Another feature users might like is to be able to set the Hosting Price in line with the competitive average.
I see the 'Estimated competitive price' continuously fluctuating (I assume based on the network available storage and user rates), it would be good to set a +/- variance against this open market rate, so if Im new and want to pick up contracts quickly I can set 'recommended market -5%', or if Im established set 'recommended market', or if perhaps I want to shrink my storage (without dumping all my contracts) set 'recommended market +5%'.  I suppose in the early days like we are now, you need an absolute minimum, or everyone sets a percentage and the bottom falls out, perhaps the minimum hosting price should still remain.

This also saves me missing out on lucrative contracts if market conditions means space becomes short (Im not undercharging), and ensures I can pick up contracts if there is spare capacity (Im not overcharging).
