Glad I dodged this bullet. Last year I dedicated my Intel Nuc i3, 8 gb Ram with a 500gb hard drive but the amount of files/contracts was so low that eventually I shut it down.

I'm very surprised about the 128 gigs of ram requirement, guess this network isn't that decentralized as promised. Anyway, from the beginning it easy to see that competing against something like AWS S3 would be super super hard if not impossible.

With a low token price, electricity costs, hardware costs and your ISP asking about your absurd bandwidth use, I would be shocked if anyone can actually make a profit on this.

What did you expect in terms of revenue offering 500 GB to the network?
I was just testing the waters, the idea seems futurist and reasonable. The price of token wasn't set back then and the company decided to inject some capital with a fixed return over a period of 2 year I believe, don't remember the amount but I know it was very generous.
