Just curious where I stand with everyone else… Unfortunately I had a drive failure and lost my original node a couple years ago…. I have two nodes running at home and they’re earning about $5.30/mo per node with 6.5TB stored total.

Something does not add up there. What is _average_ stored per month, not the amount of storage at the end?

> **[Payout - Storj Docs](https://storj.dev/node/payouts)**

If that was an average amount of data stored you should see at least $10 just for storing data, before accounting for egress and repair.

If you don’t — it may mean your node stores trash from low TTL data.

Post screenshots from the dashboard, and you can also see breakdown under the payout information link in the dashboard.

Comparable size my node as of today:

Like 30-40 bucks a month and that’s with four nodes across more disks and been running for like 2.5 years.

Don’t wonder why it looks so weird, Multinode dashboard is not optimized for mobile use.  
My nodes sadly don’t have any lucky pieces either ☹

It is a matter of customers uploads and downloads. Obviously this SNO has one or more pieces that are requested a lot. Therefore it has been referred to as “lucky nodes” or “lucky pieces”. It is like a lottery. Not much you can do about it other than participate and cross your fingers.

Of course it is Storjs responsibilty to find more and more customers who upload and download more and more.
