Just thinking here.
I use storj.io to store some backup data. I also run a storj node.
The storj node has approx 6TB of data on it - so it pays a few $ every month. This gets paid to me as storj tokens to a wallet which I then send to storj to add to my balance at storj.io. My storj payouts just about cover my storj.io useage charges at the moment
Can I cut out the middle man? Storj.io (my storage account) has a deposit address that hasn’t changed that I have noticed. Could I not use that in the container as my deposit address - so all my massive earnings (not) go straight to my storj.io storage account as a credit?

I think this is a very reasonable idea.

We implemented this feature already some time ago, you can just enter your Storj Account’s deposit address as your nodes’ payout address, and your payouts will automatically be used to top off your Storj Account’s token balance, with a 10% bonus. Note that the STORJ token balance will be stored as the USD equivalent of the tokens deposited, at the time the deposit arrived, so there will be no further STORJ price related volatility to worry about.

I already have a pro account
Change to storj.io deposit account made. That removes a monthly (well bi-monthly) job from my list
