Thanks so much for all you've contributed to this discussion!  I appreciate your being in contact with the project -- much more that I am, really.  The online documentation for the project has come along nicely, but of course it still doesn't address a lot of questions.

One I'd really like to know about for sure.. is whether at this stage of development, one has to deposit the 10k of SJCX to get any payouts for running DriveShare.  I rather understood that the 10k deposit requirement was for doing earlier beta testing, but that it's not the case now for those that might download and start running the new GUI I referenced at the outset.

I did put a few coins in my SJCX wallet on Counterparty, and my GUI on both platforms does reference and show my balance in the wallet.  But I have nowhere near 10k coins there, and am a bit reluctant to load up that wallet now, if I don't have to.  But I would like to get paid -- whatever the small payout might be, and however infrequently payouts are made -- so I would probably go ahead now and deposit the 10K, if that's still required.

Maybe you can make inquiry about this for me and others that are interested?  Thanks, again.
