Storj dev here. I can second these concerns. Saying Opal "partnered" with us when they were just planning on using our MetaDisk APIs 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 node) is only accessible to our crowdsale supporters, whitelisted by SJCX address.
I don't like to sling shit, 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...
Sorry, I tried to make that clear in the white paper, we are not using the driveshare network, but rather the metadisk network. I would say the partnership (which was over-eager journalism) was much more false than saying we are using storj, because metadisk is a storj project.
