Helping the network become profitable — what can operators contribute while staying viable? (calculator inside)

@littleskunk

No i am not.

In term of payment ration perhaps not, but not everyone is running 8 nodes on 8 drives with 8 IPs.
But that is not what we are talking about right now, reduction is not even on Storj plans.

I am trying to match current payout, while making things better for the network the be profitable.

I am trying to comply with this:

@GfTmbH

There is no economically useful SNO-cut range: a small cut is immaterial, a large cut destroys supply, and a 100% cut destroys the business.

@GfTmbH

Lock the rates for at least 24 months with no automatic reduction. Any later change requires published impact and operator-concentration analysis plus six months’ notice. A lower expansion factor is acceptable only with compensation neutrality per logical customer TB.

this is official from storj!

You can disagree with it, it is fine, but right now at this very moment the best solution is match while improving the profitability of the network.

Later we can all talk about dialing that nob a bit back on the price per TB.

This is already a giant step, I assume predictability is what you need get out of Chapter 11, this in my opinion makes things more predictable.
