Subject: Client Feedback on 1ct TFT Price Floor & Farmer Utilization Rewards

Key Client Feedback:

  • Farmers are not being adequately compensated for utilization rewards due to the 1ct TFT price floor.

  • Despite high utilization, the client reports operating nodes at a financial loss.

  • The client currently has ~560 vCPUs rented, with most workloads consuming CPU only (minimal RAM/SSD).

  • The current system allows CPU-intensive / PoW workloads to run on nodes already operating at a loss.

  • The 1ct purchasing-power mechanism places an estimated ~60% additional financial burden on farmers.

  • This results in:

    • ~60% lower TFT income for farmers.
    • Reduced TFT demand, contributing to lower token price.

  • Bulk-purchasing users face no downside risk due to the 1ct price floor:

    • TFT value is protected if price drops below 1ct.
    • Users still benefit from ~50% bulk discounts.
    • Full upside remains if TFT price increases.

  • The client believes this mechanism shifts risk from users to farmers, which they consider unfair.

  • The approach is seen as favoring one stakeholder group (users) while negatively impacting farmers and overall ecosystem growth.

  • Due to the scale of operations and sustained losses, the client states this model is not financially sustainable.

  • Their decision to continue running nodes depends on how these concerns are addressed.
