The idea of storj is brilliant though. Th reason I will not use cloud storage for anything but the most mundane of files, is that some company has the damn "key" to my files. Not only that, but hackers could conceivably gain access to them at any time by hacking some general db of the cloud storage company.

I love the idea of "shredding", and then storing the "shreds" all over the network - all accessible only through your privkey. I think that's a brilliant idea that will be well received. Anonymity and decentralization - that's crypto after all. This fits, and could really take off if implemented correctly.

I will be watching this for sure.
