Episode notes
On today’s show I feel privileged to be speaking once again with Shawn Wilkinson, the brains behind Storj. Storj.io is decentralized cloud storage utilizing the world’s best blockchain – that’s right the Bitcoin Blockchain.
In the first half of the show I take us all back in time to the 2015 Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin, Texas and to an interview from the lost Tree House Studio archives. Back in 2015 I had an opportunity to sneak into the Bitcoin conference hackathon and interview the 2014 winner of the hackathon who was . . . you guessed it . . . Shawn Wilkinson – the mastermind behind Storj.io.
The 2nd half of the show features Shawn once again as he walks me through how to rent out 20 gigs of storage space on my Macbook Pro. I ask some silly questions and with the patience of a saint, Shawn answers my questions and gets me set up and running my computer as a farmer growing Storj coins and supporting a really great decentralized cloud storage service.
Also on this episode you’ll get to hear the one and only Santa Clause perform for us his rendition of It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Bitcoin – a new holiday tradition celebrating the birth of our beloved . . . bitcoin.
