Hello Zengineers! (And SideChainers who backtracked to the pre-release episode!) Surprise! And welcome to our first Zengineering Media spinoff podcast, The SideChain. It’s a Zengineering podcast, but all about blockchain tech, cryptocurrencies, and all that fun stuff. As an intro this is the only time we’ll run one of these in the Zengineering feed. If you want to subscribe you can search for The Sidechain it in whatever podcast app you prefer, or start here: http://sidechain.libsyn.com/ This week we’ve got a quick intro for the Zengineering listeners with our guest, T. Brian Jones. He’s co-host of Zengineering Podcast, a mechanical engineer, a software engineer, and the CTO of Netwise Data. We get into a conversation about a decentralized cloud storage project called Storj -- check it out at https://storj.io/ -- Specifically, we explore whether or not it would be feasible to build a solar powered storage farming rig to put in the backyard to roll in some of that sweet sweet crypto. Enjoy! Adam
