The Blockchain cloudstorage project Storj has created a graphical user interface for storing files easier on the Storj network. They have built a C library called libstorj which can be integrated into applications such as FileZilla. Compared to cloud providers such as Amazon, Storj provides a more secure and cheaper method for storing files online.
I usually don't promote any referral links but since this doesn't cost the readers anything I thought it would be okay. If I other more referral links in the future I will make sure to always mention it. Same goes for disclosing paid advertisement if I ever were to do those.
Storj currently offers 25 GB for 12 months for free for signing up! Click the image below!
Just like in many other aspects blockchain technology are providing a cheaper method due to its advantages, same thing goes for cloudstorage and another similar project to Storj would be Sia which has recently started selling their ASIC miners which I talked about in Alt-News #2.

The cryptocurrency IOTA (Internet of things) has recently partnered up with F6S which is a world's largets platform for founders, start-ups and accelerators. Which means they will bring IOTA to their network and community which has over 2 million start-ups and developers and most of them focus on Internet-of-Things.
This could mean great things for the recently released currency which is currently only listed on Bitfinex. If you want to know more about IOTA I recommend checking out the website which is a work of art by itself.
At the same time IOTA is already partnered up with a lot of other businesses, some of the big names on the big list that stuck with me were: IBM, Microsoft and Consensys. Click here for a list of the rest of the connections
Enterprise Ethereum Alliance Becomes World’s Largest Open-source Blockchain Initiative
The total amount of Memberships recently exceeded over 150 Organizations in less than seven months. This is including the recently added Cisco Systems, Scotiabank, Government of Andhra Pradesh and MasterCard.
EEA’s rapid growth in membership mirrors the accelerating acceptance and deployment of Ethereum blockchain solutions in the global marketplace,
said Julio Faura, chairman of the board of Enterprise Ethereum Alliance.
The technological breadth, depth and variety of organizations coming together under the auspices of EEA to create and drive enterprise Ethereum standards bodes well for the future development of the next-generation Ethereum ecosystem.
The EEA was formed earlier this year and is seeking to evolve Ethereum into an enterprise-grade technology. Guess this is one of the big advantages of a technology having a face of the founders behind it which in my opinion was something important that bitcoin lacked to gain trust in real world companies and people. That and the technology behind it and what it can do compared to BTC.
It's going to be exciting when the world starts to look more into DPoS technologies and their advantage they have over PoW, which I believe Ethereum themselves are looking forward to evolve into soon with Casper.
