Double payouts are not enough!

@SGC

i think we have established long ago that the double payout was to equalize the decrease in egress over the last month, which was about 50% of the normal… which was why they decided to double it.

@SGC

so yeah i highly doubt double payout was aimed at fixing your loss.

there’s a lot of speculation in here, do you have any public announcement about that? Was the double
payout really just to up the earnings because egress got lower?

Well I do have a public announcement and it says differently:

@jocelyn

We also want to explicitly thank you for your patience with us as we’ve continued to improve the network and work out kinks and bugs, some which have resulted in less payouts than you’d expect.

STORJlabs wants to thank us for keeping up the good “work” despite all the bugs and kinks during development. Lower egress can hardly be called a “kink”.
