Beta or not, I will definitely be deploying some nodes for this when the public release is ready
I'm very excited about this...I would love to participate in the beta.
We have some ETA for the beta?

What happens when this three nodes lose connection?
If the 3 nodes that hold a specific fragment you want to download go offline at the same time, you won't be able to access that fragment until one of them come back online. It's a scenario that's unlikely to happen, but Murphy's Law shouldn't be ignored either.
I personally don't think 3x redundancy will be enough with the current reward system. The retrieval speed of files and file availability will become an issue at times. Essentially, downloading your files from 3 nodes, is similar to you downloading a file via BitTorrent with 3 seeds. More often than not, if those 3 seeds are just at random locations throughout the world, chances are your speed will suck.
Now, if Metadisk/Storj early on implements a scheme to reward not only available storage space, but also stability and speed, then I can see 3x redundancy working wonderfully. A project like Storj will depend an awful lot on the stability of its network, and since it's decentralized, also on how many people are using it AND using it while having a good experience doing so.
Incentivizing stability and speed is key. Otherwise you risk ending up with humongous amounts of unreliable and slow storage space.
question about the project
Can I share my files only to trusted nodes (for example my 3 data center - different IPs)?

then transfers the encrypted file to three (3) separate locations. This 3-time storage complies with the cloud storage redundancy standard.

I have been much of a lurker up until now but I would like to participate in this project if there is an open slot available.
Limited Beta
Storj is offering a very limited beta. We want to get some good feedback as we develop this application. There are currently 16 slots available. If you reply to this topic early(just say you want in on the beta), I can just add you to this list. As we run out of spots, I'll reserve spots for people who provide interesting use cases, or want who want to help out.
If you miss this beta signup, just make sure to be signed up for our email list on Storj.io. Once Metadisk is a bit more polished we will be releasing it to everyone on our email list.

Hi, I would love to participate in this beta.
I am working in an advertisement agency with heavy dependency on file sharing with customers and workgroup. We are actually developing an even more decentralized agency model and which depends on file sharing even more.
thanks
Very interested, my nodes are waiting for this project 
I am interested in testing it out, sign me up for the beta
Very interested, I would like to join the beta.
I want to be a tester!
I have a couple TB on my NAS and a decently quick internet connection, I'll try it out
I'd like to participate in the beta program as well. I already host full nodes, so this project would fit well.
I'm the author of codinginmysleep.com and I am not only a sysadmin, programmer and Bitcoin super-nerd who would love to be a part of the beta, but I'll probably end up writing up my experience, assuming the rules of the beta allow. I also occasionally write for Bitcoin Magazine and I sometimes podcast with Let's Talk Bitcoin - I'm sure they'd be happy to cross-publish/promote.
Oh hey! Love codinginmysleep. I read it when I get the chance. I put you in the beta, and marked you as press. We have some internal writeups that might make that easier for you. Awesome! I always look forward to tinkering with new things, especially when they're crypto or Bitcoin related. Glad to hear you like the site, I've been a bit too swamped to write lately but things are starting to calm down and I'm quite excited to start experimenting and writing again.

Oh, and coincidentally I'm also the original author of bitrpc.py, the file you uploaded in your screenshot. That's gotta count for something, right?

Hi! I am a software engineer and a Bitcoin enthusiast. I have some free time and would be happy to participate in beta testing!
I would like to join the beta. Have been following Storj with interest for many months now. Keep up the great work!
If I'm not too late I'd like to sign up.
Would like to help beta testing!
