We need a low cost source for large 1 Tb+ drives for it to be competitive with external drives. Our current source only goes to 320 GB.

Do you mean like a cloud storage provider? Or more like a VPS?

--------

If anyone is interested in running a "bootstrap node", please PM me. If you are running a bootstrap node, it means that you'll be in the list of nodes that people connect to first. It means  that you need 98-99% uptime for your node, and it also means that people will probably be downloading a lot of blocks from you and using up a small amount of bandwidth. If Sia grows by 10x in the next month, you can expect to upload around 20-50GB from your node - it's not that much but it's also not trivial.

You will need forwarded ports. Ideally I think we'd like to have 10-20 people step forward as volunteers. The more volunteers that we get, the less strain that each volunteer will experience on their node.

Thanks!
