Well last emissions (supposedly) has just minutes ago been sent. Great timing on my part having only just now turned on my computer.

So if there is to be a mass exodus then it should happen over the next 1 to 24 hours.

Atm, none of my uploaded files are available. But Iā€™m a mess with the hashes, so itā€™s possible some of it could still be patched together somehow.

Kinda sad, early days tho.

Donā€™t tell Peter ā€œGoogle Attackā€ whatsisname. :rofl:

Perhaps now we will turn back towards a decentralised network using legacy hardware and spare resources. :crossed_fingers:

Now, if we can just strip out the token completely, there will be no incentive to centralize the network ever again!

As an added bonus, people will be able to store their data for free! Itā€™s a win-win for everybody!

they will be free to store there data at home on there hard drives as there will be no nodes if there are no rewards.

Well, thereā€™s at least a little bit of storage from my nodes that arenā€™t earning anything right now that you guys can use. The whole point was to give up spare hard drive space.

How about we dont chunk or encrypt, all the nosey neighbors will run nodes for free. :rofl:

Edit: that was obvs a joke, but the idea may have legs as a fork.

A sharing network :laughing:

See now weā€™re talking. Autonomi can offer three tiers of service. The paid for storage solution, the free storage solution, and the unencrypted storage solution.

We can maybe deduce, that incentives do work. They just need to be aligned with the goals, and nothing else but the goals.

Though the marketing department should market that as a ā€œFree Plus -solutionā€.

the fact the whales knew emissions were ending they could have steeped there node count down over a few days to lessen the shock to the network but looks like they wanted every last fraction of a cent before pulling the plug in a single catastrophic shock.

I like whales, would suggest a few more appropriate names here but probably best via dm.
