Hello guys,
I have my SN now running for about 60h every thing works well.
Now let’s get to the really important stuff. How is Storj pronounced? I’m thinking about this since I heard about it the first time.
Best regards
Dominik

“Storage”
You can also listen how the staff spells it in their Youtube channel, like this Q&A overview with Jocelyn & Dylan: https://youtu.be/Az72JW4Nzig

I always liked “Storjay”

Storj is “Storgee” in french, not so far of Storjay. So, for the french translation “Stockage”, I would name my company “StockH”

I do the same if speaking in English. I dislike confusion, so I deliberately pronounce “Storj” to sound different from “storage”.
In Lithuanian it’s more like “storyot”,

I agree. Don’t want people to think I’m talking about some ominous “storage”. Nobody thinks about something called “STORJ” when they hear “storage”.
But tbh I rarely say that word anyways xD
And the product is actually tardigrade so guess that’s fine although you’ll find lots of anmials googling for it xD
But Storj will become so huge that people in the forums, chats and tweets will write “storj” on internet when they talk about storage. Then, it will enter in the urban dictionnary.

Finally they decided it’s pronounced “Storj-ay”:

But I think it sounds much better now. Previous “Stortsch” always sounded like someone talking who as throat problems.
No, the previous pronounce was a “storage”. But, it confuses people, when you mean the “storage” and when - “Storj” (company or tokens… ok, tokens are another confusion).
Because I’m Russian, I pronounced it as “storge”, it was obvious. For Germans it’s very close to the current “storjay”. But as it was invented by Shawn it was “storage”. However, the current “storjay” is more convenient for multiple languages.

Props to the team setting up this video! It’s funny and acknowledges everyone who tried to say it correctly, while at the same time announcing the change. I love that it also pokes fun at the fact that they have no clue what the J stands for. That’s one way to do it. And I kind of love it actually. Well done!

Some time ago at a local golang meetup I was making a technical presentation that included some technical details about Storj. I got the first question before I even started. I was standing with the title slide mentioning Storj behind me, the meetup host tried to announce the presentation, and after a short pause he asked—how to pronounce Storj.
In my meetup presentations I usually try to get audience engaged early, but I didn’t think I’d ever get their attention before even starting speaking…
And I love the video! I had to check if it didn’t come from The Onion. Brilliant marketing.
