Why two transactions per node per month?

You are getting one payout per satellite per month. So if you have 2 nodes, the total of the 2 nodes’ payouts for a satellite will be sent in a single transaction. Example:

  1. you run 1 node and it is active on all 4 satellites -> you will get 4 payout transactions.
  2. you run 2 nodes and they are both active on all 4 satellites -> you will get 4 payout transactions
  3. you run 4 nodes and one is active on all 4 satellites, another on 3 and the other 2 for some reason are disqualified on 2 satellites already -> you still will get 4 payouts for that month.

Regarding the “source” address, I invite you to actually look at each transactions in detail (click on the TXID at the left hand column in the overview in your screenshot) and look at the line right below the Timestamp, with label “From:”. this will be different for each satellite. Our payout script uses smart contracts that let you identify the satellite the payout is for by the sending party of the transaction shown on this line. Further down you will see a line labeled “Tokens Transferred:” This shows that the STORJ tokens for each TX are taken from the same address for all satellites (what you called “source” address) to be sent to the payout address of each SNO.
