"By using Storj’s MetaDisk infrastructure...
users will be able to upload, transfer, and decrypt files all in the wallet via the Storj MetaDisk API."

Here's the whitepaper, you're welcome:

Since Storj is in alpha testing using only handpicked early investors...
And in what can be described as an early proof-of-concept stage...
So early Opan Drive users are basically part of Storj alpha testing?

Storj dev here. I can second these concerns. Saying Opal "partnered" with us when they were just planning on using our MetaDisk API was concerning, but we just attributed it to over-eager marketing.

However, this current announcement, if it implies that Opal Drive is currently using Storj, is just too far. The current MetaDisk test nodes we have are just that, tests, and are not suitable for production usage for a whole number of reasons. We've made lots of progress on the farming infrastructure side (as highlighted in live.driveshare.org) but the farming network is not hooked up to MetaDisk yet.

Our current managed tests (i.e. our test nodes) are only accessible to our crowdsale supporters, who are whitelisted by SJCX address.

I don't like to sling poop, but these kind of announcements risk tarnishing the respect of our own project, so you guys need to be crystal clear in exactly what you are doing...
