(I think we should choose one of the threads and concentrate the discussion there)?

Yes, shall we stay here?

Alternative 1 - the node is allowed partial GE, with the data that it still has with the same requirements as for a normal GE, with the exception that no data later than the backup timestamp is requested. In this case I get part of the escrow money back.
Alternative 2 - the node is allowed to to a “special” partial GE - giving the data it still has to my new node. In this case, I do not get the escrow money.

I am not really familiar with GE. It is my understanding that the date gets downloaded from the node and redistributed to other nodes on the network? Does it create costs for Storj?
I don’t think data downloaded from the initiating node will be paid. And ingress to other nodes would be free. But I believe data must be verified before uploading them to some other host, wouldn’t they?
