[ANN] Storj - Decentralized Storage

[coin@coin]

It was advertised and promoted literary as "you have free space on your laptop's harddrive, why don't you sell it and make profit!" You can watch some of the videos of Shawn Wilkinson. This is exactly what he promotes. Now it turns out, that to compete with the storage providers, you have to either come up with a miraculous algorithm which negates all latencies combined: from network lag, time difference, dropped packets, disk performance. Or hire some retired admin with old storage servers in his basement (from the above mentioned storage providers) fill them up with drives and waste a few kW of electricity for pennies.

At the same time these enterprise storage providers have gone all NVME Flash.

Storj team have to very carefully reconsider their path, becase there is zero chance to compete with enterprise storage, using someone's kitchen laptop.

I think that the only chance they have is to be a cheap alternative to Tape backup storage. Where you hold the data for a long time, but rarely upload-download it. That might work.

Another path is to convince people that decentralized storage is much safer and more secure than traditional, but that is counterintuitive and will not be easy. And then bet on security.


good luck

There will be different storage levels, and different storage contracts that node operators can participate with, but yes your node will have to be online 24/7 to have a good reputation and be able to participate.

I think the team has got their acts together and remember Storj is an object store more similar to Amazon S3 than dropbox or google drive. Third parties can then build their own versions of dropbox on top of Storj.

To note the best seller of Storj is that the data can only be accessed by the users that upload it so that in itself is very attractive, I'm sure, to a lot of people.

next shit scam coin.......  
v1 was
v2 was
v3 will
v3 was

this pseudo-cloud is totally unsecure.Only idiot using it when exists better and cheaper clouds

Getting Started with the Storj V3 Test Network (storj-sdk)

The goal for Storj’s V3 network is to provide developers with an object storage solution that is more secure, economical and performant than existing cloud storage options. This is made possible through protocol features like concurrency, parallelism, client-side encryption, and erasure coding (Reed-Solomon). https://medium.com/@storjproject/getting-started-with-the-storj-v3-test-network-storj-sdk-5c153a9bfea0

Something is happening...

Something is happening...

Yes, price almost x3.
I think the price will now go down. It looks like a manipulation.

The development speed of STORJ project has been low, as the same as pace of SIA project.
It is likely the projects aim at cloud storage on blockchain have to face with challenges in the year of 2018 and 2019.
I wish all best things for STORJ this year.
No pain no gain, when hard period passed, bright future will come later, at all.

Having said that, do you have a clue why the price has been skyrocketing recently?

Storj (STORJ) Sees Over 60% Value Increase As Coinbase Listing Rumours Thicken

[Leenwar]

Now we understand the reasons for the recent price increase.
Although I already forgot about this project )

[danishcheese]

wondering why i didn't realize the potential of this project sooner , pretty simple to grasp . cant have files seized from a decentralized cloud so privacy freaks will utilize such a service . someone who has been with coinbase for quite a while has also joined their BOD over the last week so this bodes well for their listing prospects.. with a coinbase listing this coin will see a billion dollar marketcap within months & they will have a ton of quality support rushing in to suppport the network . 130mill coin count 1$ is more than a fair price while waiting for that news sheeet 2$ is fair if you think about what the strongest decentralized cloud network could be worth shortly .wish i had been buying for pennies back when

Hi

Does anyone know, how to start a node for Storj V3 ? I've joined the Waitlist months ago, but no response.

Thanks

[hamza987]

Looks very interesting. Technical details are fuzzy for me but is it that you run a node and it works likes POS or is it like POW? Also what I think would be better that we were rewarded in coins that you could redeem either for:

a. More storage space for uploading.



Yes you're right after many years.

[jtalk]

I was wondering what is pushing Storj prices this hard upwards. Last spike I just didn't notice considering pump because it was under long accumulation. But early this morning I did research and found out answer seeing last developer update. Once again it has become very active market with plenty of trading volume and this is good indicator.

Same here, same question. Will it be open to the public in the near future? Waiting for march development update.

Storj V3 will be doing an alpha test for almost a year. I have not even received an invitation to V3. Work is moving very slowly.
Perhaps the market is not ready yet, it does not need this product, the price will be down again.
