So, when can I start selling my terabytes of space? I'm about to go and buy 49 hard drives which will connect to my 49 port USB hub.

Do I get paid in bitcoin? Can I be anonymous?

We are building out the front end app first, and we are almost ready to release it. You can have all the space you want, but if no one is buying it you won't earn a penny.
If you run a full web node yes you can get paid in Bitcoin, and be somewhat anonymous. Don't want to give a specific date for the selling portion. We don't make two week(tm) promises.

Get some good data on my proof of storage algorithm this month. After that we will doing limited testing with early supporters till we get it right.

Getting it right is key to get the starter momentum and a project like this will only flourish with A LOT of attention at the very start, so the first-time experience for buyers and sellers is vital to Storj's success. Great to hear you're putting some effort into making sure things are running smoothly instead of just throwing proof-of-concept alpha software out there.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'd like to think that I've been in this space long enough that I can learn from other's mistakes, and get Storj right the first time.

So will you be able to share files with other people?
If so, would it be like Mega, where I can upload my files, then generate a link anyone can use to access them...
or will the person receiving the share also have to be Storj users?

So yes, the web software will function like that. Drag-drop-done. No need to install special software, or have your friend download Storj. We make it simple to use from Day 1, and then build features and clients from there.
