Storj is doing their crowdsale on Counterparty. Here is a thread on Storjtalk about it: http://storjtalk.org/index.php?topic=1341.30

That is a big wake up call for msc. Counterparty is winning some battles.

Hopefully mastercore can help add more exchanges and restore community confidence back to msc.

It has to start with MasterCore before anything else can happen. While we're at it, is there anything you guys want to see the most during the next iteration of features? I apologize if I haven't been engaging us enough in this aspect. I do know the devs would like some UI input if anyone has anything to say there.

anyway, yes, XCP is winning battles, though the language in the previous posts may be a tad misleading. XCP is also getting the privilege of hosting Storj's crowdfund. This opinion probably is not worth much, but to me it's a testament to how fair a competitor the Counterparty team is and the sheer amounts of investment and sweat that has poured into the decentralized apps scene as a whole.

Storj.io is one of the first platforms with front end applications for decentralized, secure storage of data for end users. See website here: http://storj.io/ The platform is already up and running for the storage of data, the back end of decentralized mining will begin in the next few weeks. The crowdsale begins on July 18th at 8:00 a.m. eastern time and ends August 18th with a total of 500 Million Storjcoin X (SJCX) to be sold, the details are covered in the presentation link below and here: http://storj.io/crowdsale.html There is a 10% discount for the first 1,800 BTC collected and the discount progressively declines based on the volume of BTC collected. The team is using both the Counterparty and Master Protocols to issue the tokens. The back end is using a fork of data coin and plans to also support the Safe Network upon its launch.
