Cytat:Give 50GB, Get 50GB

Give your friends 50GB of storage and 50GB of bandwidth on Storj for free. Once they spend $10, we'll add the same amount to your account. There is no limit to how many friends you can refer.

Cytat:Many users coming from the Bitcoin space ask us why we created a new token named Storjcoin X (“SJCX”). There is a mix of technical and economic reasons why we felt a new token was needed. SJCX is built with Counterparty, which uses the Bitcoin blockchain. We have plans to implement Bitcoin in the future when Storj is more stable (ideally using sidechains).

Bitcoin is too Expensive - For standard storage providers 1 GB of storage goes $0.03 per month. So what if I want to store 1 MB and do payments every hour? Each payment would be $0.000000042. One satoshi, as of time of writing, is worth $0.0000037. This means Bitcoin would place some economic restrictions on the network.

Micropayment Lockup - We plan on using micropayment channels, which require locking up coins on the blockchain for the duration of the channel. We would much rather lock up lots of SJCX, than hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin while we’re still testing the protocol.

Economic Isolation - Bitcoin price fluctuates heavily for a wide variety of factors. Currency volatility can directly impact the profitability of nodes, and cause problems for the network. Having a separate token that is transacted widely within the network, but has little interaction outside the network, more directly ties currency price to network health.
