Update Proposal for Storage Node Operators

The Tokens flow report is not a revenue report, more like the reverse - it’s how much reserves were spent.

When you as a customer pay for the service, you will pay $4/TB/mo of storage and $7/TB egress.
So, if you will only store 1TB for the entire month, you will pay $4, but Storj paying to SNO $1.5 * 80 / 29 = $4.14
If you also downloaded this 1TB, you will pay $7, but Storj paying $20 to SNO.
$4.14 / $4 * 100% = 103.44%
$20 / $7 * 100% = 285.71%

For stored and downloaded 1TB
($1.5 * 80 / 29 + $20) / ($4 + $7) * 100% = 219.44%

So, Storj paying to SNO from 103.44% to 285.71% of Storj’s income. It’s not 5% of revenue anyhow.
And this is without repair costs (Storj paying to SNO $10/TB of egress repair, if the repair job got triggered).
