Can Storj can lower costs and increase usage?

Yes I know. I wanted to test it with Filezilla, but no avail: Invalid macaroon version.
I understand that maybe Filezilla cannot push updates as fast as Storj Labs publishes them.
But this may fire back at Storj Labs and their partner selection process. If I was a customer relying on Filezilla to manage my data and suddenly it stops working because Filezilla does not implement required changes, I would be really upset.

Here comes Theta in my mind again and their idea to offer Edge Computing too. Of course Storj Labs does not have the resources to beat Amazon and their multi billion Dollars. But the nodes don’t have to be low powered. If there is a revenue stream, I bet a lot of node operators would upgrade so that Storj could offer some kind of distributed computing as well.
Maybe to offer just storage is not enough.

I agree. I would even call it Tardigrade S3 in reference to Amazon S3 but as abbreviation of ‘Tardigrade Super Storage Service’.
