5 years ago 👋 Hey! Thanks for this contribution. Apologies for the delay in responding!
We've decided to rearchitect Storj, so that we can scale better. You can read more about this decision here. This means that we are entirely focused on v3 at the moment, in the storj/storj repository. Our white paper for v3 is coming very, very soon - follow along on the blog and in our Rocketchat.
As this repository is part of the v2 network, we're no longer maintaining this repository. I am going to close this for now. If you have any questions, I encourage you to jump on Rocketchat and ask them there. Thanks!
Package Versions
Expected Behavior
Once contracts expire, and are not renewed, files are deleted (they are supposed to disappear completely from the bucket).
Actual Behavior
Shards are deleted but file names are not. I have a lot of buckets with a lot of files that are not accessible anymore, but their name is still there. Implementing renewal of contracts will not fix this, because if a user does not pay for storage space, only shards will deleted, whereas filenames will remain available inside buckets. At this moment, a filename (that can be a very long string) could be exploited for storing data for free (and forever?).
