Does anyone know the difference between this and TahoLAFS? Almost sounds the same.
Decentralized data storage has finally landed

Re: Decentralized data storage has finally landed
#12I ran some storj nodes a few years ago but gave up because the ratio of what I needed to share to the amount I could store was too poor.
I see their pricing [0] has improved but does anyone have a good comparison of the true costs of various storage systems? I feel like I’m dealing with comparing Roblox to hearthstone gems when trying to figure out the cost of S3 vs Storj vs Filecoin vs whatever.
It seems like there should be some p2p system where I can share 100GB on my storage array in return for 10GB that’s reliable enough that it will always be there if my house burns down.
Currently I use S3 Glacier because S3 is too expensive.

If you want something that you can just plug into and leave alone, I'd just use Storj. It's priced the cheapest and their tech is the best thus far. I will say that it's built for developers so expect needing to spend some time to set everything up.

Storj is going to be a lot more tried and battle tested than TahoLAFS. If you need to reliable store files under a strong encryption, I'd use storj.

#15What's the difference between that and Diode?

#17Their pricing is only slightly cheaper than backblaze b2. For storage they charge $4/TB/month whereas b2 charges $5/TB/month, and for egress they charge $7/TB whereas b2 charges $10/TB. Personally I don't think the risks (eg. your cost going up because crypto price skyrocket, or you losing your data because of a crypto winter) are worth the savings. Not to mention there are much cheaper solutions than the two I mentioned, like deep glacier that only charges $1/TB for storage, or office365 that provides 6x1TB storage for $100/year.

Considering that their pricing page doesn't mention any storage prices, I'm guessing it's some sort of self-hosted cloud solution, rather than storj which is closer to something like s3.

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's like bitcoin that doesn't go up.
Money definitely goes up, it also goes down. What's important is what you compare it to. The USD has been going down for a long time, compared to EUR for example.
Bad memory? The first ever EURUSD exchange rate was 1.2034 in December of 2003. Today's rate is 1.2042.
It has most certainly not been going down for a long time.

Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m looking for something that does this analysis that I can follow. When I did the math a few years ago Storj wasn’t the cheapest, so I want a good way to confirm that if storj is best now, what’s best in a year, etc.
