I also noticed that the Storj whitepaper is co-written by Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin. Personal contribution or is Ethereum involved with the project?
Vitalik was a technical contributor to the paper. He contributed on a personal level and not officially on behalf of Ethereum. That being said, when Ethereum goes live we'll certainly be interested in integrating Ethereum contracts.
Thank you, my dear biologically-inspired, mathematically-inclined dev
