First off, hello! Payouts are now complete. We paid 598 unique wallet addresses on layer 1. All of these wallet addresses earned enough that the payment fee was 1/4th of the payout amount or less (but see below for future months!). There is no specific minimum payout threshold dollar amount, but it…

Is there not an easy solution here. Stop the onboarding of new nodes until demand requires it. We all hopefully get paid more because data is shared between fewer people. Where as @SGC said newer nodes will quit because of not having earn’t any money but also having a negative opinion of Storj as a …

There is no need to artificially limit the growing, the economics will work better. See [image] Does anyone know what is the size of an average Storj Node? I don’t see how anyone will start with StorJ … he/she will need 5+ years to build up a 10+TB node. So, there would be only long running …

[image] penfold: Yet, what I am actually hearing at the moment is “It isn’t our responsibility to do blah ” Storj accepting L2 payments from SNO’s is part of ensuring the economic viability of operators. I’m very sorry you don’t see it that way. My previous statement: [image] heunland: I…

I just converted my nodes to zkSync payments, although as a long-term operator, I could pass the fee thresholds to be paid on L1, even at 10%. With all the development going on in zkSync, it looks like it’ll become a full-fledged L2 solution in short order with zkSync 2.0 and zkEVM . As @Alexey menti…

[image] jtolio: Adding a 10% bonus to all L2 payouts Will it start for October payments? Or it’s still a proposition?

[image] Alexey: Please, note - we would not like to spent time to implement functions on other blockchains - it’s out of our scope and goals: we offer a decentralized encrypted cloud storage, not blockchains. But you spend time in zksync - in my opinion a broken solution for the SNOs :wink: …

[image] unrealSpeedy: But you spend time in zksync We spent time to implement an universal support of wallet features. Now we are able to split payouts by wallet features and send them separatelly. We did not spent time to implement integration of ERC20 tokens to zkSync, this was done by Mat…

Just to clarify things: Is the “Adding a 10% bonus to all L2 payouts” plan just a suggestion for debate? Or is it something that has been decided and will be applied from now on (starting on November payments)?

Reasonable question, but the way it was posted with an expected implementation date made it seem like a promise. People (including me) have already acted on that promise. [image] jtolio: We expect this will go into effect for October earnings that will be paid in the month of November. I’d s…

so when will we finally know the exact payout threshold?
