Storj dev here. No need to curse at us, please. You don't have to buy anything. Both the node software ( https://github.com/storj/downstream-node) and farming software ( https://github.com/storj/downstream-farmer) have always been available for download and usage. The funds are to help support the project, developers on the project, etc. Our testing rounds are closed tests that help us test the software with committed users under controlled conditions so we can collect data to grow and improve the network. These are also tests actively supported by the entire team. I think I owe you an apology - i was somewhat wrongly assuming there is some sort of secret node code and operable testnet, and not just proof of concept server/client (which indeed do build and verify storage contracts, however dont comprise p2p network as such). I understand that the whole idea is to just store file location on datacoin (or florincoin, or whatever you switch to tomorrow) chain and let metadisk ui look it up from there. And that's the proverbial elephant in the room - all repositories are proof of concept code of everything, except the critical part of consensus building about farming , bandwidth or any of the other major criticism outlined above - hence the wrong assumption you're keeping some code hostage. Thanks for that, I appreciate it. We try to make every effort to be open and transparent and welcome level-headed criticism as it only improves the project (and already has). We don't use Datacoin anymore and Florincoin is the current "drop-in" replacement, though yes we're looking to move that to Factom when they're ready. The blockchain will be used to store file metadata and information used by verification algos in the heartbeat library. I've said this in a few other places, but at the end of the day most folks will only be won over when it's out there working in-the-wild and has been poked, prodded etc and that's a totally reasonable position to take given all the projects out there making promises. After one or more of our testing rounds (used to gather actual network data), I will be building a network simulator so we can do some agent-based modeling/monte carlo sims and test network stability to attacks, economic incentivization, etc. We're trying to grow something that will have emergent behavior so understanding its phase spaces (i.e. different potential scenarios) and potentials will help a lot as we grow and help build the network (if anything I said sounds like technobabble would be happy to elaborate). I also want to layer in things like quorum sensing over time, but we have to walk (and have folks see/verify we can actually walk) before we start jogging/running.

Indeed. I'd love to see your sugarscape model to tackle this (yes, emergent swarms is the correct answer, think bittorrent tit-for-tat on steroids), instead of the fairly obvious contracts fluff you published today with great fanfare. After all, it's what peter, mike et al were preaching about 2 years by now and theres not much new to be said about it.

Not really I was getting 2k to 2.5k solo mining until someone hacked my burst id, and stole all my burst coins. So I decided these past 2 weeks to move over to pool mining with my 6tb and make a whole new account with a huge password this time, and Im getting about the same 500 to 700 burst a day. Im thinking about switching back to solo mining. I was doing better. there.
what miner you use for solo mining? can urayminer ( https://github.com/uraymeiviar/burst-miner) use solo mining?

Why don't you try to introduce jl777 with its superNET to Burst?

Quick noteBurst Asset Payer is the software I've developed to automatically pay BLTPS dividends to our investors. I've done plenty of tests to make sure it works as intended and one of these tests include 5 Bursts per BLTPS share payed, directly from my personal funds, as a small tip of appreciation to those who believed and invested in the project. The software provides a full report of the payment, it can be seen in the official BLTPS thread on BurstForum. ( Post #46) Remember the first, true, BLTPS payout is scheduled for 18/dec/2014. If you want to invest, there's always plenty of shares waiting to be sold Update v1.2.1 - Burst Asset Payer Burst Long Term Price Support project(BLTPS) Changelogv1.2.1 - 07/dec/2014The development of "Burst Asset Payer" has been concluded. The software will be used to pay dividends to BLTPS investors (can actually be used to pay any Burst asset) Added "How are you making profit out of BLTPS Project?" question to F.A.Q. Investment StatusShare value: 0.01 BTC - Sold Shares: 412 - Next goal: 650 405 250Booked Shares (waiting for payment): 60 Hashrate supporting Burst: 647 MH/s (LTC)
