Let's talk about the elephant in the room: The Storj economic model (node operator payout model)

I’m seeing about 800GB ingress + 100GB repair ingress in the last 2 months. But I think the difference you see compared to the earnings estimator is more because the loss to vetting is actually less than calculated. I adjusted both numbers a little based on some new nodes I started myself. It now seems to match what you saw.

(and yeah, I adjusted it a little faster than I normally do, because I prefer waiting for at least 3 months to see a trend reliably change, but I think the past month and a half combined with Storj’s statements around growth probably present a reliable enough basis to update.)

Let me know if it looks better to you now.
