Earnings calculator (Update 2024-07-28: v14.1.0 - Now shows garbage collection progress! - Detailed earnings info and health status of your node, including vetting progress and garbage collection status)

Looks like our Storj friends are going to keep me busy. Just to get ahead of things, this calculator will break completely in an upcoming version of the storagenode.
When this commit goes life, it will break the calculator. storagenode: add bandwidth DB write cache · storj/storj@962ff04 · GitHub

As of now, I don’t know what version it’s going to be in and I’ll try to get ahead of it when it goes live on test nodes. But I can’t make any promises to have a new version available on time for production release. The changes seem fairly significant for the purposes of the calculator and may also result in different and possibly incorrect data even when I’ve made the required adjustments, at least for now. There is nothing I can do about that as that’s the result of Storj (rightfully) prioritizing performance optimization over 100% correct bandwidth usage reporting.

A lot is still unclear to me until I have a node running with this new version.
