Until you can educate the public (and ISPs) on the importance of upload speeds, this will be crippled.
I constantly meet people who cannot understand why their upload of some video is taking forever when they have 30Mbps internet. Send them to speedtest.net or another bandwidth tester, and you find that their download speed may be 20+Mbps, but their up speed is 1Mbps or less.
And since saturating your upstream connection results in dramatic slowdowns and software pauses due to network waits, people will quickly blame Storj for ruining their internet.
Incidentally, the "How does it work?" video on the storj site does not tell how it works; it's just a typical zero-substance ad.
- super3 10y agoHow it works would be at the bottom of the page labeled whitepaper (https://storj.io/storj.pdf https://storj.io/storj.pdf), or you could have clicked on the link labeled Github (https://github.com/Storj/ https://github.com/Storj/) to look at the code. Storj is a direct competitor to Amazon S3. We don't have to educate the public, just the developers that need to store data somewhere.
- blunte 10y agoYes, I did already scan the whitepaper. The point is that there is no real information in the video that they title "How does it work?" And if they are in fact targeting developers, then the video makes even less sense as devs will be far less impressed than laypeople.
- super3 10y ago27-30sec show the upload process and security, 45-51 sec down the download process and speed. The middle of the video describes the encryption process. I disagree that its devoid of how does it work, but sure I could see someone wanted more info in the video. What do you suggest needs to be included?
- buzzybee 10y agoThat never stopped Bittorrent.
- kordless 10y agoYou are speaking for others and making biased comments to attack a fairly mature technology of which you yourself claim to have no knowledge. Poking at it with the (rationalized) argument "your bandwidth will suck" is the epitome of a zero-substance comment.
