quick question, since i dont understand this well.

The nodes are people that are going to give space of the hard drive, so the net puts the file encrypted in them, right?
how much does someone gets pay?
Imagine i have a 4 TB HDD, i want to know where i can see the , earnings of putting that in storj, by month

Sorry if it is a noob question.

edit: i found this http://driveshare.org/ but it says i will earn, like for 1TB, some services gives me 60 dolares each month? o.O is that real what im reading???

The calculator is showing major services pricing. As simply offering space does not guarantee utilization you will be paid for the space you have that is utilized. Until the network is live it will be very challenging to give accurate predictions

yes and then it will take some time for paying user adoption.

i look at StorJ as a 2020 thing. it is going to take some time for buyers to trust the new technology.

Maybe not a 2020 timeframe since all the hacks and leaks reported in mainstream... Most users won't even know their application is storing data/files on Storj. For ex, some auto backup program. A regular user would be a layer from Storj with all the benefits etc...
