I think that’s what I mean. It doesn’t cost more to put data, it’s just that a small fraction of the Safecoin used to pay for the PUT aren’t recycled into the network but only redirected to another wallet.
If it’s 5%, it means the network recycles 5% less safecoin on each PUT request. I’m not sure about the economic effects of this but I doubt it’s very different then giving back money from a GET request.
EDIT:
In other words the network says to the dev: “Thank you for giving me new data, here’s your cut.”
