Re: KILLING SHITCOINS STARTING FROM THE TOP -> LTC (LITECOIN)
There are good altcoins and there are bad altcoins. Litecoin has remained unchanged for too long, and brings nothing to the table. Literally the only reason Litecoin is popular is because it got picked up early on. Litecoin will see its demise, and legitimately decent coins such Counterparty, Darkcoin, and BitShares will still shine.
Maidsafe seem to be ahead in the development stage.
How so?Check their progress and number of pull requests, the work done has been massive.
Then again, it's all about cooperation. No need to back one or the other - Storj and MaidSafe plan on some amount of integration with one another.
Maidsafe seem to be ahead in the development stage.
How so?what different storj with dropbox??
Storj is decentralized. On top of that, Storj allows for the creation of applications on top of the network.Group A testing - the first round of beta testers - for DriveShare launched last night on the Storj network. You can see these new farmers here https://live.driveshare.org/.
Considering I have over 2 TB of space just on my normal hard drive, i'd love to use this. It looks really cool.
We have removed our whitepaper because we want to refine it a bit more. At least according to those numbers if you sold you hard drive at Dropbox prices you would make $2,000 a year off your 2 TB. You will be a very happy camper when we add proof of resource to Storj.We aren't promising that quite yet as the computer science algorithms need a ton more work, but you might be able to run a web node (if you don't mind doing a decent amount of config) and make a nice sum of coins that way.
EDIT: If you have any kind of beta for this, please let me know. I'd be eager to help work out bugs and just generally help with this.
EDITEDIT: I just looked on the website and entered my email, didn't see that before.
Should not be a problem when we have our apps for that. We also plan on working with Maidsafe for the whole sell your hard drive part.
A couple questions:
1.- So this is an encryption protocol by which images/documents/files will be "saved" to hard drives of people's computers all over the world, presumably in parts, am I right? If I am, the likelihood of those parts of files being lost or otherwise inaccessible, is very high, so I'd imagine there will be numerous "backups" with the search jumping from one to another until finding the right, complete file/folder which is requested... if that is the case, how is this going to compete or even use remotely close numbers to dropbox, that you mention, when they have DEDICATED server accessible 24/7? And since so many people will be paid for their storage, either insignificant payments will be made or it would result in non competitive prices... what am I missing?
2.- Since this will be completely decentralized, people will be storing in their computers, unknowingly, everything from child porno to unlawful contracts of every kind, from drugs and weapons to human parts... how do you plan on avoiding legal enforcement giving the seriousness of the items? Yo DO know that such activities will not only BE LOCATED but shot down and with the responsible parties (that would be you or anyone that facilitates and/or makes money facilitating such activities) thrown in jail, don't you?
2) Considering the encryption involved, though it isn't impossible to break, it will be extremely hard to figure out what a file is that is being stored on a node's hard drive - so hard in fact that it would be virtually useless to try to break the encryption. In that way, you can't really get in trouble as a host because there is essentially no way to see what is being stored on your hard drive.
On the flip side, if you are storing something illegal on the network, you yourself can get in trouble if LE confiscates your computer. Considering that people will be using things like VPNs and that all you have is an address for SJCX, even then you wouldn't be able to tell what node is storing the illegal content. So while for these examples you can't say FOR SURE that the encryption would be cracked back to the storee or forward to the storage node, it would most likely take such an incredibly long time and a huge amount of computing power that it would be useless to try (to the point that even with a supercomputer or something of the likes it would take billions of year to brute force).
This isn't to say that Storj is made for illegal content, though. We've been passing around ideas for things like if a storee or node makes it public knowledge that they are facilitating the transfer of illegal content, they can be blacklisted.
Re: [ANN][HASH][POS] CLEVERHASH COIN [SATOSHIS CLOUD MINING] X11 X13 X15 ASIC MINER
Only replying to this thread because later on I want to be able to say "I told you guys this was not a good investment." Seriously, I hate people who yell "Scam!" but y'all will fall for anything that has nice graphics. Especially looking at the history the mining industry has had, you guys are going to get burned.
Re: [ANN][GSX] Glowshares: Community Driven Blockchain Development
can't they just give exact time ....
https://twitter.com/BittrexExchange/status/535196665414942720Both Burst coin and Storj coin have announced they intend to develop decentralized storage facilities, but I don't know if either of them have actually done it yet.
As far as I know, Burst is PoC, which is interesting in itself but won't allow for decentralized storage. If I missed some info about Burst, could you link me to where you read about this? I am interested. Storj on the other hand is a blockchain-based decentralized cloud storage platform. We currently have a working early version of our file-sharing application MetaDisk available at http://node1.metadisk.org/ and we expect our DriveShare application, which will allow users to rent out their excess hard drive space to the network, to be out by the end of this year. Take a peek at https://github.com/storj if you would like to see how far we are!

Re: 2014 Proof of Honor (POH) Awards - Nominate an Individual!
I nominate Shawn Wilkinson aka super3 of Storj 
- http://storj.io/
- http://storj.io/Bittrex has voiced security concerns with assets, and in our case, Counterparty assets. We have yet to see whether these concerns are legitimate.
No need to choose between Storj or MaidSafe. They have their differences and they have their similarities, but considering there should be some integration with one another at some point, one won't really have to choose.
Storj is frozen in Polo, what happened?
Poloniex was the victim of a DDoS hack earlier today, but everything is back to normal. SJCX as well is not frozen.
