Ben Golub, the CEO that helped Docker create a business model around Linux containers is back. This time he is at the helm of a company called storj Labs that could be the Airbnb and Lyft of storage.
storj is an all-in-one storage solution targeted at developers and enterprise customers who want a storage solution that has these characteristics:
  • It must be open source
  • It must be decentralized
  • It must be end-to-end encrypted
  • It must have flexible ‘cloud-like’ pricing model
  • It must be fast and reliable
  • Total control over content
Why do you need a new storage solution when there is there is Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Dropbox? Because none of these vendors fulfil any of the listed conditions. None.

Back to basics: What is Storj

You can read all that you need to know about Storj on the FAQ page. The TLDR; version is that Storj is a modern approach towards storage; an approach suitable for the fourth industrial revolution.
Storj has three stakeholders: farmers; renters and Storj Labs Inc., the company.
  • Farmers can be individuals or organizations with surplus storage and bandwidth, which they could rent out.
  • Users pay to rent storage for their data
  • Storj Labs offers a network of farmers, infrastructure and software needed for the entire Storj experience.
As a fully open source project, Storj can be used by anyone to build a fully decentralized storage-as-a-service solution. It’s like building your own Uber or AirBnB service. That’s the easy part. The real challenge is building a massive network of drivers and riders that bring enough traffic to make the venture sustainable. Or, in the case of Storj, the real value is in the massive network of farmers and renters.
That’s exactly what Storj Labs, the company behind Storj project is doing. It’s similar to Red Hat or SUSE. Building a business model around an Open Source project.

How does it work?

Anyone with additional storage and a reliable network can sign-up to become a farmer. All you need is install an app on your local machine and configure storage and networking. Anyone can sign-up become a user to ‘rent’ the storage space. Storj Labs is currently working on updating their network so they are not accepting new users at the moment.
Once a user uploads a file to the Storj network, it’s encrypted locally and then shredded into tiny pieces, each of which is also encrypted, and then replicated three times and spread across 20-80 machines managed by farmers. Storj has over 150,000 machines on it’s network spread across 200 countries.
As a result, it is able to meet the the requirements listed above. While Storj is targeted at developers and enterprise customers, it could also be a very effective solution for users who want complete ownership of their data without worrying about the service provider or some oppressive governments shuttling through their data.

Here's Why Roku Will Surpass $100 In Next Two Years

Image
With 22 million subscribers, Roku now rivals Comcast as the second largest distributor of content in the United States. 80% of time of OTT viewing is spent on catalog programming vs. costly original programming. Roku's ad-supported business model fights highly fragmented subscription fatigue. Global is where Roku will become a large-cap phenom in the future. The low cost platform combined with over 5,000 channels today serves global markets like no competitor can. Roku's (ROKU) stock is getting a lot of attention after it reported stellar second-quarter results due to 57% year-over-year revenue growth to $156.8 million beating the analyst forecast of $141 million. Compare this to 37% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1. However, as I stated in my Q1 article, the platform revenue is where Roku will continue to see a majority of the gains. The video streaming platform revenue was up 96% during the period to $90.3 million with player revenue up 24% to $66.5 milli...
