version Dataserv-Client Version 2.1.4 is out now on https://github.com/Storj/dataserv-client/releases
February 13, 2015, 10:05:03 PM
Should Test Group A stop running their clients until the new version is out?
At this point... the client doesn't run for too long before crashing... although it does fire up again without any problems.
Meaning... are we witnessing a transition in the network because of you simultaneously running the new version?... are we still helping you retrieve data considering the numerous crashes or are we causing the network a problem by repeatedly dropping contracts?
thnx
Edit: Hmmm... it stopped crashing approximately one hour after I posted the above.
We have collected the data we need as of v.0.1.5 but if people keeps testing we could collect even more.
The team is working on progressing to the next stage for Group A with added functionality, and looking forward to release an enhanced version of downstream-farmer.
You are still welcome to test but for the moment only v.0.1.5 will work with the current beta: https://github.com/Storj/downstream-farmer/releases/tag/v0.1.5.
Higher releases are for internal testing for the time being, until we are are able to scale up to the rest of Group A testers.
Our devs are working on making that happen as soon as possible.

We are currently testing the next DriveShare release with 100GB file transfers.
A bit more testing is needed to make sure it is stable and our infrastructure can support it.
This is what the interface will look like.

Our Lead Designer Tome has been working on some new Storj Stickers and they are now complete.
Find attached a zip file that contains them all as high res .jpg files (CMYK - 300dpi).
They are ready to fit the Moo.com rectangular sticker template.
We will also print a few and add them to the StorjTalk Shop!
Download the templates from here: StorjStickersTemplates.zip
The attached templates work perfectly on Moo.com, they should work on a local site of your choice too.
If you find a local printer in your country that works better and cheaper make sure to post a link.
You can also setup your own template for other people in your area who may be interested.

Our team is thrilled to announce that Storj has been awarded as one of Black Duck’s Open Source Rookies of the Year!
We launched our beta test on December 20 of last year and expect to start scaling up during 2015.
There is a lot of attention towards our project, and we mean to live up to the expectations of our fans and supporters.
Secure, private, and decentralized cloud storage will be a hot topic in 2015, and we want Storj to be at the center of it.
We’d like to thank the community for their enthusiastic support, as well as the dedicated group of volunteers who help maintain the project.
We dedicate our Black Duck Open Source Rookies of the Year Award to each one of you.
Each year, Black Duck names ten new open source projects as their Rookies of the Year.
Previous awards include Ansible, Docker, Bootstrap, Tox, and many other great Open Source projects.
We’re honored to be acknowledged alongside such great ideas as well as the other rookies this year.

DriveShare Farming should be back as normal. Let us know here otherwise. Go ahead and try to connect if you are part of Test Group A.
We are still analyzing the data collected and work is in progress to add 100GB file size transfers.

So when will it realease for everyone to use (provide the HDD space). On the OP theres a note its in beta and users who are new to this cant earn anything yet ?
There isn't a specific date for the beginning of Phase B/C or for the actual launch since it all depends on how each test phase works. But I imagine that we will only see progress through the next few months. The project is obviously active and the community is very participatory...I'm down for enjoying the journey...; )
Thanks for the support MemoryShock and for answering people's questions, appreciated
As mentioned above the beta is currently in progress. It is a basic test for the moment. We are working on bigger test files for the next stage and possibly enabling basic file transfers.
We will make announcements for each one of the next beta stages and when we push added functionality to the current Test Group A beta.
It will be a while before we launch to the public, possibly a few more months. Impossible to have even a rough estimate at the moment.
One thing is for sure, our developers are working hard to make this happen and things or progressing well.
If anyone here has some high level coding skills (Python mainly and C++) feel free to get involved, we are always on the lookout for extra help.
The best way to get involved is to go onto our GitHub (https://github.com/storj), look around and submit a pull request or open an issue.
We don't do interviews or look at people's CVs, we look at what you can do.

Anybody knows how big is a chunk data stored on your hard drive ? Can chunk size be changed by a user?
the shard size is currently being tested in the beta phase, among other configurations. The end users will be able to request the level of redundancy they prefer, however, I the chunk size would not be a user defined option in order to assure network efficiency and data privacy.
Exerpt from the Storj whitepaper:
"We define a standardized shard size as a byte multiple such as 8 MB or 32 MB. These are kept at pre-set sizes to dissuade any attempt to determine what is being stored. Sharding also allows large files to be more manageable as they are distributed throughout the network..."
You can find out more about the details of chunking on Storj in the whitepaper´s chapter 2 here: http://storj.io/storj.pdf
Thanks!
