Don't they only store 50 TB of data to Storj's 2,000 TB?

Potential for more more follow on funding. Certainly doesn't hurt.

#9Until 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.

#10Why is a grant of $100K even a story? Pet vacation startups seem to be able to attract $20M, so this seems sort of nothing.
