Does anyone here rent out their hard-drive space for extra $$$?

never heard of this, but id be too skeptical to even try it.

I am skeptical.

Hard drive space is very cheap, why wouldn't they just buy it themselves?

Well the rates one can charge can match those of Dropbox, Drive, Onedrive, etc... Allows for even more cheaper hard drive space, especially with the latest whine-fest about Onedrive increasing their prices temporarily.

If you're talking about the Office Depot screwup, then you aren't actually getting them.

How can you rent out that amount of space with a typical internet connection?

You'd need something like google fiber to even make it viable...

If even one person starts to download something from your drives so you have enough upload bandwidth?

If you have less than a gigabit upload you don't have enough.

Heh, I bet you have something like 5 m/bits.....

Lol there is no real money involved... Rather some random crypto currency they made up.... A joke

All fun and games until some stores CP on them and it gets traced back to you

I be more interested on that story that shit is cheap are they laptop drives?

We don't have economies of scale compared to server farms.

That's storj, isn't it?

Those earnings are highly suspect marketing. In reality, as said, you'll be competing against server farms.

it might earn you a little money. But more like $20 than $200.

You need 2.5 BTC worth of their cryptocurrency to start.
