Crowdsale Ending in 36 Hours!

When: August 18, 2014 11:59:59 EDT

Where: http://storj.io/crowdsale



Why Should I Contribute to the Crowdsale?

The crowdsale allows you to get early access to DriveShare, the hard drive renting app, as well as Metadisk, our blockchain based file storage app. You also receive Storjcoin X, a cryptocurrency used for buying and selling space on the Storj network.



DriveShare Status

Two of the three libraries necessary for DriveShare are feature complete. In the next couple of weeks, we will slowly start to release prototype software ONLY to crowdsale participants.



Our plan is simple: we want to slowly scale the software. So in order of crowdsale contributions, we will be allowing crowdsale participants to farm in the early network. We want to do this incrementally with a test release of 10 users followed by a short development time, then release to 100 users, test thoroughly then fix, etc. This way we can learn as we build, but also give crowdsale participants a first-mover advantage on the Storj network. During this time, farming will not be open to the public as they will have to wait until the software is ready and able, and/or the crowdsale participants can no longer keep up with the demand for storage space.



Metadisk Status

Metadisk has been under development for the past couple of months, and our test nodes have been running reliably. Check out our forums, and try out this software for yourself. Our users have also produced demos for decentralized video, audio, and images using our current API. At the end of the crowdsale we will start releasing demos and more use cases. Metadisk will be the first production application on the Storj network followed by further applications like DriveShare.



More on STORJCOIN X

Storjcoin X (SJCX) is a cryptocurrency that runs on the Counterparty protocol and is intended to be used to buy and sell storage space within Storj's applications. You can earn it by selling your excess hard drive space with DriveShare, or use it to purchase space on the Storj network with Metadisk. We have written a detailed article on Why Storjcoin X will have Value .
