Was wondering if anyone here is currently or has been involved in STORJ nodes. I have over 100TB in HDD just sitting idle since they were mining BURST a few years ago, so looking to put them to work even for a moderate return. Just curious what some first hand experiences with this has been.
No experience myself, but this is a recent and well discussed thread on it (with calculator):
https://forum.storj.io/t/realistic-earnings-estimator/6693Thanks nsummy, there a ton of info in that thread and i read a good chunk of it yesterday, as well as looking through some guides on their website.
My initial impressions are this:
1- seems like there could be some pretty good returns, but...
2- unfortunately, getting a node set up appears to be quite complicated, especially compared to BURST, which was time-consuming to get all of the plots written but was pretty easy and straight forward to set up
3- I also have concerns about whether or not this could be run on a mining PC, and i will not set something like this up on my main PC. There's a bunch of stuff about port-forwarding and other setup stuff that I am worried will conflict with ETH mining.
4- it also seems like you might have set up RAID to get a node to use more than 1 HDD. This seems crazy to me but again, something i need to dig into
5- bottom line, i plan on trying to get my top questions answers before proceeding any further
I will be happy to share my findings on this thread when i get some traction... stay tuned.
