Genuine question. How is this project not a complete rip off of Storj?
Hi and I appreciate the question.
Storj rents space on other computers to store the actual file and stores the hash of the file on the blockchain. Gasfiles doesn't store the actual file anywhere. Which A) makes it more secure and B) allows us to offer unlimited storage because we first convert the file into hex and the hash of the hex is what you will see on the blockchain. When a user wants to retrieve their file from blockchain storage they simply convert the file back and store it on a local drive or phone etc. That us a simple version but I hope it answers your question. Thanks
