Great write-up. I've been following the STORJ project with great interest and recently bought into the ICO for SJCX tokens. I hope that the team hasn't been distracted by the ICO and fundraising and continues to focus on providing a great service instead.... I don't really care about the value of my SJCX in the short-term, I'd rather a functioning and user-friendly platform to attract mass adoption.
At least the team has a working product, unlike other competitors out there. I think you are right, there is great potential and will be great demand if they get it working.
I think the vision is great (for both storj and sia). I am still bullish, but have concerns.
