This phase of the project is basically a closed beta, because just having 10k SJCX is not enough, you need to have been a crowdsale participant as well. So it basically is an invite-only closed beta. In later stages, anyone will be able to participate, so there is going to be the open beta stage too. Hopefully the devs will anounce a more precise timeline soon.
Anyway, this is one of the most exciting developements in the crypto world, and it is refreshing to see a real, need-fulfilling project alongside all those useless coins (that have a larger market cap then storj, btw, but that's another story and oddity of this world)
