Soon our wallet should be fully funded for the payout. We are planning to process the payout starting on Monday. Just to avoid having to fix possible issues over the weekend. ---

It is good to see that you have the cash, on chain and visible to all doubters. ---

> [@andrew2.hart](#): > > visible to all doubters This problem does not need solving, and storj does not need to have to prove anything to anyone. I don’t see the benefit in reassuring people who distrust everything. That’s between them and their team of therapists. ---

Haha you hate crypto so much that you can’t admit any benefit. You can’t even allow anyone else. Perhaps you’ll drag out some nonsense like greater fool ‘theory’ again. …anyway…that’s my session with my psychiatrist over. I just meant, with chapter 11, it is good to see a positive signal ---

> [@andrew2.hart](#): > > Haha you hate crypto so much that you can’t admit any benefit Crypto is not a religion. It’s a technology with a domain of applicability, like any other. You use it where it solves a problem and the benefits justify the drawbacks. Worshipping it and shoving it everywhere regardless of actual utility is bullshit. So is presenting its drawbacks as benefits. Whether I “hate crypto” has no bearing on whether a particular use makes sense. ---

The satellite has processed a few USDC deposits. That part is confirmed working as well. ---

I’ve been receiving my STORJ payouts to my KuCoin wallet via the ERC-20 network. However, I recently checked and found that the same wallet address is also listed for USDC on the ERC-20 network. So, I haven’t changed anything, but I haven’t received a payout yet. Is this normal? ---

Hello @mZoleee, Welcome to the forum! Please read this: > [@Storj is moving node operator payouts and customer deposits to USDC](https://forum.storj.io/t/storj-is-moving-node-operator-payouts-and-customer-deposits-to-usdc/32809/266): > > Soon our wallet should be fully funded for the payout. We are planning to process the payout starting on Monday. Just to avoid having to fix possible issues over the weekend. Today is not Monday and still weekend, so nothing is started yet. I cannot confirm that your exchange will process it correctly though. It’s better to consult with their documentation and/or their suppport. ---

I just saw this thread, and only now updated to USDT/USDC ERC20 address. Will I still be paid for September or is it just lost because i was late..? Edit: just noticed it will start on Monday. I guess I’m still on time 🙂 Edit2: and yes i also only noticed after updating - that it hasn’t changed from the Binance previous Storj wallet address I had for ERC20, it is exactly the same. ---

We should probably expect another announcement, right? Because what I see in my UDSC-wallet looks like the change from buying a soda. ---

Oh yeah, payouts started about an hour ago? I saw at least one $1000+ payment sent to someone - so they seem to be the “real thing”. Can’t wait! 🤑 ![2026-10-12 08_storj_payouts](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/3X/a/d/adc3154a3220a87b3ea645e81c25f4f6b9f8793b.png) ---

I’ve got about 13% less than estimated payout my nodes showed at the last day of September… 🤨 P.S. Nodes already used new payout rates for calculations. ---

Because we went without Bloom Filters for almost a month, all our local nodes probably _thought_ they should be paid… for data they just hadn’t been told to trash (yet). So I’m kinda expecting the real what-customers-actually-paid-for numbers from the Satellites to be lower. ---

Hey, I just switched my payments to Bitpanda. They require some info from the crypto sender. What’s your wallet host?
