Once I tried to run Storj share on my home computer but even after doing everything by the books I never got any offers after a week, recently

I installed the Storj share software on a vps and surprisingly not only I encountered any errors but immediately I got more than 100 peers and now

I'm at 400+ offers received. however with opening and forwarding all the ports, when I selected the port 4000 as a default strangely my connection

Shows another port with an orange color and it says tunnel. I need to read your guides to resolve that but why is it when I install any crypto wallet

I could just allow the wallet in my firewall and have as many connections both ways without any problem but when it comes to cryptos like Storj I'm

Having trouble, I believe with a Bitcoin wallet installed I am downloading and uploading files from more than 6 peers, so where is the catch it's not

That easy with Storj share? even though my brother told me this and other coins like it are all a big scam but I needed to verify for myself.

If this is supposed to work in such a way that every person with spare hard drive could rent their hard drives in order to achieve a true decentralized

Network it should also be as easy as a few clicks to run this software and start being the cloud, this is on the development team to make sure of it.

I've been trading STORJ for 2.5 years and it's roughly doubled in terms of BTC in 30 months...
That is an awful performance regardless of "theoretical" shilling why any CTO would risk job to chose p2p over Amazon, Dropbox, etc...
So you are definitely not "outcompeting" anyone probably for very good reasons that no one will talk about.

Except this very smart guy who documented his experience= "Storj Not Dropbox Killer"... what fun.

`Except this very smart guy`, well he is not a very smart guy, because if he was he would (1) ask for help and not jump straight to conclusions, and (2) He would know that running a bridge without any knowledge or infrastructure is never going to work. Just because you have been trading the Storj token for almost 3 years means nothing, where are you helping to test the network and push the technology forwarard?, right, just thinking about your own profits and expect others to do the work.

the Filecoin ICO raised a record-setting $257 million.Token price reached about $6.00.   


Sia price:$0.006037
Market Cap: $176,459,493

Storj price: $0.568969
Market Cap:$54,951,617

Sia and Storj undervalued or Filecoin way Overvalued?
 

You may have missed this so I post it here as it's an interesting recent interview with Shawn Wilkinson of Storj on Bittopia:

Just wait for Netflix to find out they can reduce store costs 3 times by using decentralize store solutions like Storj. Jaja

That would be awesome! Can't wait for the day some major corporate starts using Storj!

"So capital is flowing OUT and into other projects that investors feel have a brighter future.", they are not investors, investors invest in the company by buying stock, the company then uses this raised money to make a better product. All these opportunist token buyers are doing is waiting for a token to rise in value and then sell, they don't invest into anything. Storj token is a use token to buy storage, these people don't use the token for that. I honestly couldn't care less if these token buyers run away, i will actually sleep better knowing that the current token holders are here to help further the use of the token and help develop the network.

"Especially in light of the way Storj has abused these markets and produced very little of value for anyone.", we have a working network, although far from perfect, its more than most of the top 50 marketcap tokens have, market kap says nothing about the actual value of the product/service, nothing. If you think it does, you are living in a dream world.

Just wait (and you'll see) for the traditional (post-ICO) dump of coins once their (Filecoin) crypto token is out and allowed for trading...

If your node goes down the data will get replicated on other nodes. There isn't only once copy of the data there are multiple.
So doesn't matter if your node goes down someone else will have the pieces you store on other nodes.
