I have been operating a node since april 2024. I understand there are withheld amounts etc. and so for a while nothing would have been paid out. However each month I see some small amount that should have gone out (I think). July for example about 11$ out of 22.
I am also confused about zksync. When I started the node, I configured it to use zksync. Following the documentation I setup a zksync address with https://lite.zksync.io/ where I connected my metamask ethereum wallet, and entered this zksync address in the storj node config. The node frontend shows that zksync is enabled.
Now I see in the forums that there is also zksync-era. Which should be used ? is zksync deprecated and that is why I received no transactions on zksync ?
Also, I tried connecting my metamask wallet to zksync-era following this guide https://www.coingecko.com/learn/add-zksync-era-metamask
and now I am a bit confused, the storj docs mention to use the zksync lite block explorer. Is there not a separate zksync-era block explorer ?
Do I need a balance on zksync in order to receive payment ?
The receiving wallet address is the same as my ETH address ? Am I doing something wrong here… ?
So now that we’re in August… if you hadn’t switched to “zksync-era” by the end of July the system will try to pay your L1 address: and L1 has higher minimum-payout amounts. You may unfortunately be in a position where your first-3-months-75%-holdback combines with that high L1 minimum… and you still don’t have enough banked to receive a payout in August either.
If so, that would suck, but it does get better. Your payouts increase as your node grows, and the holdback percentages drop: so you soon start reliably receiving coins at the start of each month. Hang in there!
I think zksync is a useless network, and all SNOs should get payments sent to a L1 exchange address… so they can sell their tokens to fiat five minutes after receiving them. But I’m not your mom
I want to turn spare space (and a bit of power+internet) into gas in my tank and groceries in my cart. Any fees I save with a zksync-era payout I immediately lose with horrible-spreads/poor-liquidity swapping back to a stablecoin I can withdraw-to-fiat… or I just have to pay a L1 fee myself to bridge the coins somewhere useful (like an exchange) to get cash out.
If you want Storj payouts to help with your living expenses… zksync-era costs you more.
why would I want to add storj token ? I just want to either keep the STORJ in my wallet or eventually exchange/sell it for ETH or some currency.
Do I need to first buy some STORJ tokens in order to receive any ?
In this case “add Storj token to your wallet” means making your wallet able to hold and display your Storj tokens. Not independently purchasing Storj tokens and depositing them in your wallet.
Some wallets have Storj token wallet services available by default.
Some wallets you must manually select that you want Storj token wallet services to be available in your wallet.
If you follow the links Alexey gave you, they will explain the process.
ok so I see a few differences. I use the metamask extension, and contrary to the documentation here there is no import token on the token tab. However, going to the metamask website, then portfolio and connecting the wallet, there is a way to import tokens ((More…->Import token)
And BTW, searching for storj gives 4 different tokens, fortunately only one token when searching for the contract (as expected).
However, I can’t add the token to my wallet as there is no account balances. Because I have never been paid by storjs
Ok so I guess I will try next month to add the storj token to my wallet, maybe there will be a positive balance
. But from what I understand only Era is now supported (“
