Pandemic Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I've been following this company, Storj, for a while. Basically, you rent your drive space to them and they pay you via storj crypto token. It's be a really awesome way to utilize unused space on unraid devices. https://storj.io/share.html Quote Link to comment

heratic Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I prefer SIA but they need a better UISent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Pandemic Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I didn't realize SIA was the same premise as storj... I'll run both. Thanks for that! Anyway, SIA and STORJ would be awesome plugins for unraid. Quote Link to comment
heratic Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 SIA is trustless. There's no centeral organization that distributes the money like StorjSent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
hernandito Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 How much money do you make off this? Is it like $0.75 a month, or something more pleasant? IBasically, is it worth the effort? Quote Link to comment

IBasically, is it worth the effort?At the moment it's probably not worth it if your just in it for the money. It's more about supporting the projects in the infancy because you like the idea of encrypted cloud storage. I imagine once they improve there products and gain more main stream market adoption they may become more worth while. If you already have a machine that runs 24/7 and has spare HDD space.SIA is very easily in developmentSent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Pandemic Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've heard people are getting a few hundred per month for renting out about 10-12 TB Quote Link to comment

Pandemic Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) It's paid out in Storj cryptocurrency (which is built on ethereum). The equivalent of a few hundred USD. The payout breakdown depends on a number of things: http://blog.storj.io/post/156584576553/storj-payout-transparency paymentModelFunction = function(gbHours, telemReports, downloadedBytes) { gbHoursScaled = (gbHours - mean(gbHours)) / sd(gbHours) telemReportsScaled = (telemReports - mean(telemReports)) / sd(telemReports) downloadedBytesScaled = (downloadedBytes - mean(downloadedBytes)) / sd(downloadedBytes) basePayout = 10 ghHourPayout = 12.2221 * gbHoursScaled telemReportsPayout = 0.1452 * telemReportsScaled downloadedBytesPayout = 12.6849 * downloadedBytesScaled finalPayout = ghHourPayout + telemReportsPayout + downloadedBytesPayout + basePayout } ***** *****I was speaking to a docker dev from storj. Can anyone recommend any of the unraid devs who would want to collaborate on working with Storj? ***** Edited July 22, 2017 by Pandemic Quote Link to comment
scubafossil Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Would love this docker? Did anyone make it for unraid? or maybe have a guide? Quote Link to comment
mishmash- Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) I have a fully operational Sia docker I run. Still need to update it to the new wallet v.1.3.1 though. I'll need to post a few bullet points as a guide when I'm home again in a couple of weeks. Edited to add: I also had a Storj docker set up and running, but the thing with Storj is if your latency is too high from the bridge (of which there is only one in US I believe) then you don't get any contracts. There's a blog floating around somewhere of a guy who tried to set up his own bridge, but I don't think it worked out at all. I should still have the draft config buried somewhere in my unraid box.

Maximus Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 How did you setup a Storj docker? Quote Link to comment
Jcloud Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Scary, I think I know how to make these Docker Containers now. This appears to be running. The template is based on Storj public nightly build. Here is the Storj hub.. This is NOT the Storj GUI, just the daemon, which is accessed through cli via docker. Only seems like one important command anyways: docker exec Storj storjshare status EDIT: ((Nuked the template)) Can now be found on the Community Apps Plugin.
