Payout feedback

22 posts were split to a new topic: Testing Garbage collector

I see payouts are starting up again. Good to see early payouts are becoming a trend! I received one so far, but I already have a question. In a previous update this was mentioned about surge payouts.

we’re happy to announce we’ll continue surge payouts for November (4X) and December (3X), and January (2X)

However, last month we saw that existing nodes still received 5X surge payouts for November and based on the first payout I received this month, it seems December is at least 4X (I actually received a little more, about 4.3X). What are the surge payout numbers for these months for existing nodes? And how long does your node have to exist to get those?

I was going to explain exactly that point but you figured it out already. Nodes that join before 2018-07-01 still get +1X

I think its 2019-07-01

PS: Still transitioning to 2020 :stuck_out_tongue:

Got one payout transaction this month so far ($4). Hope I wont get only that :slight_smile:

This seems to come up every month, which explains why it’s a FAQ.

January 5, 2020: All monthly SNO payouts for December are complete

Figured I’d post an update with complete payout stats. Keep in min STORJ value was a bit volatile during this payout period, so that may explain some small differences.

In short, not dissimilar to last month. They all look fine to me, got a little more on all but the stefan benten satellite, which I expect is partially as a result of garbage collection only kicking in halfway through the month. Hopefully that will have resolved itself in January. So, looks good and thanks once more!

After a few messy months this month should have been a back to normal one. My node should no longer have any payout held back on all but the saltlake satellite and all delayed payouts should have been fixed last month. Additionally there is no more surge payout that I’m aware of and yet, the payouts seem way too high. Between 2x and 3x. It’s always surprising how you never hear anybody mention that… but try to pay a little less once and everyone complains. Anyway, I’m all about open feedback either way, so here it goes.

So, thanks for the additional payout… but what happened?

Edited to include surge payout.

Did I miss communication about that? If not, you guys might wanna tell people when you’re doing something generous like that. :wink:

Anyway, thanks again!

As far as I know we will communicate that. It was a last minute decision and the only option we had was pay it or hold on.

Awesome! I edited the above post to include the surge payout. It seems spot on. Only europe-west-1 seems to be even a little more generous.

Is it? I read surge payout as = Not enough paying customers (yet). :confounded:

I received 86.026423 Storj for my first month. I was expecting a few cents: D Great! Thank you!

You can be as pessimistic as you want… but getting paid for 2.5x as much as the service you actually provided is a good thing.

i got 214 Storj this month (for march) only… last month (for February)was about 660 Storj…
did not expect it to decrease that much :frowning:

How many payments did you get? It should be 10 for 2 nodes. There was no announcement that the payments have been completed yet.

After subtracting the held amount you should receive ~ 270 STORJ with the surge payment of 2.5x. Last month’s payment included payment of the last week of January and January was an exceptional good month with a lot of testing going on. Otherwise you would have not received 660 STORJ with the stats you provided.

I recieved alot more then expected not complaining at all. Thank you storj

You must use same address for all nodes so there should be total 5 payments (1 for each satellite) irrespective of the number of nodes that SNO runs.
