i thought about the issue with held amount a bit in the past.
my eventual conclusion was that held amount needs to mirror the data stored.
so lets make it fairly easy then…
egress during GE is unpaid, so i argue that a reasonable amount would be the TB egress rate.
well the egress rates is a bit annoying to easily calculate for all sats, so i will a rough estimate.
there are how many sats now 3 or 4 sats?
did GE for 3 of mine… so don’t really know lol… sorry
i think its 4
at 5, 6 and 10 $ pr TB egress = ill call that a 7$ pr TB egress avg
thus a 10TB node would have 70$ in minimum held amount… until GE
because else why bother with GE.
uploading 10TB is a massive challenge for most.
there is no loss to Storj for this… also less repair costs because people would care more.
i would also suggest that held amount is always collected, until the minimum is meet.
so as a node grows, the reward for doing the GE also grows.
this is the only sensible way i’ve been able to come up with.
ofc this would be on a satellite basis and based on the individual sat egress rate and the amount of data stored by the storagenode for that satellite.
just trying to show that the numbers would be in line with what i would consider reasonable.
when considering how much load a GE causes.
