The Blockchain cloudstorage project Storj has created a graphical user interface for storing files easier on the Storj network. They have built a C library called libstorj which can be integrated into applications such as FileZilla. Compared to cloud providers such as Amazon, Storj provides a more secure and cheaper method for storing files online.
I usually don't promote any referral links but since this doesn't cost the readers anything I thought it would be okay. If I other more referral links in the future I will make sure to always mention it. Same goes for disclosing paid advertisement if I ever were to do those.
Storj currently offers 25 GB for 12 months for free for signing up! Click the image below!
Just like in many other aspects blockchain technology are providing a cheaper method due to its advantages, same thing goes for cloudstorage and another similar project to Storj would be Sia which has recently started selling their ASIC miners which I talked about in Alt-News #2.
Price Comparison
The cryptocurrency IOTA (Internet of things) has recently partnered up with F6S which is a world's largets platform for founders, start-ups and accelerators. Which means they will bring IOTA to their network and community which has over 2 million start-ups and developers and most of them focus on Internet-of-Things.
This could mean great things for the recently released currency which is currently only listed on Bitfinex. If you want to know more about IOTA I recommend checking out the website which is a work of art by itself.
At the same time IOTA is already partnered up with a lot of other businesses, some of the big names on the big list that stuck with me were: IBM, Microsoft and Consensys. Click here for a list of the rest of the connections
Enterprise Ethereum Alliance Becomes World’s Largest Open-source Blockchain Initiative
The total amount of Memberships recently exceeded over 150 Organizations in less than seven months. This is including the recently added Cisco Systems, Scotiabank, Government of Andhra Pradesh and MasterCard.
EEA’s rapid growth in membership mirrors the accelerating acceptance and deployment of Ethereum blockchain solutions in the global marketplace,
said Julio Faura, chairman of the board of Enterprise Ethereum Alliance.
The technological breadth, depth and variety of organizations coming together under the auspices of EEA to create and drive enterprise Ethereum standards bodes well for the future development of the next-generation Ethereum ecosystem.
The EEA was formed earlier this year and is seeking to evolve Ethereum into an enterprise-grade technology. Guess this is one of the big advantages of a technology having a face of the founders behind it which in my opinion was something important that bitcoin lacked to gain trust in real world companies and people. That and the technology behind it and what it can do compared to BTC.
It's going to be exciting when the world starts to look more into DPoS technologies and their advantage they have over PoW, which I believe Ethereum themselves are looking forward to evolve into soon with Casper.
I did try storj, thanks to a mention @moisesmcardona did at the chatrooms (that guy is a guru of altcoins), yet, when I tryed it (by sharing my free disk space) nothing happened.
I guess there's way more people offering space than people pretending to save things on the cloud (especially if we consider some mobile phones have more storage space than many PCs).

I remember trying it at one point as well and it seemed like not much was happening, maybe it has evolved since then, haven't actually tried to upload anything yet but the rates seem good.

Storj have a little strange payment options, first of all it pay month , and your node must be working with out any connectivity issues , but in order to share on the network a big hard drive you gonna need a monster ISP line to be able to cover all the demand !

IOTA looks like such an interesting project. I'd love to see how it develops In the future. I still hope etherium does well and am holding onto mine. I that the developers and Vitali being the face of the project are doing a great job at keeping it up even with all the problems popping up lately. Thanks for sharing that storage cloud!

Sounds like a great alternative. With the increased interest of moving to a cloud based system for just about everything, I believe that better products will surface at pricing levels that make sense. As long as the technology and security are able to keep pace. Thank for the review.

At least Storj has something that's already working. Unlike 80% of other coins which are vaporware for now.

Oh this is great news! I was looking for a good cloud storage option recently and Storj's pricing looks very reasonable to me. I think I need to compare some of the players in the market before proceeding. I was also going to invest in some IOTA tokens but that Bitfinex platform is not for me! I somehow dont like it.

It's always good to see such news. To see big names supporting and behind a digital currency. It is also good to see huge companies testing blockchain tech on many of their services... It will take a lot of time for all that to be implemented to the world. Everyone is looking at us like UFOs or geeks. They simply don't understand the crypto world at all, and just label it and ignore it. I think life will prove all those people wrong after a few years :))

Hopefully soon ICOS can be ordered in some way, which appear more and more without any control and are disrupting the Ethereum network.
Many ICOS have excellent projects and a lot of future, but there is another so much that they are only looking for money with nothing to offer.

Do you think IOTA and EOS are in direct competition or could they work side by side? I wrote an article on EOS today and very much like what i have learned about it. I still do not know a whole lot about IOTA though..do you have to register your IOTA like the EOS ?
