So the absolute bottom price for a chunk is 30. But 30… what? What is the unit of that 30?
Or are the equation and the graphs just sketches, not final numbers?
Based on WP and information on the forum I would make the following calculation:
Chunk is 0.5MB and it cannot cost less than 30 whole tokens. MAID’s will convert to those tokens 1:1, so at current prices of USD/MAID storing of 0.5MB would cost about 15 USD. On the other hand, on testnets the units we talk about are nanos, maybe it’s 30 nanos? But the formula, or the graph don’t indicate any units. So what are they?
And actually, what’s the reasoning of having exactly 30 whatevers as the bottom price? Why not 20, 40 or 0?
I don’t see any need in having bottom price. I think the first chunk on the network could very well be free, because it anyway is, when the data persists from late beta to launch.
Or if this graph is just a sketch, no worries.
(I think we need a separate thread for data pricing, but it’s getting late here, got to go to sleep.)
