If you haven’t already, please read the open letter to the community ( An open letter to the Storj token community: the restructuring, the network, and a proposed path to shared ownership ) first. That thread is the place for questions about the restructuring, the token, and the shared-ownership propo…

Switching hats: everything below is me as an operator, not Storj speaking. It’s one setup, and a deliberately efficient one, so I fully expect my tolerances to sit at the forgiving end. Please don’t read my numbers as a target — the point of gathering many is that yours will look different. My Stor…

I will have to add - asking your operators to “break even” is asking them to work for free. I will just leave this here: [image] An open letter to the Storj token community: the restructuring, the network, and a proposed path to shared ownership Announcements …

[image] HGPlays: I will have to add - asking your operators to “break even” is asking them to work for free. Yea not great wording on that part now that you are pointing it out. I must have missed that. The issue with break even is that we all have a different understanding which of the 4 tie…

Anything less than we got now, will make this not worth it for me. And I honestly think people fool themselves if they accept less than we get now. I think the math needs to include: Taxes, Time spent Hardware running cost Power Hardware replacement cost Internet costs. And yes - make the du…

My Storj node payout tiers — rate cut I could absorb (setup private): • Survival: −3% → $1.46 / $1.95 per TB • Barely sustainable: +11% → $1.66 / $2.22 per TB • Slow growth: +38% → $2.07 / $2.76 per TB • Moderate growth: +65% → $2.47 / $3.30 per TB (− = reduction from today’s rates · storage $/…

My Storj node payout tiers — rate cut I could absorb (setup private): • Survival: −33% → $1.00 / $1.33 per TB • Barely sustainable: −10% → $1.35 / $1.80 per TB (− = reduction from today’s rates · storage $/TB · egress $/TB · scaled together per RS balance) I want $1.5/TB storage and $0/TB for eg…

[image] Ruskiem: I want $1.5/TB storage and $0/TB for egress or repair I just need my disk to be filled. $0 per egress would mean storj can reduce costs by lowering the RS numbers to a point where you would see nonstop repair traffic. I would estimate total egress traffic would at least 3x. …

My Storj node payout tiers — rate cut I could absorb (setup private): • Survival: −10% → $1.35 / $1.80 per TB (− = reduction from today’s rates · storage $/TB · egress $/TB · scaled together per RS balance) I think this is affordable only, if the following problems are solved: the inconsistenc…

[image] nyancodex: the inconsistency between the real on-disk occupied data vs what I’m paid for, numbers don’t match. I host many but get paid like 15-20% less, always. If we can solve this, then -10% is acceptable even for long term. My appoligize for that. We have migrated most of the inf…
