That’s not a bad idea to include. I don’t think there is a very reliable way to determine it and it differs per satellite. Maybe it can be derived from bandwidth rollups, but I’m not certain that data goes all the way back. I can look into it, but no promises. It has to be reliable otherwise it’s just showing misinformation. ---

If I understand correctly, you’d want the total line to only count egress traffic. I think that would be confusing since all traffic is listed there. Furthermore repair and audit downloads are usually negligible, so you can just look at the download line to know how much egress there was. ---

That’s right… But! As an option in my example… 40.49 GB(103.17) or 103,17(40.49) For me, the first option is preferable, since in the same line, the dollar amount takes into account it, it is useful traffic, not total traffic. The total bandwidth of course should be specified, but it looks good in brackets (—) ---

> [@Pavmer](#): > > For me, the first option is preferable, since in the same line, the dollar amount takes into account it, it is useful traffic, not total traffic. There’s already a line displaying the Egress and the estimated payment… Duplicating that line at the bottom is highly unnecessary. BTW, if you want a quick guesstimate of Egress payout, you can just multiply the web dashboard egress value by $20.00 USD per TB. ---

> [@peem](#): > > Is there any date in the database when SN started operation? How long has SN been working for? I had to compromise a bit on this one, since nodes didn’t keep old bandwidth data prior to some time in April. I added a note to mention dates before May 2019 may not be correct. ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/5/58eb4bfddb1338166c8d2511223c2596f4f9a396.png) ## v8.1.0 - First contact - Added first contact date to display when the node first dealt with each satellite - Made use of additional space to display slightly more descriptive uptime and audit scores - Optional note when first contact date is prior to May 2019. As nodes didn’t keep bandwidth history prior to some time in April, dates before May are not reliable. This is only displayed when dates before May 2019 are found. ---

@Alexey now that we’re back with a mostly up to date forum, it seems the state is from just before you converted this topic to a wiki. You mentioned I can do it myself, but I can’t see the option anywhere. I’m pretty sure the option is missing for me. Could you perhaps do it again? Edit: Looks like I can do it for my current post but not for the top post. I think I can only convert my posts to wiki’s when they are less than a month old. Same as how long I can edit. I assume after it’s converted though, that time out no longer applies. ---

> [@tankmann](#): > > synology NAS You don’t need to install anything extra on your NAS. The BASH script connects to the SN API… So, all you need is a LAN connection to the host running the SN. My script isn’t pretty, but it works OK for my purposes, and doesn’t require that I stop the node. I don’t want to clutter up this thread with my own stuff. I should have created a new thread. ---

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using the earnings calculator without stopping the node on synology on the live databases. It should be safe on Linux. Definitely don’t do this on Windows or MacOS docker installations though. I theory it should be safe on windows GUI installations too, but I have not tested this. I’ve been overly careful with the warnings, but I think the issues are isolated to docker setups on OS’s that use virtualization for docker. ---

Please note that there is no historical information kept for this data, therefor it is only displayed when looking … > [@BrightSilence](#): > > I wanted to add a little explanation on the uptime and audit scores. I chose to multiply the actual scores by 1000 for several reasons. The first is that there was limited space in the layout and the original scores between 0 and 1 waste two positions on 0. for every score except a perfect score. I also wanted to keep 3 significant positions in order to give a good indication of how far from perfect the scores exactly are. And last, I didn’t want to display the numbers as a percentage or even suggesting that it’s a percentage by using 100 as the max. The scores added here are not the percentages you see on the web dashboard, but the actual scores used for reputation and disqualification. Edit: let me actually add a little bit more to that. The web dashboard shows rather meaningless life time percentages. This is not what’s actually used to determine current reputation. The scores in this earnings calculator represent the current reputation scores for uptime and audits that are actually used by satellites in node selection and disqualification. They represent recent performance of the node rather than a life time performance. ---
