When does Tardigrade calculate the amount of storj to be sent?

[jeremyfritzen]

Hi!

I am curious.
Since cryptocurrencies are very volatile, the amount of Storj coins each storage node receives depends a lot on coins price.
So I am curious.
When does Tardigrade make the conversion US Dollar / Storj?
Is it exactly when the storj coins are sent to the storage node?
Or is it at the first day of the next month (even if the money would be sent few days later)?
Or is it at another time?

Thanks guys!

I am turning off my nodes permanently

The exchange rate is queried and updated every 5 seconds during payout sending. So any node will get the USD amount they earned converted to STORJ using the most recent available exchange rate. This will assure that people that got their payouts earlier and were able to cash out immediately would end up getting the same approximate amount in terms of USD as someone who didn’t get their payout until hours later.

At the time of sending.
