How is redundancy of storage arranged; in the protocol of the blockchain and sofware rules around it, or does your hw have to provide eg disk redundancy?

It's at the software level, you don't need to have RAID or anything (unless you really want to, of course)

Files are stored in multiple nodes, after being sliced so anyone can get the full file. You get paid by the amount of disk space you are really ocupying. If the PC is shutdown and it remains in this state for some time, then some files -contracts- could be removed by the software. You are only paid by the amount of time files are stored on your disk and by the bandwidth provided. If user uploads the file once you will be paid less than if the user uploads once but downloads many times. That is in contrast with Sia, where you must provide some collateral and you loose it if file is unable to be accessed for a time. There is no penalty in Storj. Notice that I am not advocating for Storj and I will likely migrate to Sia during this summer.

Why are you migrating to Sia? Storj is moving from Counterwallet to Ethereum which should improve their backend.

Good points @javirid. Also SIA is on my list to check out. At this point in time I cannot say what I like more. Uploading files but by people to store them in the cloud but never though them seems not so interesting from commercial point of view with Storj. I have to look into the commercials with SIA though. I also have to do some calculations on cost versus income on both Storj and SIA. What about Filecoin? Also on my list to check out.

On the guide on their (Storj) website they explain how to share the files. There is also an API so programmers could work on it. I am pretty sure that it is possible to, for example, create a website fully hosted on the Storj nodes. That will increase payments for farmers (people who run nodes). Anything to say about Filecoin. Just Know that it appeared earlier than Sia and Storj. On the Sia side, there is already a business working. Storj provides 25 GB for free the first 12 months. I really think Sia will surpass Storj. They also have a **much much much** better interface. Sia is managed with only an app. Both for uploading files and managing the hosting of other users who are renting yours. Storj provides a command-line interface for the final user and a command-line interface for the farmer (hosting). Sia asks the user to download the blockchain (which is not the bitcoin one) while Storj doesn't need it as it is not blockchain based. In Sia everything happens with Siacoin, while Storj final users pay in fiat that then is converted to SJCX -which is a Conterparty asset- in order to pay farmers. This summer farmers will be paied in a new ERC20 token, STORJ. There will also be MaidSafe (an Omni asset) which wants to provide a real way of sharing files and accessing them. And PIVX, I think. Just to start, Storj is fine. It doesnt asks for the collateral :)
