[ANN] Storj - Decentralized Storage

[AngryWhiteWolf]

Think this new partnership is a fantastic step forward for storj. Keep getting more shards every day and if it'll keep going like this I will re-enable the second server - have some spare storage there too.
Interesting times coming!

I have been looking forward to hearing more about this project
great job guys Use new cryptocurrency to bootstrap. This is pretty much a Bitcoin standard with only a few additional data in transactions, like Datacoin. We can store basic metadata about where files and status are.

Storj a software project seeks to develop a cloud storage solution next generation to improve the provider cloud storage is available in the four main areas of service are provided. With the advantage less expensive for the same redundancy criteria, uptime, and reliability. I think this is a project that all investors are looking for.

Distributed cloud storage is the trend of development, the current price of the Storj is relatively low, suitable for medium and long-term investors to buy a part of the position on a bargain.

I think we should remember that Cryptopia is a very low volume exchange. As well that many traders do not care to participate in the airdrop. So when considering the points above I really look forward to see a higher volume exchange list this token.

[AngryWhiteWolf]

Wouldn't be a good idea for storj to have it's own wallet? This way won't depend on sometimes slow ETH network. Think token is mature and useful enough, other coins have done that already.
Apart from more work from the dev team are there other cons against this idea?

That's excellent news and those are a considerable number of partners.

I hope more partners join this entrepreneurship effort in the near future...

There are a lot of serious shortcomings of regular cloud storages, such as insecurity of information, lack of confidentiality guarantees and much more. Storj promises to try to solve these problems. In order to create cloud capable of storing enormous amount of information, any user will be able to devote their own unused drive space and bandwith in exchange for tokens. The project already has a working product. Behind the development is a large development team. I think that they may succeed in the future.

[Forcovaljudg]

The devs say that platform is progressing nicely. But they wan't to make sure to be a good product, without bugs, so give them a little more time. It should be out soon. I think the plan is progressing nicely.

I have stored some STORJ on my counterparty wallet for a long time. Today I tried to login on https://app.storj.io/login and it says my user account is not activated. Is it required to have a account there and are there any disadvantages if I continue to hold my tokens on counterparty wallet?

you had to swap your storjx coins with storj tokens during this year.
i dunno if there is a way to swap now or your coins are lost forever....

Excellent and I think in the future a promising idea for the implementation of the blockchain idea. This project will solve the problem of saving any type of data. Any user will be able to earn Story coins for providing their disk space for rent. This is a very good idea for a modern project.

Why do you just know now? It's been a long time since storj moved to ethereum smart contract base, just try to contact the team who knows it can still be claimed.

How do we know we can trust your accounting and reporting on costs and output? Who will independently control and oversee your project’s accounting and operations?

Payment for August was significantly smaller compared with previous months? Or is just in my case?
Is it possible to see data for the current month? Something like https://payout.storj.io/ - but with 'live' data.
On the same site is it possible to show earnings for all months instead of user selecting and clicking on all of them one by one?
Thank you

[farsky]

I use 3Tb drive 24/7.
the disk filling is very small, at the moment it is zero (157 KB).
Why ?
Who receives huge payments? Developers pay themselves and sell on the exchange?
Wonderful tactics!

Not at the moment, the current network is not being developed any further. Once version 3 is released to the public more features will be added and it will be easier to track payouts.

There's no tactics, the current network is not going to grow in storage used as development is focused on the new version 3 as the Storj team mentioned in the video I shared a few posts above.
So you won't get much rewards until the new version is released to the public. It's currently being tested by the new open source partners so hopefully it won't be too long until we can all get our hands on it.
