We are not built on top of Sia or Storj. Our technology has been developed for the past decade and is independent.
Storage comes from services that we offer to end consumers. In exchange for our services they agree to let us use the unused storage on device, i.e. (https://crowdstorage.com/products/device-backup/ https://crowdstorage.com/products/device-backup/). We plan on expanding to many more devices.
Storage also comes from being able to transparently leverage more traditional storage that we purchase from various providers.
- mrlinx 6y agoThis is still not a clear answer. Where is the data? who are those people holding the data? how do they enroll in this?
- onionjake 6y agoIt is a service you can sign up for https://crowdstorage.com/products/device-backup-my-cloud-home/ https://crowdstorage.com/products/device-backup-my-cloud-hom.... Stay tuned for support on more devices in the future (i.e. synology, qnap, etc.). We also purchase storage in datacenters.
- iagovar 6y agoSo, you're selling unused space in your own hardware? I'm sorry but It's not really clear.
