RE: STORJ - Decentralized Cloud Storage on the Ethereum Network
Storj is 100x easier to setup then Siacoin or Burst is. Storjshare took 30 seconds to download, 30 seconds to install, and 30 seconds to setup. If you have a computer that you have on anyways I would highly recommend adding storjshare to it to get a little extra income off it while its on. It takes a while to build up its storage but once done it's smooth sailing from there.
Hi @budz82,
I am unfamiliar with the setup or much about the very technical side, it is quite extensive some complex formulas involved and beyond my previous experience.
You will have to let me know how you get on and how the farmer payment functions proper once you receive.
By "build up its storage" is this downloading a copy of the blockchain or just the shards of data you are storing and pointers to the merkle tree for the users you are supplying?
No for Storj you simply download storeshare, install it, it asks you to input a ERC20 compatible wallet for payment and then you simply create a folder on your computer and then through storjshare you pick that folder and tell the program how much space to allocate for people to use. Its that simple.
Wow didn't think it was so straightforward.
Looking at the Storj Share GUI explanation on their website was a bit daunting with suggestions to change configurations and router settings thought would be more difficult and I personally don't like to change from current setup for maximum security.
Do you have any idea how the payment will function and after how long you will receive your first?
I have not yet received my first payment so I am a bit limited on how much I can help with that part. That being said my current understanding is that at the start of each new month the previous months payments will be sent out automatically to the wallet you attach to your account, but again I haven't gone through that process yet so I am unable to confirm this part as of yet.
