More secure that STORJ
+ Significantly cheaper than STORJ
+ On-blockchain smart contracts
+ Storage marketplace creates more competition and storage place
Attractive to users, not really attractive to farmers
+ Doesn't have a central bridge, like STORJ, thus no scalability issues
+ More trustworthy team compared to STORJ
- Storage used is behind STORJ (3.4PB as of 12/23/2017)
- Node count is behind STORJ (700 as of 12/23/2017)
