Our team is thrilled to announce that Storj has been awarded as one of Black Duck’s Open Source Rookies of the Year!

We launched our beta test on December 20 of last year and expect to start scaling up during 2015.
There is a lot of attention towards our project, and we mean to live up to the expectations of our fans and supporters.
Secure, private, and decentralized cloud storage will be a hot topic in 2015, and we want Storj to be at the center of it.

We’d like to thank the community for their enthusiastic support, as well as the dedicated group of volunteers who help maintain the project.
We dedicate our Black Duck Open Source Rookies of the Year Award to each one of you.

Each year, Black Duck names ten new open source projects as their Rookies of the Year.
Previous awards include Ansible, Docker, Bootstrap, Tox, and many other great Open Source projects.
We’re honored to be acknowledged alongside such great ideas as well as the other rookies this year.

Our Lead Designer Tome has been working on some new Storj Stickers and they are now complete.
Find attached a zip file that contains them all as high res .jpg files (CMYK - 300dpi).
They are ready to fit the Moo.com rectangular sticker template.
We will also print a few and add them to the StorjTalk Shop!

Download the templates from here: StorjStickersTemplates.zip

The attached templates work perfectly on Moo.com, they should work on a local site of your choice too.

We are currently testing the next DriveShare release with 100GB file transfers.
A bit more testing is needed to make sure it is stable and our infrastructure can support it.

This is what the interface will look like.

Should Test Group A stop running their clients until the new version is out?  

At this point...  the client doesn't run for too long before crashing...  although it does fire up again without any problems.  

Meaning...  are we witnessing a transition in the network because of you simultaneously running the new version?...  are we still helping you retrieve data considering the numerous crashes or are we causing the network a problem by repeatedly dropping contracts?


thnx  


Edit:  Hmmm...  it stopped crashing approximately one hour after I posted the above.

We have collected the data we need as of v.0.1.5 but if people keeps testing we could collect even more.
The team is working on progressing to the next stage for Group A with added functionality, and looking forward to release an enhanced version of downstream-farmer.

You are still welcome to test but for the moment only v.0.1.5 will work with the current beta: https://github.com/Storj/downstream-farmer/releases/tag/v0.1.5.

Higher releases are for internal testing for the time being, until we are are able to scale up to the rest of Group A testers.
Our devs are working on making that happen as soon as possible.
