Storj is a very nice project with cool concept of data encryption and decentralisation, but I feel like their documentation is overwhelming for new users, especially for those who spent their entire life with Windows OS family or fancy GUIs that abstract the back end. Then one of our subscribers (hi Paul) brought to my attention that he was interested in getting into Storj mining (or hosting, however you want to call it), but was unable to start because of confusing instructions on the main project website. So now comes this blog post (and YouTube video) which is made for people who don’t fully understand the concept of servers, linux, docker and so on, but they really want to contribute to a Storj storage pool and get some rewards in return, of cource.
So where do you start exactly? Well, that’s a good question, and now that you know what the Storj is, let’s dive into the Storj mining.
