I'm making an online marketplace where users will need to upload listing images. Will storj be fast enough and is it much cheaper than AWS?

It'll probably be a couple of terabytes of images.

Is storj really fast enough in reality?

I found only today that the "Free Tier" was deleted, no email was sent from Storj to let the user know about this change.

I'm not interested anymore in this service and I want to wipe all my data on their server.

But It seem that my data are now hostage of Storj.

When I try to delete the bucket using the web interface I get an error sayng "please reduce your request rate" so I cannot delete my user data from Storj service.

It seem they want to force me to put my credit card information just to delete my data.

This is not compliant with European legislation that want the user data to be deleted when asked from the user.

Please Fix your website to allow all people affected by your decision to delete "free tier" to delete their data from your website if the want.

Since my trial expired, I am looking at upgrading since I need a place to host my backup. But I need an explanation of what two specific actions cost.

What does it cost per GB to upload? Nothing is mentioned, so I guess nothing, but I'd like to know.

Since I plan to host my backups, I will delete my old files, when the new ones are ready. Is it free to delete my files? Ie. deleting 100GB worth of files will not incur any cost?

​

The only three things that I will pay for is Storage GB/Month, Download, and Segments?

root@unraid:~# docker start Storj
Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "/entrypoint": stat /entrypoint: no such file or directory: unknown
Error: failed to start containers: Storj

For some reason all of the sudden my storj nodes don't start anymore. All my 10 nodes are running on Unraid and up until today worked totally fine. Now after a restart I cannot start the containers anymore. Tried removing and pulling the image but that didn't help. Files on disk seem healthy. Did anybody experience this before and could help?

Hello! This morning my Storj node suddenly went offline. I got it fixed, so if yours did too, try this!
First, find your config.yaml file. On Windows it's under C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\config.yaml open it and search for operator.wallet-features. There should only be one line containing this. If you have two lines, remove whichever one you best see fit. For example:

# I would remove this one  
operator.wallet-features: ""  
# I'm keeping this one
operator.wallet-features: ["zksync"]  

You can try and narrow it down by opening a PowerShell and running & "$env:ProgramFiles\Storj\Storage Node\storagenode.exe" run --config-dir "$env:ProgramFiles\Storj\Storage Node\\" --log.output=stderr

Hope this helps! And thank you to this forum page for helping me get it figured out.

I also have 11 % of the data stored on my node in trash :(

Hey, I just logged in to my account and it says " Only 3 days left in your trial.". What is happening? will I lose access to my files?

I've added a screenshot of portainer which displays my running node.

I have another volume of which I want to add to this node.
I've set the storage limit to 10TB.

With the extra volume I want to increase the limit to 24TB but how can I add the new location and let Storj know to keep 10TB at the original location and only start to fill up the new space?

Saddens me to post this, but I'm selling my little creation, worked great for hosting with StorJ. Thought someone else might be interested.

I have uploaded several videos some of them around 30 minutes and on PC I can replay them no problem but on mobile the player freezes and doesn't work.

Just saw an official announcement titled “Discontinuation of the Storj Free Tier” on the forum, I haven’t received any emails about this despite this being announced 11 days ago…?!

Current users have until March 31 to upgrade to Pro account to continue using Storj

Here’s the linkDiscontinuation of the Storj Free Tier

Is anybody else having this issue? It keeps saying HCaptcha Required but there isn’t one to click on 🤷🏼‍♂️. It worked fine last week, but now no matter what browser or setup (ad blocker on/off, VPN on/off etc) I try to login with, I just keep getting the same error.

Assuming I upload a file of 1gb size. I read that storj split it and upload 80 pcs to 89 different nodes and that only 29 of them are needed to reconstruct the file.

Is that means Storj upload 80/29 * my file? (A bit bellow X2.8)?

How much should someone expect to make off 500tb a month?

Hi guys,

Will you release iOS Storj app in future?

I am planning on buying a raspberry pi 4 for running a storj node, but I don't know how much ram I should choose. Thank you for your answers in advance, and I also appreciate any tips on this

Edit: I'm using a 4tb Ironwolf HDD via USB

I uploaded 24.5gb of my data to storj and it is showing 26.8 gb in my dashboard I dont have any other files in my account

This is the first time i am uploading data to my account

Why there is a huge difference?

I want to sell my storj. I was going to send it to coinbase and exchange it for bitcoin. I have about 100 storj tokens on MyEtherWallet which are worth about 73USD. I'm not able to transfer them out of MyEtherWallet because it says:

Your ETH balance is too low Every transaction requires a small amount of ETH to execute. Even if you have tokens to swap, when your ETH balance is close to zero, you won't be able to send anything until you fund your account.

It says i have to purchase ETH but the minimum amount i have to purchase is 50USD and the fee for sending storj outside of MyEtherWallet is about 3USD.

It seems counter productive to do all this. Almost like im getting robbed.

What can i do with these storj? I have the private address/ secret key but im not sure if its the private address for storj or the MyEtherWallet website.

What can i do? I don't really know what MyEtherWallet is. I only kept storj on there that i've had for many years.

Came in on etherscan, but that the only place i can see it, there is nothing new in the wallet where storj pays out to. Is this spam/some kind of scam to lure people in and give up their keys or something? I dont think that website is safe so i dont want to visit it.

Anybody else got this when checking your balance using etherscan?

I find storj is giving 150gb of storage for free

I am paying around 25$ for 200gb in google drive and i am just consuming 90gb in it

If i can shift my data from google drive to storj i can save 25$ 😁

Is it as simple as i said or is there any catch for that free 150gb

Is there anyone here doing this in the same machine?

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I've been working on to host a Storj node, but I'm also interested in running Pi-hole alongside this to monitor my network traffic.

Would Pi-hole cause any issues with a Storj node on the same device? I am wondering if I would need to manually set the DNS server per device to point at Pi-hole, rather than have my router point at the Pi for the entire network, to avoid any sort of a bottleneck on Storj.

I have several dedicated high-performance computers (64 cores per computer) . can I share with storj and get some extra cash?

So I'll be moving to a new house soon and would like to know if there's anything I have to do after moving the node to a new location.

I have a single HDD node running on a pi 4 port forwarded for NOIP as per the setup instructions.

Hello, i need help. I searched everywhere for the project's tokenomics and i can't find any reliable source. Why do people buy storj token when they can pay with any other cryptocurrency?

https://forum.storj.io/t/is-there-a-price-reduction-plan/24890/45

Wdu think? Is the price actually misleading? For me its starts to feel that Storj has a shady smell...

Is there any way to run grafana and Prometheus monitoring for windows gui storage nodes

If I have a pro account (by mistake) and if I not use it, have store 3 mb, and I'm not intending to upload more than 20 gb. Will I be charge anyway, I tried to remove my card, but it seems that it's not possible and there is no way to cancel any subscription.

Thanks.

I get my Storj payout in Metmask wallet on Eth network. Is there a way to cheaply transfer out and sell storj tokens without paying hefty Eth gas fee ?
