b'On today\\u2019s show I feel privileged to be speaking once again with Shawn Wilkinson, the brains behind Storj. Storj.io is decentralized cloud storage utilizing the world\\u2019s best blockchain \\u2013 that\\u2019s right the Bitcoin Blockchain.\\n\\nIn the first half of the show I take us all back in time to the 2015 Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin, Texas and to an interview from the lost Tree House Studio archives. Back in 2015 I had an opportunity to sneak into the Bitcoin conference hackathon and interview the 2014 winner of the hackathon who was . . . you guessed it . . . Shawn Wilkinson \\u2013 the mastermind behind Storj.io. \\n\\nThe 2nd half of the show features Shawn once again as he walks me through how to rent out 20 gigs of storage space on my Macbook Pro. I ask some silly questions and with the patience of a saint, Shawn answers my questions and gets me set up and running my computer as a farmer growing Storj coins and supporting a really great decentralized cloud storage service. \\n\\nAlso on this episode you\\u2019ll get to hear the one and only Santa Clause perform for us his rendition of It\\u2019s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Bitcoin \\u2013 a new holiday tradition celebrating the birth of our beloved . . . bitcoin. \\n\\nFor more detailed information about Storj, check out John Ferguson\\u2019s podcast Technology and Choice \\u2013 Episode #11 on the Let\\u2019s Talk Bitcoin Network.
