the past with 7 years of uptime... (connected to the internet) I know it's possible. =) Not with windows... most likely... but it's possible.

By the way... my demo node is windows based ... but because its used for many other things... I need to have it online 24/7... so reboots are very quick... and not that much often.

Maybe there is room for business here. You got me thinking...

I did wonder if some cloud based VPS with lots of hard disk space / linking into free google drive / backblaze type stuff would work as "partition" ;)

It would... it will... it does... but depends on how well the "service" works. Cloud stuff is very tricky in my view...

I hate cloud... to be honest. I love distributed storage!

Not sure if I was clear here... you still get funds during the first 9 months... but some of them get held... until you are "stable" enough on the network.
