The main question remains - whether "decentralization" is really something that people value. I would not be suprised if people stay at Dropbox/Google. This is something I started to notice a while ago - people involved in crypto tend to overestimate decentralization. And crowd.. just does not care. So if there is no demand for decentralized storage - storjcoin price will go down. If there is demand - it will go up. Doesn't really matter what early adopters would do.

Only time will tell and I am still holding on to my SJCX.

Once everything is implemented,then we can see the demand for a cheaper more secure cloud service... And who doesn't wanna make money in the process for renting out unused #Storj space.... Cool

There are no limits - you can buy as much storage as you'd like if you are willing to pay for it, and you are able to host as many storage contracts as you have space for. Your own resources are your only limitation.

There are many porn sites need a huge space, SJCX can help those porn websites to get cheaper and larger space. Cheesy

Not only porn sites. There are so many businesses that needs cloud storage from accounting, CPA etc. They're always looking for more storage.

Answer to that would be. Offer more storage than competitors offcourse.  Grin

Can I use external storage disk via usb port to farm? What is the difference and disadvantages?
If you are talking about the transfer speed of the data via USB2 you shouldn't have a problem unless you have a very high speed internet connection.
Usually data transfers are as fast as our home internet bandwidht, thus you may use also a laptop disk to farm.
But you should leave your system on day and night, if you close your computer every night you will loose the contract of the stored data in your disk, thus no storj for you Smiley

My internet connection is good enough but I don't have much disk space, this is why I want to use external hard drive.

May there is the possiblility that in the further development a drivespacehoster is able to offer his space only at a current timeframe of a day? That meens during a fixed frame there will be no heartneat check and he does not loose his contracts. So his PC dont have to be running all night long. Probably the customer dont need access to his data all night long?

I think that data and especially corporate data, but not just, has to be reachable 24/7

People might not know that decentralization is what they need, but ever since the Snowden files, people started to realise that it might not be a good idea to hand over all your data to a single company and hope for the best. Most of the people I know now say  that there is no way they are going to upload anything sensitive/personal to Dropbox without encrypting it first. As far as I know, Dropbox/Google/Amazon/Apple clouds, they all have great uptime, but when it comes to security - just see the recent hacks. Dropbox also checks the md5-s of all files users upload against a database of known "copyright infringement" cases, and if your file is on the list, they might just delete it. And if you're the lucky one with an md5 collision Smiley , you can argue against the deletion, I guess.

Awesome, thanks for the response!  I am really getting excited about this!!

I don't believe the majority of the public is currently aware of the need for decentralization or privacy, but when they find out that it's faster and cheaper than the competitors they'll jump on without thinking twice - i.e. they'll do what's in their best interest without even being aware of it.

Yes, that's true, most general public (users) won't think too about decentralization and privacy.  But security and costs are the 2 factors that are going to drive people to start using storj(Metadisk).

Yes, price was driving the choice until the iCloud hacks after that cloud security entered in the mainstream.
