[ANN] Storj - Decentralized Storage

[x13]

I got another question: I have just seen here [1] that 90% of all SJCX assets are hold by these adress(es) 2_17VLRV4y7g15KNhCepYvgigHHvREzbEmRn_1FkQMTyqzD2BK5PsmWX13AeJAHz5NEw7gq_1HhfcdD 1hRaim17m5qLEwGgHY7PBTb1Dof_3

What's it all about?

Thanks for the great explanation!

I created a counterparty wallet on counterwallet.io some time ago. So, I can use the Bitcoin address of this counter wallet to receive my STORJ coins from the Poloniex exchange?  

I tried to get the Storj wallet run on my machine without success. So, I would like to create a paper wallet in order to get out my freshly bought Storj coins from exchange. Is there a paper wallet available? If not, is there another secure way to create public/private key pair?

Storj is a counterparty asset so https://counterwallet.io/ is the standard wallet to use. Here are some alternate choices:

• Install the Tokenly Pockets Chrome extension on your chrome browser. It is compatible with the same passphrase you usually use in the standard counterwallet.
  
  
• Indiesquare for mobile is available for android and iOS. You can download it from https://wallet.indiesquare.me/

If you want to use a paperwallet, you can make a regular bitcoin paper wallet, but you should first test with a very small amount of SJCX and make sure you know how to sweep it back into a counterwallet, because there is no other way to make the counterparty assets visible again. Regular bitcoin wallets will not be able to see counterparty assets. Alternately you could send it to cold storage in Armory and make a watch only address in counterwallet, but that is a somewhat complicated process not recommended for the faint of heart.

Yes you should use the bitcoin address from your counterwallet to withdraw your SJCX from Poloniex

There are 49,518,143 SJCX in circulation and 500 000 000 in total. Where are these coins? Burnt? Or still "mineable"? Hold by devs?

https://storj.io/faq.html

Currently Storj Labs is distributing some of the remaining funds as rewards to the farmers that participate in beta testing. See https://driveshare.org/rewards.html  The latest rewards have already been calculated and posted for review, they will be distributed in the coming days.

Yeah, but that´s not much compared with the ~450 000 000. It´s a little bit like Ripple, isn´t it?

I find this project interesting and with huge potential however i have few serious notifications, take it as an opinion (doubts) of "average random visitor" who listened about storj for the first time

1. The testing of the project is a little weird. Its almost closed for anybody except people who were just in at beginnings or bought in until current pump. Every testing should motivate to have the most participants but you do the right opposite.

2. Storj becomes known as "the coin with 10.000 coins barriere". Today its almost 1000USD   This is not the best impression.

3. There is no sign of any testing other way than testing only the one side - the side of storage providers. Hell yeah only motivated storage providers. I dont think the test phase contains enough variables to simulate at least most possible cases if not all of them. I dont think there is enough testing e. g. at customer side (load of server which is managing customers, database of deals, backup of these databases, customer support, tickets, complaints). Not the headers and cylinders of hard drives but the customers will decide this game.

4. The system where the exchange rate of currency will dictate the price of service itself cant work. Fixed coin cap cant serve variable number of customers. There will be only a lack of demand or lack of technical resources, i cant realize how you will ingraft the almost fixed price of competitive services onto variable exchange rate of currency and variable market estate. There are 3 different variables tried to be messed up into one price, this is cut-and-try economical engineering. If everyone will be speculating or gambling with the price there will be almost zero real users of service. If the price will be fair enough and there appear real users people will start to gamble with price which will become oppressive and nobody will really use the storjage.   And last example - if the price will be ridiculously low, there appears big demand but nobody will be willing to provide his space so instead of price increase we will see unsatisfied demand.

1. Previous Test Group B is now over, wait for Test Group C to start which will have new rules and requirements, specifically regarding SJCX.

2. Storj had over 1500 testers, they didn't need 1 million because the backend could not support that. They are happy with the test results so far. See above for what's next.

3. The other side was not ready for testing until recently, if you saw Storj announcement yesterday they are ready to go with full scale testing. Mind you MetaDisk (now simply called Storj) is mainly for developers to build apps using the API. If you register on storj.io you'll be able to get an invite on a first come, first served basis. And you will be able to test uploads as a end user at https://app.storj.io.

4. SJCX will be used mainly for the backend (to reward storage providers) once the network goes live. The team has stated that end-users that upload files (again once live) using Storj will have options to pay for storage with whatever mean is best, and there will be options to use FIAT and CC. Also consider that anyone will be able to build their own front-ends to Storj and they will be free to accept anything they want for payment. Checkout storj.io for an estimate of the cost to store data on Storj.

Hope this helps.

Guys, anyone advise how to move storjx coins from exchange to counter wallet? I can see only BTC and XCP balances there and one address. Just tried to move 2 storjx coins to counterwallet and nothing happened apart that exhange states processing was finished. Cannot see storjxcoin balance on my counterwallet.

Thanks

I like the project I will buy some clearly under evaluated at least when you see some useless coin with a bigger marketcap O_O

Wait 1 day. It usually takes about 4-8hrs, sometimes more.

If after several hours you still cannot see the unconfirmed TX on blockscan.com (use the TX number listed in your polo withdrawal record) you should make a ticket on poloniex.freshdesk.com and ask them to resend the TX.

omg 4-8 hours

[astap89]

ahaha TB 2600 to 1000 the users, go to the bottom, you'd better hurry to show information on the test, otherwise all flee

Numbers are going down because people are switching to the new version of DriveShare called StorjFarmer GUI and storjfarm (CLI) Test group B is closed now. Join the storj community slack https://storj-inviter.herokuapp.com/  #driveshare channel and check #announcements for more info please.

Many of companies need decentralized cloud starage. I'm working in IT industry so I know what I say. I'm beta tester and it works perfectly. After final release price skyrocket so it's good time to buy a lot.

Qihoo-360 and Rising are both Chinese antivirus that I've never heard of. Looks like a false positives to me.

Taking a look at some reviews for Rising:

Qihoo-360 was caught cheating in their antivirus tests:
