What is about the collaboration with Microsoft?
Converting old coin to the new one, is a potentially good thing or a bad thing for investor?
The coin will be released on poloniex but is already on poloniex and bittrex, why bring new ico, what happen with the older ico?
What If the demand for storage is not so great and there won't be many prosperous farmers?
How did presale gather this sum of over 15 milion in such short period?
Why would take up to 4 weeks to release the new takes if there is already the token in the market?
Why needed a new ico for the same product?
Collaboration with Microsoft? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Converting old coin to new one. It will be a simple process of sending your coins to an official website, and getting an equal number of new coins back to your wallet address. The old coins used the Bitcoin blockchain (Counterparty) and the new ones will use the Ethereum blockchain.
Why bring new ico? Storj was switching to the Ethereum blockchain instead of the Bitcoin blockchain to speed transactions and reduce fees. It made sense to also do another coin sale round. They did not create more coins. They have held the majority of coins and decided to sell and burn an equal portion during the sale.
What if the demand for storage is not so great? Well, that's a question you can apply to any business. What if nobody needs to buy bricks any more? What happens to the Brick maker? I can't answer that.
How did they handle the presale? It was announced months in advance. It was laid out in various blog postings. It was public the entire time. Anyone could have participated if they met the minimum threshold.
Why will it take 4 weeks? It will take until the end of the sale. So if you bought your coins on the first day, you have to wait until at least the end of the sale, so everyone gets their coins at around the same time.
Why a new ICO? Funding to help the project. They control the majority of coins because the first ICO didn't sell that well. (Unfortunate because the price then was 22 cents a coin, and now it's 50 cents) So because they are switching coin back ends, they are having another sale from the same coin supply. New coins were not created.
