# Community 1

community1-vahfoom3iquahfah is the first community to contribute Cluster Nodes and File Nodes to the [vahfoom3iquahfah infinite disk team](https://discuss.88.io/t/vahfoom3iquahfah/640).

## 1. Clusters Available

We plan to provide one cluster for small file layer and one cluster for large file layer, across as many independent [compute stations](https://computestation.com) as possible.

| Demo Cluster | Individual Files should be smaller than 32GB |
| --- | --- |
| Cluster Node Number | 16 |
| File Nodes Number | 32GB |
| File Node Size | 10GB |
| File Chunk Size | 8GB |
| Maximum Network Delay | 30ms |
| Redundancy Shard Number | 6 of 16 |

To increase faulty node isolation within a cluster, File Node Stations are NOT allowed to service multiple Cluster Node Stations within the same cluster.

# Prices

## 1. Buying Storage

Currently (2024-10-25) the pricing for the community1-vahfoom3iquahfah cluster is based on a DISCOUNTING one tier off Apple iCloud+ worldwide pricing.

> **[iCloud+ plans and pricing – Apple Support (AU)](https://support.apple.com/en-au/108047)**
>
> When you sign up for iCloud, you’ll automatically get 5GB of free storage. If you need more space in iCloud, you can upgrade to iCloud+.

For example, if you are in Australia using the Australia prices (in AUD):

| Storage | Apple iCloud+ | community1-vahfoom3iquahfah |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 50GB | $1.49 | $0.00 |
| 200GB | $4.49 | $1.49 |
| 2TB | $14.99 | $4.49 |
| 6TB | $44.99 | $14.99 |
| 12TB | $89.99 | $44.99 |

Since Infinite Disk File Nodes can be worldwide, the Australian prices above applies to location use to access the vahfoom3iquahfah infinite disk.

### Pioneer Bonus

If you are the first 1000 [Compute Owner](https://computeowner.com) in your country, you can join our [Citizen Startup](https://citizenstartup.com) program and get 200GB instead of 50GB for free.

## 2. Selling Storage

By 2024-10 we have reached the minimum 48 compute stations (16 Cluster Node Stations and 32 File Node Stations) required to start operation as a community under vahfoom3iquahfah.

Join us to help grow the world's first Infinite Disk to thousands of compute stations, the more compute stations we have, the more choices we have in mapping our nodes onto them!

- **File Node Hosting**  
Almost anyone can host File Nodes on their compute stations, if they have 8GB or more of unused storage on their local disk or simply by plugging in old USB Flash drives they no longer use.

- **Cluster Node Hosting**  
Hosting Cluster Nodes is more difficult, as we require a minimum of 40Mbps link upload speed and the average network latency to the 15 other cluster nodes must be less than 30ms with a packet loss of less than 3%.

### 2.1. Stage 1 - Trial

You need to set up start a File Node in your [Compute Station](https://computestation.com) and run it continuously for at least one calendar month with a maximum 6 hours of problem time (duration when you are providing no service or poor service). If that 6 hours in total within a whole calendar month of operation is exceeded, then you have to try again in the next calendar month until you have reached below 6 hours (360 minutes) within a full calendar month.

### 2.2. Stage 2 - Reciprocal

After at least one full calendar month of continuous Stage 1 operation with total problem duration below 6 hours in the past month, you can apply to be moved to Stage 2.

Besides receiving the [vahfoom3iquahfah free storage](https://discuss.88.io/t/vahfoom3iquahfah/640/2) from the team, all Stage 2 owners hosting File Nodes also receives reciprocal storage that is equal to the amount they are hosting.

For example, vahfoom3iquahfah works in units of 8GB, if you have contributed 8GB in a month (with problem duration below 6 hours) you will receive extra 8GB of free reciprocal storage.

Basically the larger the storage you can contribute without problems, the more free reciprocal storage you receive.

### 2.3. Stage 3 - Income

After at least one full calendar month of continuous Stage 2 operation with total problem duration below 6 hours in the past month, you can apply to be moved to Stage 3.

Stage 3 owners can share into the income that the community makes.

The use of District Building Name instead of Local Building Name increases privacy of the Infinite Disk Node owner.

The location of the node is always given as the center of the District Area, so for g\_randwick\_aunsw the centroid is at latitude -33.9455386 and longitude 151.2396038.

All District Building Name are formatted at the time of creation using the base36 representation of the unix timestamp in seconds plus 4 random digits.  
e.g.  
base36 of 1730340785 and 1234 together is "64t2q9uxu"
