Ryan/lemmy here I will try to answer any and all questions here looks like a lot of things being said not many specific questions...so let's have em we will answer anything here we can.
I anticipate many questions are what is happening with the rest of the coins so here is a break down
500,000,000 total sjcx is the plan to issue then lock
15% 75,000,000 were allocated for developers to pay salaries and bounties for the development team and volunteers
15% 75,000,000 are allocated to a community fund for the community to make decision on what to do with.
70% 350,000,000 were allocated for the crowdsale..it looks like about 36,000,000 were distributed this way.
As stated
http://us8.campaign-archive2.com/?u=edba9fc4ce8b9095a31859cba&id=59c0942390Because there has been a lot of confusion about the 9,800 BTC goal, we wanted to be very clear that this is a long-term goal. Most crowdsales choose goals that they intend to reach in a specific time period, but in reality these are highly unpredictable. Instead, we chose a goal that was overly optimistic. That is, we never intended to reach 9,800 BTC during this crowdsale. All of the crowdsale participants will receive early access to our software, such as Metadisk and DriveShare. We have a lot of plans for leveraging the unsold Storjcoin X from our crowdsale to develop and support the network and related applications through their early stages. So what exactly happens to these coins?
Early Farming Rewards
A portion of the remaining coins will be used to reward users in the early DriveShare network for the space that they are offering and for testing the network. This amount will be determined once the crowsdale is complete. We feel that simply deciding this amount arbitrarily, without knowing how many are remaining, would be irresponsible. Furthermore, we believe we should have an in-depth and open discussion before making this important decision, just like the one we had when we deliberated on which protocol to use for SJCX. Please make sure you are registered on our official forum
http://storjtalk.org to be a part of that discussion.
Future Crowdsales
Remaining portions of the coins will be distributed during future crowdsales, mostly for new storage platforms. We are exploring many different models for this. Applications such as Metadisk should run independently, but on the Storj platform. If you have been watching the forums, you have also seen the demos for decentralized video, decentralized audio, and decentralized image applications. These could become game changing applications whose own crowdsales could be supplemented by Storjcoin X, as users will need Storjcoin X to run and use these applications on the Storj network. This will also provide value to Storj because they will ensure the storage space that you sell to the network is being bought and used.
The remaining coins are slated for distribution to people testing the network with Driveshare as well as some for future if needed crowdsale.
All current code is available on github.com/storj there is a post on reddit looking to bring on another developer
