Thank you for a refreshing bullshit-free update with lots of juicy tech news.
The focus on sorting the uploads is obviously welcomed.
The notion that part of the problem at least is due to people not upgrading to the latest version makes a lot of sense. The nodewhales (if I can call them that) are hoovering up the emisions and have little incentive to upgrade. In fact it may be in their interest to keep things as they are, their(our) money flows in, we have difficulty doing uploads and filling the network so the whales have no need to put their (lack of actual) storage where there mouth is.
TBH if YOU were running a few million nodes right now, would you upgrade and put your emissions rewards at risk? I wouldn’t and my Director of Finance wouldn’t let me either.
So maybe time to temporarily tweak the emissions and sod the white Paper for a wee while?
Having said, despite my very vocal moaning yesterday as the evening wore on, I could see the upload situation just maybe getting a little better and I was able at last to get some more content up. Why not try some uploads yourselves? If they succeed then add to the wiki at Community Public File Directory and do YOUR bit by adding your succesful uploads AND downloading as many of these files as you can please.
This got me excited, Really love to see where this leads.
So thanks as always to everyone for their efforts and its great to see our concerns being addressed.
