  Let me chime im, being active in this space for some month... It is not my impression that bandwith is a signficant obstacle... The pattern I see is files are stored and not an awful lot of net traffic thereafter...
  I have said this many times in the forum; the demand afterstorage in the SIA network is not there yet... We have less than 2% utilization and a lot of new hosts joining... It took me months to fill just 200GB of space.

  The world of SIA needs now a good way to implement use cases that can boost demand for storage..

  @Vodkanakas count everything that you wouldn't be doing normally. I.e. if you let it run at 100W 24/7, then it's only the increase that costs extra.

  @edmundspriede said in allowance expiry:

  If the entire allowance period elapses and you do not renew your allowance, your hosts will delete your files, leaving them unrecoverable.

  [...] so if i run out of siacoin, or something else goes wrong i can loose all data?

  Why yes, of course! This is the essence of cloud services; you don't own, you just rent. In this case you rent storage space and buy for upload/download.

  It can be even worse than the example you give - your files may still be stored on hosts, but if you don't have enough coins to pay for the download, then you won't get them back.

  Meaning - if your files are critical to you, then always have enough money ready to buy for backing them up & recovering them and to pay the rent. If not, then feel free to use a free service, with the security, performance and availability guarantees that these come with...

  @Crypto_Addict seed is tied to this wallet, and it's everything you need to recover the wallet and all its addresses & transactions. At least that's what I'm told, haven't tried it myself, tbh :)

  Yes... you choose the price yourself - als for the bandwith.
  These days with so many new hosts coming in and no added demand for storage it is difficult to attract renters...
