I’ve been wondering what’s happening in the crypto market lately. Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a small spike in Storj. To jump 45 %, there must be whales buying the token, or could it be an event driven by Inveniam ? [1000046670] [1000046671] However, looking at the longer term, it seem…

There are like 5000 SNO that all agreed to be SNO based on the present T&C, including to be payed in Storj token. On this forum we are very few active, and like 10-20 SNO that advocate for changing the payment method. We should not forget about the rest and not speak for everyone else. Maybe the maj…

[image] snorkel: But between fiat and Storj token, I will always prefer the token, and not because I hold some. I’m curios to know why. Why do you prefer more complex, fragile, and volatile solution? [image] snorkel: Maybe the majority are OK with the current way and dosen’t want any cha…

I’m also fine with STORJ payouts. I understand they’re still working hard to reach profitability and that using treasury tokens is helping keep the lights on - so it seems like a good business decision. It’s easy enough to swap/sell them in a couple minutes I’d also be OK if payouts change one day …

[image] snorkel: On this forum we are very few active, and like 10-20 SNO that advocate for changing the payment method. No, offering additional ways is at least what I am advocating for. [image] jammerdan: For the SNO choice of how to get paid would be optimal. Here is an example what c…

[image] Alexey: It seems not everyone fully understands how complex this is. Even simple W8-BEN got so many frictions.. https://payouts.com/vendor-portal/ Transform complex document collection into automated workflows. The system automatically requests, validates, and tracks required docum…

As I said: [image] Alexey: Perhaps there are other providers that can do this for you, like Deel or similar, but then all SNOs must be contractors or employees, there are mandatory rules governing this x124, and so on, plus additional fees. All of this could easily lead to payouts being reduced…

[image] Alexey: Would you agree on 50% payout cut? Why should there be a 50% payout cut?

Because it depends on how much these providers charge, some have a fixed amount based on number of recipients, some just take their percent for each point - the paperwork, the transfer, taxation, etc. Also depends on the used transfer method, some may take 30% only because of the used payment method…

[image] Alexey: I don’t know, how much your providers would charge, but I guess, not less than other which I used… Have you ever had a strange neighbor… who sometimes just stands on their lawn and yells at the clouds? And you can’t really reason with them… and they’re not affecting anything… …

Thank you! I just wants to explain, that nothing is simple there with money transfers between a company and the contractor, even if you may think it’s simple for the other side. I did think the same… Until I meet a hard reality.
