In the past it was possible to perform transfers without actually paying for those transactions, but with the activation of Sponsored Fee Transactions that’s no longer possible.
A lot of the generating nodes, us included would use this capacity to pay their leasers. As stated before, this is no longer possible.
We are still committed to our policy to distribute 100% of the revenue, but the transfers fees need to be payed. So we will be changing our payment policy slightly.
Starting next Thursday a flat fee will be subtracted from every payment we make. We consider this method to be fair to everybody, as each leaser will pay for their own costs.
Other pools have implemented a policy where they distribute only 95% of revenue. This is not fair because some leasers will pay for other leasers costs. Please keep in mind that if you leased a very small amount maybe you won’t have enough to cover transfer costs…
