Played around with the site a little bit, and it looks decent enough. But I have some questions (and apologies if they are dumb questions).
Is this similar to storj, where the blockchain is used for cloud storage? It looks more like a traditional cloud storage site, centralized, which you plan to fund via crypto. And if that is the case, what purpose does the coin serve exactly?
is not similar to storj, we will be using the block chain for our small drive feature and seed tracker under 25mb, we are still under research on those two, correct at this point we have a centralized solution with features pointing at the crypto user and daily functions with privacy in hand, the purpose of the coin is to bring cloud and crypto together taking from both parts cloud features and decentralize wallet features, having the coin has a payment method would bring more people to adoption of it, just b/c they have daily functions with privacy.
just a simple example, say you have a friend that is not too interested in crypto but hes into group sharing or video streaming or cloud privacy, maybe he wants to back some files or make a voip call (a premium feature we are working on), at some point the coin adoption will happen if your reward users with the coin (reward program for user referrals and usage of their account), has we are focusing on user experience and interactivity with customer care is our goal to bring the two together.
Hmm... okay, appreciate the answers.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but it does sound like a similar situation as to if we pretend dropbox (when it was in its infancy) just decided to add a crypto coin as a payment option, and offered rewards for referrals. Nothing inherently wrong with that, just that the coin isn't really part of the whole cloud thing, nor necessary exactly. It's more for your initial funding + payment/referral features (at least that is what I gather).
I guess I expected a greater level of incorporation with crypto. More decentralization using the blockchain or something similar. Something that could be interesting and maybe a bit simpler for you to do, would be to use the coin as a form of POS, but instead of just coin earned, cloudspace could be earned, simply based on holdings? Such as owning a certain amount of XCloud gives the user a certain amount of file space (without the user needing to actually spend the coin)? Anything like that planned? Or is that what you mean by using the coin for payment?
