- conradk 12y agoThis looks nice. But unfortunately, the headline is WAY to technical for "regular" people: > DECENTRALIZED CLOUD STORAGE > Storj is based on the Bitcoin blockchain technology and peer-to-peer protocols to provide the most secure, private and efficient cloud storage. "Regular" people, people that just want their stuff backed up and synced, do not necessarily know what "decentralized cloud storage", "Bitcoin blockchain" or "peer-to-peer protocols" are. Also, Dropbox clearly stated that it was not hacked. I cannot imagine Dropbox storing passwords in clear text. To me, this "hack" looks like a scam trying to make easy Bitcoin money. What we need is to make people aware of the security implications of using the same password everywhere.
- cookiecaper 12y agoDecentralized storage is definitely cool, but I'm not convinced the blockchain is the right place to do it. There are already multiple implementations of decentralized storage like this, like Tahoe-LAFS, Freenet, or SpaceMonkey.
