A startup called Storj has come out with the idea of a decentralized cloud Bitcoin storage. It will, however, take them some time to fully implement the concept. - Read full article HERE |

Decentralization?  I can't wait to upload my backups to storj so that I can delete them. We should wait until renting of some GBs is possible imho. I hope it'll be affordable to buy even some TBs. Storj is not just "decentralized cloud" space, there is/ will be whole platform with API for anyone to use in their own projects.. |

I believe datacoin was the first project that was aiming for storing your files in the blockchain to allow decentral cloud storage. (correct me if I'm wrong)
The only problem were the guys behind datacoin. They never managed to get it to the next level.
Storj looks very professional and looks way better. I'll be watching this closely.

I was looking at this just a couple of weeks ago. Looks neat if they can get it up and running. (I think FileCoin was another try at doing this. Was never sure what happened with them except I think they never got much farther than the white paper.) |

You're not wrong, though technically Bitcoin and Namecoin could also be used to store data in the blockchain if you knew how to. Not sure if they can accommodate actual files though. But yeah, I was thinking Datacoin too. It was an innovative coin and yet it died. The dev disappeared and there were also issues with the blockchain becoming too bloated. I think it was supposed to grow by about 500GB a year. It would be interesting to see what these new guys will do differently. |

This doesn't really belong in this section as they are going to use Florincoin.
Although this is something interesting and new. I hate having my files on centralized cloud services anyways.

Storj is not a dropbox competitor, however dropbox can use storj for storage. |

Storj is decentralized. On top of that, Storj allows for the creation of applications on top of the network. |

Guys nice to have a new topic setup but yes I don't think it belongs here. We have official threads setup on here at the links below, and our official forum at https://storjtalk.org. We invite you to join the discussion there. Merry Xmas to Everyone from the STORJ TEAM  |

FAIL because : Get paid for renting out your extra hard drive space
Decentralized storage will be free.
Only.

Both the Storj and Maidsafe projects show promise, and its nice to see them using two different solutions. Willing to wait and watch to see which is the better one.
Maidsafe seem to be ahead in the development stage, Storj needs to hasten up unless it wants to concede the first mover advantage.

Decentralised, so no one person (CEO of dropbox) can take your information. |

Decentrilized when one person has the rule of the 91% of Storj coins? I dont think so.
Imo Storj is a p2p dropbox and nothing more. Is not even part of the digital coins revolution. Their coin is the same with everything else fiat money in this world.
