Tardigrade is accessible for developers of all levels, and you can get the hang of it in an afternoon. If you’re accustomed to working in the command line it will be even faster. You should start with the tutorial “How to Upload your First Object with Tardigrade” (see the embedded video at the bottom of this post).

Below are questions from our community members, and answers from the Storj Labs leadership team. Thanks to all those who submitted questions.
1. Is it possible to have more Nodes (different storage, different IP address) registered under one email address?Read More →
We had our quarterly town hall on April 22. If you weren’t able to attend, you can watch the video on YouTube. As with every town hall, we provided some great updates and this one included a live (well, it was live when it was recorded) demo using our Go library bindings for Tardigrade.
Beyond the town hall, the dev teams have been incredibly busy in the wake of our production release.Read More →
