Limited Beta
Storj is offering a very limited beta. We want to get some good feedback as we develop this application. There are currently 16 slots available. If you reply to this topic early(just say you want in on the beta), I can just add you to this list. As we run out of spots, I'll reserve spots for people who provide interesting use cases, or want who want to help out.

If you miss this beta signup, just make sure to be signed up for our email list on Storj.io. Once Metadisk is a bit more polished we will be releasing it to everyone on our email list.

Hi, I would love to participate in this beta.
I am working in an advertisement agency with heavy dependency on file sharing with customers and workgroup. We are actually developing an even more decentralized agency model and which depends on file sharing even more.
thanks

I have been much of a lurker up until now but I would like to participate in this project if there is an open slot available.

question about the project

then transfers the encrypted file to three (3) separate locations. This 3-time storage complies with the cloud storage redundancy standard.

Can I share my files only to trusted nodes (for example my 3 data center - different IPs)?

What happens when this three nodes lose connection?

What happens when this three nodes lose connection?

If the 3 nodes that hold a specific fragment you want to download go offline at the same time, you won't be able to access that fragment until one of them come back online. It's a scenario that's unlikely to happen, but Murphy's Law shouldn't be ignored either.

I personally don't think 3x redundancy will be enough with the current reward system. The retrieval speed of files and file availability will become an issue at times. Essentially, downloading your files from 3 nodes, is similar to you downloading a file via BitTorrent with 3 seeds. More often than not, if those 3 seeds are just at random locations throughout the world, chances are your speed will suck.

Now, if Metadisk/Storj early on implements a scheme to reward not only available storage space, but also stability and speed, then I can see 3x redundancy working wonderfully. A project like Storj will depend an awful lot on the stability of its network, and since it's decentralized, also on how many people are using it AND using it while having a good experience doing so.

Incentivizing stability and speed is key. Otherwise you risk ending up with humongous amounts of unreliable and slow storage space.

We have some ETA for the beta?

[BitCsByBit]

I'm very excited about this...I would love to participate in the beta.

[Operatr]

Beta or not, I will definitely be deploying some nodes for this when the public release is ready

Close out batch #1 of the beta list, and opened up batch #2. Team is recovering from the Amsterdam conference, so I hope to be giving out some access codes to the batch #1 group late next week. I will contact batch #1 via PM, and we can go from there.

As for everyone else feel free to ask questions, and apply for batch #2.

Already had a reply on here for batch #1, but trying again for visibility for batch #2.

Really interested in trying to stress a system like Storj / Metadisk!
