Yes the $1 egress rate is for customer downloads, repair, and audit.
That is the plan but I will have to ask for confirmation how exactly we do it.
I don’t see how that is even possible so no.
That is a question for the payout in October. I don’t know the answer. I believe for nodes that started GE 32 days ago we can payout the held amount. It is not a hugh amount. But to be fair there was no final decision on that one yet. We could still end up with a no. The next few days will reveal that.
