I’m thinking of using Storj because I’d like a trustless solution. Are there any other good alternatives in the decentralized or Web3 space?

    Don’t use storj. I used to recommend them, but they have instituted a $5 minimum charge to have an account. The tl;dr is that they are interested in B2B, not individuals.

    I’ve moved over to Tigris.

    Announcement: https://forum.storj.io/t/new-minimum-usage-fee-starting-july-1/30057/1

    Here’s a follow up to the drama: https://forum.storj.io/t/a-follow-up-on-the-new-minimum-usage-fee-and-a-request-for-feedback/30089

    Hit up the /r/storj for more drama if you dare to look at Reddit again :puke:

      Oh, that’s disappointing. I was thinking of eventually using Storj as a second s3 endpoint for backups in addition to Backblaze.
