On: Storj – Blockchain-based decentralized storage network

[dmix]

From the whitepaper: [BitCumulus the web interface to the Storj network] "relies on clientside javascript encryption to secure the file in the client’s browser before uploading"

Also it seems to be decentralizing the file storage metadata but not the actual data?

Note the whitepaper is outdated. We are in the process of rewriting it. Its a better description of Metadisk, which is one of our front end web apps.

The metadata for the file is stored in a blockchain. The actually data may live on a centralized or decentralized source.
