BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

STORJ CROWDSALE DETAILS

Storj has decided to hold a crowdsale to aid in development and to offer early adopters a

chance to experience our software before anyone else. The goal of the Storj team is to raise up

to 9,800 BTC (or ~$6,000,000 at current exchange rates). This revenue will be allocated in the

following categories:

  • Reimbursement of prior expenses

  • Salaries for full time contributors and payments to freelancers

  • Further development of Metadisk, our web application software

  • Development of DriveMiner, our storage and bandwidth renting software

  • Research and development for the protocol, applications, and blockchain technologies

  • Marketing, advertising, media, and articles

  • Community Funding

  • Legal counsel

This should give us enough resources to solidify our development team, perfect our codebase, and strengthen the Storj community.

For more information about what Storj is creating please take a look at the deck on our homepage http://storj.io and look at the crowdsale page at http://storj.io/crowdsale.

TERMS

1. Storjcoin X (SJCX)

SJCX will be used to purchase bandwidth and storage space on the Storj network, initially within

Metadisk and DriveMiner. Because Storj is making innovations in blockchain technology, we

reserve the right to release new versions of SJCX in the future if further development cannot

continue without a hard fork or if another crowdsale is warranted.

To reward early adopters, holders of SJCX at the time of creation of new coins will automatically

be given at least a 10% stake in the new versions of Storjcoin. This will allow us, and other 3rd

parties to experiment with new blockchain technology before integrating it into SJCX, but

making sure that SJCX holders get their fair share in the interim.

  • Algorithm: Counterparty Protocol

  • Block Time: 10 minutes

  • Total Coins: 500,000,000 SJCX

  • Coin Distribution

    • Bitcoin Sales - 70% of coins

    • Developer Pool - 15% of coins

    • Community Pool - 15% of coins

2. Pricing

The amount of SJCX participants receive during the crowdsale will depend on the

phase in which they contribute.

PHASE 1 - 10% Increase 0 - 1,800 BTC 38,500 SJCX per BTC

PHASE 2 - 5% increase 1,800 - 4,800 BTC 36,750 SJCX per BTC

PHASE 3 - Standard rate 4,800 - 9,800 BTC 32,480 SJCX per BTC

3. Early access to DriveMiner beta

When Storj determines that its storage and bandwidth renting application, DriveMiner, is ready

for use, participants in the crowdsale will be granted first access to the software and will be able

to sell their own space or purchase space from other users using SJCX. Storj reserves the right

to limit access to the beta for any reason.

Other Terms

We reserve the right to make modifications to the crowdsale plan, as we continue to refine the

protocols and strategy. Subscribers to our newsletter will be notified via email if we change the

terms. Please check the address in a block explorer before sending your coins. After we hit our

9,800 BTC limit, the extra coins will be returned to the wallet address which they were sent

from.

Other Cryptocurrencies

We may be accepting up to 3 alternative cryptocurrencies in private or public sales with up to

200 BTC in market value each, at our discretion. This is so we have a solid stake in any

platform that we intend to integrate with Storj in the future. Potentials include Mastercoin,

Counterparty, and Safecoin. These sales distributions will be included as part of the Bitcoin

sales portion of SJCX.

DISCLOSURES

1. Stake in Storj

SJCX is not a stock, security, equity, or share in a company. “Ownership” of SJCX tokens

resulting from this sale does not grant you any rights in Storj Labs whatsoever.

2. No refunds

No refunds will be made to purchasers of token Storjcoin X should they change their mind at a

later time, as the creation of the Storjcoin X tokens is locked in.

3. Pre-crowdsale

Storj held a pre-crowdsale to help us offset some of our ongoing marketing and development

costs. This allowed us to have a small team, and prototype our applications. The pre-crowdsale

was opened to a limited amount of people who fully understood the terms and conditions while

we were still drafting them. Pre-crowdsale participants received SJCX at a rate of 40,250 SJCX

per BTC up to 200 BTC.

4. If you send BTC From Coinbase or any other wallet that you don't control the private key for, then you can't claim Storjcoin X

If you send your crowdsale bitcoins from a wallet that you do not control the private key for (e.g.

Coinbase), then you will not be able to claim the Storjcoin X you purchased, and we will be

unable to generate new ones for you. This is because the tokens are issued on the

Counterparty (XCP) protocol. We recommend you use Counterwallet to send your contribution

as you will see your Storjcoin X within Counterwallet immediately after we process the

transaction with no further steps. (Storj does not have a stake in Counterwallet).

5. Low liquidity / Ability to sell these digital tokens will be limited

If you are purchasing the token Storjcoin X in order to hold it as "a store of wealth or value",

please understand that this project is in its early days of development and that we cannot

predict what the market depth will be. Therefore, it may be harder to buy and sell these tokens

without affecting the price on the market.

The address for the crowdsale is 132aBrspLgL54cm9eQfGNFLGqXwBRQrugc

By sending BTC to the crowdsale address,you agree to all of the terms stated above.
