node VS siad

Github: https://github.com/mysteriumnetwork/node/releases/tag/1.19.21 Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~mysteriumnetwork/+archive/ubuntu/node-pre.

Yes, it's visible on goroutine profile, provided by built-in profiler pprof. E.g.: https://github.com/mysteriumnetwork/node/issues/5311#issueco...

however, i have not been on the mysterium.network website or following updates lately, until now. the following new link (https://docs.mysterium.network/for-node-runners/payout-guide), now shows 2 different contract addresses (one of them appears to be for ethereum main net): 0x4Cf89ca06ad997bC732Dc876ed2A7F26a9E7f361

You can also earn some money with something like mysterium.network

Upgrade to the latest node version. https://github.com/mysteriumnetwork/node/releases/tag/1.9.4

https://github.com/mysteriumnetwork/node * All communications are done through Wireguard so your communications are encrypted with SSL. That leaves the node runner or anyone else in the same network for that matter unable to analyze your traffic or inspect it. They would only see scrambled that if they chose to analyze this with Wireguard. * Law wise is dependent on your country...there is 1 known issue in Germany in 5 years and is recommended to then enable "Only partner traffic" which is a whitelisted traffic. But in other EU countries there are no issues, I live in Spain and there are no issues law wise.

Node should run properly and UI has some issues: https://github.com/mysteriumnetwork/node/issues/5049

I posted here but not sure if I did right but I will link my problem: Linux failed to lookup host · Issue #4507 · mysteriumnetwork/node (github.com)

The web is evolving, and Web3 technologies are revolutionizing traditional industries, including video streaming. Platforms like Odysee are leading the charge, offering decentralized alternatives to YouTube and Rumble. Similarly, unlike legacy providers like Google Drive and Dropbox, Sia is transforming data storage, providing a privacy-focused and user-centric approach.

🏠 Sia Website

For example, decentralized data storage projects like Filecoin, Arweave, and Sia posted 50-100% user growth, providing blockchain-powered alternatives to AWS, Google Cloud, and Dropbox for distributed app data security.

Sia - A decentralized data storage platform where the proof of work helps maintain the network and provide storage services.

Sia

If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?).

Not sure what you aught to do, but I will say the 2 projects Im paying attention to are https://www.helium.com/mine and https://sia.tech/

For consumer storage, Sia, Storj, and Vult (on Züs) can be good options since they are architecturally lower cost because of the erasure code technology. But for enterprise storage, among the available platforms, there isn’t a direct competitor to AWS S3 except for Zus, and archive storage, Filecoin is the best alternative, and for consumer storage, Storj, Sia, and Züs offer better options for fast retrieval times.

As long as your needs are not beyond a TB, you can always consider something that does not require an actual "login" or a national currency, such as using SIAcoin (https://sia.tech). The cost for a terabyte hosted in two places often will cost you under the equivalent of $6-8 per month. It takes getting used to, but since it is blockchain based, it might even be possible for you to mine the means of paying for your cloud storage if what you actually need hosted is low enough.
