2026 September payment is finished

Node Operators

The payment has been finished for all wallets. The housekeeping is still running (updating DB to show the right amount on SNO dashboards.

The payment includes the difference between last pre-payment and real usage + new prepayment for the next month.

This was the very first payment with using USDC. And the good news, the payment process worked well with the new token type.

Unfortunately we also had some unexpected issues:

  • Most of the pre-payments where calculated with slightly higher value (which means next time you may see lower payment)
  • No prepayment were calculated for nodes with status InWithholding (nodes younger than 15 month old). This should be fixed, as the long term intention is doing prepayment for these nodes, but incorporate the held amount calculation to the pre-payment estimation.

With two important notes:

  • These problems are related only to prepayments. The usage of past month was properly paid out for everybody.
  • Every new payment is using old balance, so all previous over/under payment is fixed with next payment

We are checking how to avoid similar problems in the future and exploring options make the current balance of an operator more visible / more transparent.

It looks like the payments went out continuously too? No stops and starts like previous months. Hooray! :money_mouth_face:

That’s great news! Really nice outlook :slight_smile:

Sow if someone was overpaid last month, the this month got less? some people writes that they got less than should be.

I see September payout in the dashboard, but the numbers seem to be using old rates.

Is this the reason why these values don’t add up?

Please try to restart the node.

Just wanna say that I appreciate that I received the UDSC payment to my address with no noticeable friction on my end.

I know storj is undergoing a stressful time with the bankruptcy, so I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothed it work (for me personally, anyway).

12

Now it got worse. Which of the different numbers are correct?

All of them. Where is the perceived discrepancy?

14

Are you asking me? The 8.56 for a start. It’s 2x4.28. Why?

My guess is that 4.28 is correct and the difference to the paid 5.06 is the difference from last month. But I’d like an official explanation.

15

Lol. I misread your screenshot. But the explanation is in the top post. It’s a mix of shenanigans of prepayment and underpayments and what not. The how much node has earned shall be reported correctly by now (restart the node if you haven’t done it yet), the actual amount paid will not match for current, past and probably future months, but eventually it will be reconciled

I haven’t received the USDC payment yet. How can you check whether it has been sent?

DB have payout section, “View On Etherscan”

Hello, I am a Storj storage node operator and I have not received my September earnings payout.

My payout address is:
0x2060616EeD42ba0Dd70790A461f0F61A39559acC

I checked my address on Etherscan. I can only see my previous STORJ payments, from 34 and 62 days ago. There is no new USDC transfer.

Your announcement says that the September usage payout was completed for everyone. Could you please check whether my payout was sent and provide the transaction hash?

Thank you.

Hello @curtigiovanni83,
Welcome to the forum!

Since you started only recently, the prepayment cannot be calculated for your node. Your earnings should be shown as Undistributed payout on the Payout Info page of your dashboard and should be added to the next payout cycle.

My multi node Dashboard shows now -36 USD undistributed payout. But I can finally receive payouts on Binance again, wuhu! Happy that it worked flawlessly for me :slight_smile:

If you are an EU resident I would recommend to do not risk to lose your funds.
All EU residents must use only private wallets for payouts due to MiCA.
If your funds will be locked, we will be unable to help you. In most cases you will lose these funds.

Yeah, I have read it here numerous times in the forum, but I never had trouble on Binance receiving funds from any address. I have a fully verified Binance account and never had to verify any address I got funds from​:thinking: Did anyone else got problems from Binance and is living in Germany?
