I think in the future a 1.5 - 3 billion valuation would be fair .01 to 0.02 btc some day.

I think sjcx will have and maintain value, yes storage gets cheaper over time however with a foxed supply of sjcx each one will have to purchase more space on the network

One of the complaints of other CC is that there is nothing backing it other that the fact that paople want it. Here we have a currency that has something backing it. I think this is the future.
that is an interesting comment

So... I am kicking myself right now for not jumping on board with Storj during the initial crowdsale. I feel like I'm just playing catch up. So... I'm setting up a driveshare machine and working to accumulate 10,000 SJCX really quick. I'm considering tinkering with one of the Synology NAS's to use it as a Storj device. I saw a mention of it but no one seems to have followed up on the development yet. I extracted their firmware and it looks pretty doable, but I've yet to buy a device yet.
My friend is doing the same on those Taiwan made boxes. Let me find that picture first.
And the price is going up again : https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_sjcx
What Taiwan made boxes are you referring to? I wasn't excited about paying $175 for a Synology box, but it looks like it would pay for itself in saved electricity over 4 years... if it runs at 19 watts as advertised. I'd be glad to switch to another manufacturer. I know Shawn had talked about some "branded" hardware during the Trial A video, but I don't know what he used.
The problem with tiny barebones linux-based machines (thinking RPi and Beaglebone) is that they lack the SATA.
This Cubietruck: http://www.cubietruck.com/collections/frontpage/products/cubieboard2-allwinner-a20-arm-cortex-a7-dual-core-development-board looks fine, but I'm not interested in paying $65 for it when most of the chip will be idled (even useless if we develop a stripped kernel for efficiency). This looks like a good time for a worldwide search for the optimal hardware.
Regarding the lack of SATA on the Raspberry Pi, there have been various solutions proposed to this problem, including USB to SATA adapters. Some interesting discussions/practical instructions on how to accomplish this can be found here:
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/360/can-i-attach-a-sata-controller
and here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=91131
I'm aware of the USB adapters for Raspberry Pi's, but I have a pretty substantial belief that using that kind of setup would introduce an inevitable bottleneck. It may be worth trying, but I'm guessing either the RPi processor won't be able to keep up with IO operations on the network or the USB/SATA interface will introduce a bus bottleneck. There is one way to find out! I do have the hardware for that so I might give it a run tonight.
Great, please report back with your test results! Also, I forgot to mention a possible alternative, the Banana Pi, which already has SATA integrated and is all around more powerful, but still compatible with many RPi accessory boards:

you can pick up a Banana Pi (or Raspberry Pi) at newegg, which means, you can pay for it with bitcoin!

Absolutely awesome! I hadn't heard of the Banana Pi but I'm buying one ASAP. Do you have any experience with it?

why not contact bter to be listed?more exchange brings more people.
You can vote for it on BTER. It currently has a little over 1400 up votes and one down vote. It needs about ten times the up votes i order to be in the running to get listed.
It certainly is an exchange they are trying to get listed on.

We have an ongoing effort in the storj community to encourage our members to vote for listing of SJCX on various exchanges, including BTer. Please consult this thread: https://storjtalk.org/index.php?topic=1903.msg12908#msg12908 for instructions how to vote for SJCX on https://bter.com/voting#SJCX
We are currently at rank 44, so all you BTer traders, please help us get SJCX on Bter asap!

Keep your SJCX, now price is just peanuts, it can goes much much higher , this on of my best coin for 2015
So.. I don't think of this as one of the much hyped "investment coins" - I really think of Storj as a utility with a coin as a unit of gatekeeping. I'd like to think there's a place where we use blockchain technologies as utilities rather than get-rich-quick schemes. (Or should I say systems?)

Are there any plans for an offer that allows users to receive a bit of storj for free? You know, how most of the other competitors offer "2 GB for free" and then paid plans for an additional charge? It seems like it would lower the barrier-to-entry for people who aren't ready to purchase storj.
