With Storjcoin taking off like it has been, I feel once OPAL catches on, I expect OPAL and Storjcoin market cap to be somewhere around a 1:1 ratio.
If you do the math, right now, OPAL's current market cap is around 7% of Storjcoin's market cap. So this means, either OPAL's market cap will increase about 14x, or Storjcoin's market cap will fall to reach around a 1:1 ratio with OPAL.

Both Storj and OPAL teams need to hurry and deliver a de-centralized cloud drive though.
Because without it, at this point, we're all just speculating...

If i understood the announcement that they made.  Opal will be using storj as its backend using the API's storj has available to make opals decentralized cloud work.

encryption ->api -> opacity -> decryption

All of these "intro" videos on youtube that are nothing more than music and some moving graphics aren't helping much.

We need to educate the public, and for that, we need videos that show how to use the app, the benefits of using it vs regular chat systems.

We're at the point where we need a growing user base, and without video tutorials, we're going to be stuck in the shadows.

For instance, this video:

It looks cool, but has no substance really. We need to demonstrate how the app works, and why they should get it.

Agreed! OPAL needs some tutorial videos so the average joe can pick it up and run with it.

If I listen carefully, I can almost hear the voice behind the music.

LOL. I had no idea that this is an Android wallet with chat built in.  Watching the video, I thought it was just a chat app.

We need to address the fact you can send/receive coins AND chat at the same time.  Regular chat apps don't do that.. This is a novelty and we need to capitalize that it is:

1) A cryptocurrency wallet for Opal

2) A "secure" chat app (and explain how it's secure vs regular chat apps)

Give some examples of who might want to use this for "legitimate" reasons in the video. Show it solving a problem.

Ie: Without the opal wallet, you would have to do that...  (show insecure chat, show someone sending a moneygram or mailing a check)

     But with the opal wallet, NOW you can do this, and it's easier, faster, and more secure..

The opal wallet should also have an information page on it, you click the link that says "Get Opal Coins"..  Then it just has a text screen that talks about:

a) A faucet

b) An exchange

c) Links to the opal website, maybe a talk forum, etc.

I could see someone downloading the wallet, and then scratching their head on how to get coins into it.

[Kartaba]

Opal is disabled in bittrex? why?

[Arux]

poloniex too 

[BLACKCOIN883]

Both work fine now.

[toldy]

They shouldn't freeze coins on an exchange without providing a reason. That's terrible.

[BLACKCOIN883]

Well they monitor things and sometimes maintenance is needed, but I agree it's annoying.
