I guess I'm confused on how it's decentralized. don't you have to go through storj to buy/sell space? Isn't that still vendor lock in?

- dominickmarino 5y agoThank you for your question. Currently data is stored on a decentralized network of >13,000 storage nodes. Below is a great read on the path to true decentralization. https://www.storj.io/blog/applying-lessons-from-the-electric-car-to-the-path-to-100-decentralization https://www.storj.io/blog/applying-lessons-from-the-electric... A quote from the blog... "However, the purists in the community (and in Storj as well) will correctly point out that we’re not 100% decentralized with regard to Satellites. While Satellites are highly distributed and highly redundant, they’re not fully decentralized within the Storj network. We intend to make them fully decentralized over time, but this was a conscientious choice to go to market with this intermediate stage first."
