Due to the increase in value, the 10 000 SJCX "ticket" to enter the beta might be too steep for some.

agreed. its the equivalent of telling some one "here is the very first iPod, but it will cost you $350 to try it, if it works well, we will release 450 million iPods, but at a cheaper price."

There is only 44 million coins out in the wild out of a possible 500 million. The devs should release a block of coins, say 20 million, and put a sell wall well below the current market price say 4k SAT or even cheaper. it shouldn't cost 1.5 BTC to participate in a beta. They would still raise money, get more people involved in the beta, which will look amazing in regards to media and advertising.

i would love to participate in the Batch 2
how can i? and is it international?

Only people who participated in the original crowdsale in August can participate in Test group A and B. Anyone who has 10,000 SJCX can participate in Test Group C, but the time frame hasn't been announced yet.

too bad

can't wait for the official launch

I'd love to join the batch #2

Sorry but from the looks of it I don't think you participated in the crowdsale so you won't be able to join batch 2 (B) However you can participate in Test group C if you acquire 10 000 SJCX for more information you should checkout : http://storj.io/earlyaccess.html Wink

It's a global thing, why not?

Early Access Test Groups for DriveShare Beta

We have released the Early Access Plans for the DriveShare Beta, as announced on our forum and social media. Crowdsale participants get exclusive access to early farming software and applications.

Test Group A and B will be open only to crowdsale participants. Anyone can acquire 10,000 SJCX to participate in Test Group C.

There will be 3 Test Groups:

Group A Crowdsale participants holding 10,000 SJCX - Not Rewarded (Late 2014)
Group B All participants in the crowdsale - Rewarded (Early 2015)
Group C Anyone holding 10,000 SJCX or more - Rewarded (Early 2015)

SJCX can be purchased at any time and be added to your address balance to be able to qualify for Test Group C. Also your original crowdsale address can be topped up to and over 10,000 SJCX to be eligible for Test Group A.

“Not Rewarded” means Group A will only be helping with testing and will not earn coins for sharing their storage. “Rewarded” means you will earn SJCX to share your free storage during beta testing (Groups B and C).

At the time of testing, make sure you use a SJCX or Bitcoin address where you control the private keys; we do not recommend using an address from an exchange. There may be a need to verify you actually own the address before you are allowed to be a tester. We are still finalizing the details and we will make more announcements when closer to the early release.

In the interest of clarity, if you have any questions or something isn’t clear please ask by posting on our Q&A on StorjTalk and we will keep it in consideration when we get closer to release.

From users' standpoint, user-friendly interface and usage is very important, with Metadisk's drag and drop UI, I think most users would find no problem using it. Open source & end to end encryption makes more companies willing to store their data on Storj.

I know once Metadisk is operating fully for the general public Storj(sjcx) will dominate this space, if you look at in a corporate standpoint Storj has the potential to disrupt the whole cloud service industry and solidify Storj's market place.... Grin

The good think with metadisk is that it is opensourse, meaning that "anyone" can setup a node like this and use it to store files to storj network Wink

I like the idea to keep a minimum SJCX to run dark-coin , but see how dark coin ended , Massive pump and dumps .. we should learn from other coin's mistake , or would be great to give more preference to nodes that hold more SJCX ?

People would need to keep their computers on for this to work right? What if you need to access your data and they turned their computer off? Great idea though, I'm excited to see how this turns out.

I imagine people would have an incentive to leave their computers on 24/7 to earn more. I know I certainly will. I also imagine that file storage would have redundancy for safety reasons.

you need to leave your computer running. storj uses "heartbeats" to check the status of a node. If a node drops (ie you turn off your server), it will seek out another node to copy the file you hosted, then it will end your contract. It does this so 3 copies (minimum) of the hosted file is available online at all times. When you contract ends you will no longer be paid storj because you are no longer providing the service of hosting the encrypted files.

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?

Don't think there's a big deal to resume a previous contract. Just turn your node back up again and get another contract in the queue.
#tip - run it on a Linux box, you will have better uptime on it.

You all got me interested. But I have a simple question Huh

. This seems a bit complicated from a normal man's perspective. I mean should a normal/ not so technosavy person opt for this kind of service , do we really need it and is it available across all platform?

The platform will be very simple and easy to use you don't have to worry. I think anyone will enjoy using It

Not at this stage, when it's still in the beta. But once the service is online and available to the public, there's no reason why it should be anymore complicated to use than other file sharing services and available cross-platform. A lot of the advantages discussed here convert into real benefits in terms of cost and security for the average consumer.

The heartbeat frequency may be set so there is time for that and some files may not need as many checks as often. Part of the reason for test group A is gathering data to figure out what is needed.
