So... I am kicking myself right now for not jumping on board with Storj during the initial crowdsale. I feel like I'm just playing catch up. So... I'm setting up a driveshare machine and working to accumulate 10,000 SJCX really quick. I'm considering tinkering with one of the Synology NAS's to use it as a Storj device. I saw a mention of it but no one seems to have followed up on the development yet. I extracted their firmware and it looks pretty doable, but I've yet to buy a device yet.
My friend is doing the same on those Taiwan made boxes. Let me find that picture first.
And the price is going up again :
https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_sjcxWhat Taiwan made boxes are you referring to? I wasn't excited about paying $175 for a Synology box, but it looks like it would pay for itself in saved electricity over 4 years... if it runs at 19 watts as advertised. I'd be glad to switch to another manufacturer. I know Shawn had talked about some "branded" hardware during the Trial A video, but I don't know what he used.
Just a little cubietruck at the moment. Most barebones linux machines will probably do the trick.
