Hi I am interested but i have a few questions
1. Someone earns storjcoins based on the amount of the available GB he has on his hard drive?
2. Can this be an empty external hard drive?
3. How many storj per 1gb at the moment?
4. People store data on my hard drive. Are those data backed up anywhere else? What will happen if I decide to turn off my hard drive? Will people lose their data?

Thanks

quick question, since i dont understand this well.

The nodes are people that are going to give space of the hard drive, so the net puts the file encrypted in them, right?
how much does someone gets pay?
Imagine i have a 4 TB HDD, i want to know where i can see the , earnings of putting that in storj, by month

Sorry if it is a noob question.

edit: i found this http://driveshare.org/ but it says i will earn, like for 1TB, some services gives me 60 dolares each month? o.O is that real what im reading???

Why? They are not working on service based on Storj? I can't imagine nothing better.

Noob question. In the Metadisk whitepaper, it is stated that copies of data will be stored in three separate locations in line with current industry redundancy standards. In the Storj whitepaper, it is stated data will be broken down into byte multiples such as 8 MB or 32 MB. It is also stated that a "farmer must be able to prove cryptographically that it has the shard, and has not modified it in any way." What are the chances of a malicious actor 'damaging' all three shards and destroying the data?

I also noticed that the Storj whitepaper is co-written by Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin. Personal contribution or is Ethereum involved with the project?

What will be daily supply of storj?

There's no way to resume a contract? That's a bit silly. What if I need to turn off a server for maintenance? Do I have to start a new one?

What about external drives? I have a few terabyte externals that I would love to use if its possible. I have my data up in two different places right now, but Storj seems really handy by being encrypted.

So they're not tied together? how are they separated?

No problem, I was just trying to help you out.  It takes time :-)  STORJX (user on the forums) has corrected me on a few things.  That's how we keep it all straight.  I would rather be corrected than continue to be wrong.

I thought the 10,000 SJCX to be involved in Test Group C was just to rise barrier and have the parties show active interest in the technology.  I didn't think that was going to be an on going requirement.  As you noted that would limit the number of nodes to 50,000 and remove all SJCX from the market place.

looks like I'm removing all my sell orders 

will farmers need to maintain a minimum amount of coins in order to use driveshare?

might be interesting to see what type of valuation Storj can achieve if every node required 10,000 coins to run, sort of like Darkcoin. This would help raise funds for the developers and community.

This can be even broken down based on the amount of HD Space being shared. So for every 1TB a node needs 1000 STJX. This could ensure that the people hosting aren't some hacked servers or a pentuim 286 on an unreliable internet/electricity grid.

This might also stop or hinder blackhats from using stolen storage space to run nodes, as they will have to invest in a node in order to participate.

what's the relationship about Factom and Storj?
any link?

Great vid.

Agreed, I had been looking forward to this program for a few months. I had signed up on their forums and got in on a small SJCX giveaway. Then, I get this email from them that to participate you need 10k SJCX coins, which was like 2btc or something the other day. They tried to say that to participate in the program a few month ago, you had to deposit more counterpoint currency, I complained and I got an email reply that said they wouldn't ask for money to participate. I don't mind putting in a little bit to cement a bit a commitment, but not that much invested into SJCX. Crowdsale or not, if you want people to buy in, drop that level. Maybe 100 sjcx... not 10k.  Come on guys, lower that requirement.

P.S. I'm aware this post is probably going to be immediately flamed as an obvious scam, but frankly we're not worried about that. It's a totally real opportunity but only appropriate for a select few who can understand it, who can evaluate it properly and thoroughly by themselves before making a "go or no go" decision on it for themselves, and who can handle the personal responsibility issues of participation. The reward is great for those who can make the cut, and we don't much care about the opinions or flames of those who can't make the grade.  So go ahead and have fun flaming away in public if that's how you roll, haha, and leave the capable and open minded individuals to just PM me for more details in private.

I'm sorry, but I do not understand. Why do I have to buy 10,000 SJCX to take part in tests?
