This is a great idea. Even just a little 40-second youtube cartoon embedded in the homepage that can be linked to in press releases, to break it down for the people who don't speak tech.
It is pretty hard to predict what will happen to the price of the coin (SJCX) after launch. We all tend to price the GB/year plans, it has been compared to Dropbox costs, Amazon costs, and so on. The truth is, there is a market out there, and price is driven, as always, by supply and demand. However, the implementation details are very important, too. For a solution with a nice GUI, that is easy to use, people will be willing to pay a decent price. If it is going to be hard for them to figure out how it all works.. then not so much.
I feel that Dropbox is popular not only because it fills a need (for online storage), but also because it is also easy to use, and it looks good.

Yup, I agree it's less about the price and more about easy of use and attractiveness. Security and decentralization are great and all, but they're meaningless in terms of a successful business without a GUI that's clean and grandma-easy.
Re: [ANN] Metadisk - Blockchain Based File Sharing - Powered by Storj
It can definitely be profitable. The actual "product" Storj is offering is rock-solid. And I, for one, will definitely use it. My only concern is whether the public actually cares enough to be smart about their security. A lot of times, success is about who gets to market first. And with people heavily invested (space-wise) in things like Dropbox, laziness about moving could outweigh the protection they'd get from moving to Storj.
Re: [ANN] DriveShare - Earn money by sharing your extra hard drive space
I am very interested to see where the market puts the cost of 1GB of storage on this platform once the background complexity is abstracted away and users only see a Dropbox type storage solution.
Totally. End of the day, the client-facing portion of Storj needs to be as basic as Dropbox. And I'm guessing (hoping?) that Storj being p2p means that costs should be substantially lower to the consumer, since the majority of hardware and electricity costs are are spread among the user base?
Re: [ANN] Storjcoin X (SJCX) - A Coin for Decentralized Cloud Storage
Do help to spread the word and subscribe to the subreddit @ http://www.reddit.com/r/storj/
subbed for sure. will be following this project for the foreseeable future.
Definitely. p2p is absolutely the way to go. I live near the Sony lot and they're STILL in a shambles, their company-wide system down, doing stuff by pen and paper!

Totally. Dropbox has a dead-simple interface. It just works, and sharing files/folders are so easy. If the public can be taught why p2p storage is more secure, and Storj has a clean interface, it'll fly!

When will the whitepaper for driveshare be released?
I'd love to know this, too!
Re: [ANN] DriveShare - Earn money by sharing your extra hard drive space
I like this video a lot...but I'm curious because I've read of cases where bitcoin markets have been hacked (or maybe just a specific bitcoin bank?)...and it seems like there's a similarity between Storj and bitcoin, in their decentralization. I'm curious how safe it really is? I realize it's definitely the safest option we currently have, at any rate!
Re: [ANN] Metadisk - Blockchain Based File Sharing - Powered by Storj
To the person who asked what differentiates this project from all the other free cloud services... One's like storing all your data in a big pile in one company's pocket, Storj is like storing different parts of each page in the pockets of people who don't even know they have anything of yours to begin with! MUCH more secure!!
