Make first $1 or so paid to the SNO be in ETH and not STORJ

[SGC]

i think that kind of breaks the ecosystem, or whatever it’s called.
the idea being that SNO’s are paid in Storj which can be sold to companies so they can get a discount using the tokens for Tardigrade Services.

Thus it’s a closed cycle basically…
sadly i don’t have a better solution to the problem.

looks like this might end up being the solution, but not really sure…

Who needs some free initial ETH?

For everyone needing initial ETH in order to access your tokens, you may want to consider the new L2 solution. Transaction costs will be a little higher, but you can pay them with STORJ tokens, so you can avoid having to buy ETH or rely on the kindness of others to get access to your earnings. After having collected enough earnings you could then transfer your earnings to an exchange and get your own ETH if you want to switch back to L1 payouts to save on transaction costs. May be easier to jus…

can’t always expect the solution to look exactly like the feature request suggestions.

L2 Payouts with Zksync

zkSync is exactly that. So yes storj labs is using L2 to batch token transfers and save gas. That point is also fulfilled. Again you described the situation we expect to get with zkSync.
