Storj

Storj is a cool decentralized cloud storage platform that lets you store your data safely. You can access it through the MetaDisk web app, which takes your files, encrypts them, and spreads them across the network. Plus, you can join this network with Storj Share, which was previously known as DriveShare.

What is Storj Share?

So, what exactly is Storj Share? It's a user-friendly open-source application that allows you to share any unused space on your hard drive and add it to the Storj network. In return for sharing your space, you'll earn rewards in the form of Storjcoin X (SJCX), which is a digital currency built on the Counterparty and Bitcoin protocols.

Keep in Mind: Ongoing Development

A quick heads up: the Storj apps are still being worked on. When you download the Storj Share app and help developers gather valuable feedback, you'll be in line for some cool rewards. However, a payment method for users hasn’t been set up yet.

Earning Rewards with SJCX

To get those rewards, you need an SJCX address with over 10,000 SJCX. You can find all the details about creating your address and buying SJCX on the developer’s website.

Setting Up Your Storage

Once you've got your payout address and bought enough SJCX, just launch Storj Share and enter all the info they need. You’ll have options to choose where to store data on your Mac and how much disk space you want to share. And hey! You can even create multiple drives if you'd like to share different amounts.

Track Your Earnings Easily

Your current balance will show right above where you enter your address so that you can easily keep track of how much you've earned so far.

The Future of Sharing Drives

As mentioned earlier, since Storj Share is still being developed, you can't yet share your drives for a steady income. But if you've got extra disk space lying around, it's worth giving it a shot for some nice rewards!
