I have been also looking for answers for the same questions and didn't found any. IMHO the redundancy for the files to stay safe will have to be an order of magnitude greater than the traditional storage, making the storage in the Storj network too expensive. Considering that the "miners" will mine as far as it's profitable to do it, this could pose a BIG risk for the persistency of data stored in Storj.
Not really... Amazon makes 3 copies when you use their storage, so Storj isn't an order of magnitude at all... Outside of Storj, any existing, traditional redundancies use a "magnitude" depending on redundancy chosen.
Storj will make 3 copies by default, and if you want more, you can specify that in your contract and pay more for it... So I dont understand your "orders of magnitude" concern.  Can you explain more what you men by it?  Btw, have you read the white paper yet?
When I say an order of magnitude greater, I mean that to achieve the SAME safety of for example a RAID1 storage where 2 disks would represent 2 nodes you would need 20 nodes (I am just speculating). With just 3 copies of your data in a decentralized network, the probability of data loss is _much_ higher than using centralized options. But maybe there are other use cases for STORJ.

One way it could work is if miners get as specialized as in Bitcoin, but of course you need a growing economic model for this, and again that would defeat the purpose of decentralization as is already happening with Bitcoin.

It doesn't really work that way... Take a look at the white paper.

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.




Congrats!!!

These guys just know how to spend your money on making flashy videos. Can you put effort write some code and resolve the technical difficulties like sybill attacks etc. instead of marketing and trying to get more funds

I'm assuming you shoot from the hip, you speak first then you think (maybe)...
Do a little research and reading first and then please come back and bring constructive criticism and input to help Storj.  Else, go troll elsewhere.

quick question, since i dont understand this well.

The nodes are people that are going to give space of the hard drive, so the net puts the file encrypted in them, right?
how much does someone gets pay?
Imagine i have a 4 TB HDD, i want to know where i can see the , earnings of putting that in storj, by month

Sorry if it is a noob question.

edit: i found this http://driveshare.org/ but it says i will earn, like for 1TB, some services gives me 60 dolares each month? o.O is that real what im reading???

The calculator is showing major services pricing.  As simply offering space does not guarantee utilization you will be paid for the space you have that is utilized.  Until the network is live it will be very challenging to give accurate predictions

yes and then it will take some time for paying user adoption.

i look at StorJ as a 2020 thing.  it is going to take some time for buyers to trust the new technology.
Maybe not a 2020 timeframe since all the hacks and leaks reported in mainstream...  Most users won't even know their application is storing data/files on Storj. For ex, some auto backup program.  A regular user would be a layer from Storj with all the benefits etc...

I also noticed that the Storj whitepaper is co-written by Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin. Personal contribution or is Ethereum involved with the project?

Vitalik was a technical contributor to the paper. He contributed on a personal level and not officially on behalf of Ethereum. That being said, when Ethereum goes live we'll certainly be interested in integrating Ethereum contracts.
