Yeah great storage price at ~$4 / TB / month. But be aware that egress is $7 / TB.

If someone is mostly just backing up, that’s probably not an issue… well, at least until you have to do a big restore, or you do large recovery testing, or even just backup validations, etc.

If someone is doing lots of reading of their cloud data, e.g. streaming, then there are overall cheaper options than Storj.

One other thing I liked about Storj is that they split each file up geographically. So there’s a little extra level of privacy and security.

Sure, anyone can sign with a key. Having THE key is the extraordinary part.

Huh? I run SmartTube beta on my phone. I don’t recall having to do anything “magic” to get it working.

I have never said or intended to imply that there were no advances made in the last 20 or 30 years.

This would be great news if it was commercialy viable, but it isn’t. It NEVER is.

That’s pretty definite by any measure.

But I get it. 99% of the announcements go nowhere. And it’s worse if an announcement is just hype or hyperbole. However, in science we have to do the 99% to find the 1% of true advancements.

So of your point is just that you don’t like the hyperbole, then using hyperbole yourself is not doing yourself any favour. Of course people are going to be more measured and realistic in reply to your blatant over-statements and denials.
