When is the crowdsale, any timeline regarding this project?
Our date is July 15th at this point.

Considering I have over 2 TB of space just on my normal hard drive, i'd love to use this. It looks really cool.
We have removed our whitepaper because we want to refine it a bit more. At least according to those numbers if you sold you hard drive at Dropbox prices you would make $2,000 a year off your 2 TB. You will be a very happy camper when we add proof of resource to Storj.

We aren't promising that quite yet as the computer science algorithms need a ton more work, but you might be able to run a web node (if you don't mind doing a decent amount of config) and make a nice sum of coins that way.

Wow !
Do you have any ballpark estimate of what the prices would be ?
I know you cannot completely control it , but what would you speculate it to be Tongue

I guess that would be the average conversation with a person oblivious of Storj Smiley
I'd love to be enrolled in the beta Smiley
We wrote an article on this: http://blog.storj.io/post/88303701698/storj-vs-dropbox-cost
Early on the prices will be fixed, but we will transition to a bid system. Users and Miners(Storjers???) will have to decide what price works on the open market.
