The exchange rate is queried and updated every 5 seconds during payout sending. So any node will get the USD amount they earned converted to STORJ using the most recent available exchange rate. This will assure that people that got their payouts earlier and were able to cash out immediately would end up getting the same approximate amount in terms of USD as someone who didn’t get their payout until hours later.
