Thanks !

Isn't 2GB too little for 1 bitcoin per month? Dropbox free has 2GB space too ... Maybe considering increasing the storage a bit? ;D

Have to start somewhere and people are looking for ways to use bitcoins that arent an exchange ;)
We also respect your privacy and do not claim anything on our server (in your folder) is ours, unlike the free competition ;)
Really it's $5 paid in btc equivalent, but with the low BTC atm early adoptors get a bonus ;)

We have increased the storage to 4 GB at the same price (1 BTC), as we have increased the storage, now only 12 of them are available.

is there a trial site? e.g., 15 minute session

or perhaps a per-day subscription option just to see how it works?

good idea koin
I will speak to SpeedBus when he comes online and see what we can setup

Thanks
Graeme

Hey koin,
We can work out a trial and a per-day subscription.

Join us on IRC and we'll give you the trial and we can work out the per-day subscription cost.

would you describe some scenarios where this service might be useful?

HTTPS ?

SFTP ?

Encryption of the uploaded data ?

Ideally I would like to see data encryption where only the user can decrypt, not your service, which protects the ISP's, datacenters, you, your service, and the end users. You can't cough up what you dont have access to, etc.

Well, CrownCloud has many uses :

1. Backup your media (Songs, Videos) etc

2. Backup your data (Well, you could encrypt them and upload)

3. Use as a backup for your websites, store your website's backups on CrownCloud, By backing up your sites on our service you can easily change providers if the provider goes down or you want to move your files from one host to another.

4. Store your photos to share with others.

5. Store documents as they can be viewed and edited directly from the online desktop (Only MS Office 2003 and older format)

Well, You could encrypt files and then upload them, that way you are the only one who has access to the file ?

You could use these 2 free tools to use encrypt the files :

You could use 7-ZIP to encrypt the files :

Encrypting on 7-Zip :

or AxCrypt,
http://www.axantum.com/AxCrypt/Default.html

I already use TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/), but I am thinking more about potential customers who are much less technology savy, so the process is more automated and seamless (not requiring 3rd party tools).

Hmm.. We'll have to look into a solution like that, but again its truly up to the client if he wishes to encrypt and then upload or just upload the file depending on the value of the file to the client.

It's fast becoming the standard with cloud storage and is usually automated in a ftp client married with open PGP/GPG, but ya for barebones services its probably overkill... until a problem ocurrs. My thinking is the problems it actually can prevent or even solve. Like DCMA or State/Gov con concerns, or those pesky NSA letters you cant divulge the existance of under penalty of prison and fines, hacking, theft, and even nosy or criminal data center employees ... not to mention plausuble deniability and no one can open the file but the uploader.

We will look into integrating it with the service, It will take time though.
