[volunteergrid2-l] Should we increase the node minimum capacity?

[Shawn Willden]

That's perfectly reasonable.  I assumed we'd take a few months to
change the requirement.

One other point we should consider:  I think we'd all like to see more
nodes added to the grid.  Is anyone concerned that increasing the
minimum storage requirement from 500 GB to 1 TB might deter someone
from joining the grid?  Given that 2 TB is the current "sweet spot"
for hard drive storage (in $/T), I wouldn't think it would be a
concern, but I'm definitely open to other opinions... especially of
the form "My friend would like to join the grid but he could only do
500 GB."  Growing node count is more important than growing node
capacity, IMO.
