My rigs  crash from time to time and can have 5 -10 mins of downtime until i notice.

If my host goes offlline for 5 -10 mins will that be a problem? maybe 1 or 2 times a week?

Does the data have to stay live 24/7 with zero downtime?

You want to aim for less than 5% downtime, which is actually quite a lot of downtime. 10 minutes once every few days is not going to hurt your usefulness as a host. Is the crashing due  to Sia, or due to other system instability? If Sia is crashing, I would like to see the outputs + logs so we can give it better stability.

Hi,

No the crashing is to do with GPU's overheating from time to time.

Perhaps it will be best if I don't use the mining rigs.

I'm interested for sure in this project. Just have to research the best way to set it up.

I'm guessing just buying a lot of 8tb external drives and hooking up to a laptop isn't going to work. The resources needed to serve say 40TB of data on command would need a few machines. Also the biggest issue for me is the small upload speed that I have. 6mb. So again people downloading would grow very impatient.
