I have been looking for a cheap cloud storage solution where I could store my backups and I’ve stumbled upon https://www.storj.io/ . Apparently it’s some decentralized storage solution and I was wondering if someone was currently using it and what was their experience with it. (for backups or something)

They’re 0.001 cent cheaper per GB than blackblaze which is the cheapest cloud I found, so i’m considering using them, it’s not gonna make a huge difference for the amount i’m gonna use but I’m still a bit curious

    i was thinking joining the node but it was not worth it since you pay their coin. of course you can convert to cash too much hassle

    Been testing for a few weeks and now in the process of uploading my pictures as off-site backup. So far enjoyed the dashboard and process of storing data. Speeds same as other storage providers from my local network. I am using rclone. I also like the fact you can name buckets whatever you want. If all goes wrong I still have a copy on AWS. I like to maintain two off-site copies. Recently dropped B2. I will monitor Storj for a few months and pull some archives to test. I have hashes of all my archives. I store pictures into 5GB archive chunks which helps with reducing 64mb segments (a unique concept no other providers have). Watch out for the $0.007 egress (25GB free each month).
